InfiniBand Switch Systems

The NVIDIA's family of InfiniBand switches deliver the highest performance and port density with complete fabric management solutions to enable compute clusters and converged data centers to operate at any scale while reducing operational costs and infrastructure complexity. Nvidia switches includes a broad portfolio of Edge and Director switches supporting 40, 56, 100, 200 and 400Gb/s port speeds and ranging from 8 to 800 ports.

Edge Switches

The Edge family of switch systems provide the highest-performing fabric solutions in a 1U form factor by delivering up to 51Tb/s of non-blocking bandwidth with the lowest port-to-port latency. These edge switches are an ideal choice for top-of-rack leaf connectivity or for building small to medium sized clusters. The edge switches, offered as externally managed or as managed switches, are designed to build the most efficient switch fabrics through the use of advanced InfiniBand switching technologies such as Adaptive Routing, Congestion Control and Quality of Service.

Modular Switches

Nvidia’s director modular switches provide the highest density switching solution, scaling from 8.64Tb/s up to 320Tb/s of bandwidth in a single enclosure, with low-latency and the highest per port speeds of up to 200Gb/s. Its smart design provides unprecedented levels of performance and makes it easy to build clusters that can scale out to thousands-of-nodes. The InfiniBand modular switches deliver director-class availability required for mission-critical application environments. The leaf, spine blades and management modules, as well as the power supplies and fan units, are all hot-swappable to help eliminate down time.

NVIDIA DPU (Data Processing Unit)

The NVIDIA® BlueField® Data Processing Unit (DPU) is a system on a chip, a hardware accelerator specialized for complex tasks like fast data processing and data-centric computing. This is primarily intended to relieve the CPU of network and communication tasks and thus save CPU resources by outsourcing and taking over application-supporting tasks such as data transfer, data reduction, data security and analyses. The use of a DPU is particularly suitable for all workloads with supercomputing tasks such as AI, cloud and big data. A dedicated operating system on the chip can be combined with the primary operating system and offers functions such as encryption, erasure coding and compression or decompression.
