QLogic 12800 InfiniBand Switches for the IBM Intelligent Cluster

3

Modular Design: InfiniBand port, power, cooling, and management modules are common in the 



series, giving customers the flexibility to deploy and grow HPC environments in a cost-effective 
fashion.

Investment Protection : The QLogic 12800 adheres to the InfiniBand Trade Association version 1.2 



specification, ensuring the ability to interoperate with all other IBTA-compliant devices.

Highly Reliable: This system is designed for high availability with features that include: port-to-port 



and module-to-module failover, non-disruptive firmware upgrades, component level diagnostics and 
alarming, and both in-band and out-of-band management.

Easy to Manage: The 12800 uses QLogic’s advanced IFS software for quicker installation and 



configuration. IFS has advanced tools to verify fabric configuration, topology, and performance. Faults 
are automatically isolated to the component level and reported.

Simple Installation and Configuration : Using the installation and configuration wizards contained in 



the IFS package allows end users to bring up fabrics in days instead of weeks.

Power Optimized: Maximum performance is delivered with minimal power and cooling requirements 



as part of QLogic’s Star Power commitment to developing green solutions for the data center.
