MSX6018F-1BFS - SwitchX® 2 FDR Infiniband 1U Switch 2Tb/s, managed, 18xQSFP, 1PSU, P2C airflow, short depth

SX6018 18-port 56Gb/s InfiniBand/VPI Switch Systems

The SX6018 switch systems provides the highest performing fabric solution in a 1RU form factor by delivering 2Tb/s of non-blocking bandwidth with 200ns port-to-port latency. Built with Mellanox’s 6th generation SwitchX®-2 InfiniBand switch device, these switches provides up to eighteen 56Gb/s full bi-directional bandwidth per port. These stand-alone switches are an ideal choice for top-of-rack leaf connectivity or for building small to extremely large sized clusters.

 

The SX6018 with Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) supporting InfiniBand and Ethernet connectivity provide the highest performing and most flexible interconnect solution for PCI Express Gen3 servers. VPI simplifies system development by serving multiple fabrics with one hardware design. VPI simplifies today network by enabling one platform to run both InfiniBand and Ethernet subnets on the same chassis.

 

The SX6000 switch family enables efficient computing with features such as static routing, adaptive routing, and advanced congestion management. These features ensure the maximum effective fabric bandwidth by eliminating congestion hot spots.
