Cisco SFS 7000 Series InfiniBand Server Switches

The Cisco SFS 7000P InfiniBand Server Switch is a high-performance building block for grid and cluster computing. It enables standard servers to form high-speed, low-latency fabrics, unlocking the full potential of high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

With 24 ports of 10/20-Gbps InfiniBand connectivity, the SFS 7000P delivers a non-blocking aggregate bandwidth of 960 Gbps. The switch is designed for massive scalability, featuring an integrated Cisco InfiniBand Subnet Manager that simplifies the deployment of large-scale server clusters. Operating on the proven Topspin OS, it provides robust management options including a Java-based GUI, Web interface, and a familiar CLI via SSH or Telnet. Its "front-to-back" airflow design and low power consumption make it ideal for modern, high-density data center racks.
