OCP European Summit – Mellanox® Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ:MLNX), a leading supplier of high-performance, end-to-end interconnect solutions for data center servers and storage systems, today announced its 10 and 40GbE NIC will support the new Microsoft Open CloudServer (OCS) specification “version 2”.
