The
InfiniBand switch module offers 14 Gb ports, one to each server, and 16 ports
out of the chassis
per
switch. This solution offers a no compromise, congestion free solution to meet even the most performance
hungry applications.
switch. This solution offers a no compromise, congestion free solution to meet even the most performance
hungry applications.
The
module's HyperScale architecture also provides a unique inter-switch link or
mesh capability to
form
highly scalable, cost effective, and low latency fabrics. Since this switch has 16 uplink ports, they can
create a meshed architecture and still have unblocked access to data using the 14 uplink ports. This
solution can scale from 14 to 126 nodes and offer latency less than 200 nanosecond allowing applications
to operate at maximum efficiency.
