Overview
Mellanox's Unified Fabric Manager (UFM®) is a powerful platform for managing scale-out
computing environments. UFM enables data center operators to efficiently monitor and operate
the entire fabric, and maximize fabric resource utilization.
UFM eliminates the complexity of fabric management, provides deep visibility into traffic and
health, and optimizes application performance.
While other tools are device-oriented and involve manual processes, UFM is an automated and
an application-oriented software which bridges the gap between servers, applications and fabric
elements. Thus, it enables administrators to manage and optimize clusters of various sizes.
UFM®-SDN Appliance is offered as a pre-installed network device, suitable for all OS environ-
ments. It uses a Mellanox ConnectX-4 EDR 2 port adapter card, which is installed on Mellanox
fabric with a minimal effort.
