About the Mellanox SwitchX-2 SX6710G
The SX6710G is a high-performance, low-latency 56Gb/s FDR InfiniBand to 40Gb/s Ethernet gateway.
SCALING-OUT DATA CENTERS WITH INFINIBAND TO ETHERNET GATEWAY
Faster servers based on PCIe 3.0, combined with high-performance storage and applications that use increasingly complex computations, are causing data bandwidth requirements to spiral upward. As servers are deployed with next generation processors, High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments and Enterprise Data Centers (EDC) will need every last bit of bandwidth delivered with Mellanox's FDR InfiniBand to 40GbE high-speed smart gateways.
VIRTUAL PROTOCOL INTERCONNECT® (VPI)
Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) flexibility enables any standard networking, clustering, storage and management protocol to seamlessly operate over any converged network leveraging a consolidated software stack. VPI simplifies I/O system design and makes it easier for IT managers to deploy infrastructure that meets the challenges of a dynamic data center.
With its high bandwidth, low latency and reduced overhead, InfiniBand is the ideal choice for speeding application performance while simultaneously consolidating network and I/O infrastructure. Combining InfiniBand and Ethernet into a single solution provides an ideal rack backbone for next generation data centers.
SUSTAINED NETWORK PERFORMANCE
Built with Mellanox's SwitchX®-2-based switches, the InfiniBand to Ethernet gateway software license or system, provides full port flexibility to choose between 56Gb/s InfiniBand to either 10, 40 and 56Gb/s Ethernet with low 400ns latency.
SX6710G, when combined with Mellanox's ConnectX® host adapter family, delivers cost savings by integrating two networks on a single wire. Consolidating multiple networks on a single wire delivers both CAPEX and OPEX savings. OPEX savings are provided by reducing cabling complexity, reducing switch and server infrastructure and delivering a consistent and easy to use management software.
MANAGEMENT
SX6710G MLNX-OS® software delivers complete chassis management, to manage the firmware, power supplies, fans, ports and other interfaces. SX6710G can also be coupled with Mellanox's Unified Fabric Manager (UFM®) software for managing scale-out computing environments. UFM enables data center operators to efficiently provision, monitor and operate the modern data center fabric.The SX6710G is a high-performance, low-latency 56Gb/s FDR InfiniBand to 40Gb/s Ethernet gateway.
