Mellanox data center interconnect products now available via Synnex's GSA schedule
Mellanox Technologies (NASDAQ: MLNX), a supplier of end-to-end interconnect for data center servers and storage systems, announced that its full line of end-to-end InfiniBand and Ethernet interconnect products are now available through Synnex Corporation's (NYSE: SNX) General Services Administration (GSA) schedule.
Synnex government solution providers can now deliver Mellanox's solutions to U.S. federal, state and local government agencies, with more efficiency and minimal administrative overhead. GSA contracts are the most widely used government contract vehicle for procurement by U.S. federal, state and local governments. Due to pre-negotiated pricing, terms, and conditions that streamline the government sales process, GSA contracts simplify the procurement process and enable government agencies to make purchases quickly and easily.
