Scaling-Out Data Centers with Fourteen
Data Rate (FDR) InfiniBand
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 next
generation of FDR InfiniBand high-speed smart
switches.

FDR
FDR InfiniBand technology moves from 8b/10b
encoding a more efficient 64/66 encoding while
increasing the per lane signaling rate to 14Gb/s.
Mellanox end-to-end systems can also take
advantage of the efficiency of 64/66 encoding
using Mellanox FDR 10 supporting 20% more
bandwidth over QDR using the same cables/
connectors designed for 40GbE.

InfiniBand
switch device, the SX6025 provides up to
thirty-six 56Gb/s full bi-direc tional 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.

Why Software Defined Network (SDN)?
Data center networks have become exceedingly
complex. IT managers cannot optimize the
networks for their applications leading to
complex. IT managers cannot optimize the
networks for their applications leading to
high CAPEX/OPEX, low ROI and IT headaches.
Mellanox InfiniBand SDN Switches ensure
separation between control and data planes.
InfiniBand enables centralized management and
view of network. Programmability of the network
by external applications and enable cost effective,
simple and flat interconnect infrastructure.

Smart Switches for Smart Clusters
The SX6025 enables efficient computing with
features such as static routing, adaptive routing,
and congestion control. These features ensure
the maximum effective fabric bandwidth by
eliminating congestion hot spots. Whether used
for parallel computation or as a converged fabric,
the SX6000 family of switches provides the
industry’s best traffic-carrying capacity, making
it easy to build clusters that can scale-out to
thousands-of-nodes.
