Mellanox InfiniBand Swiches

The Mellanox IS5000 family of InfiniBand switches delivers the highest performance and port density with a complete fabric management solution (FabricIT) to enable compute clusters and converged data centers to operate at any scale while reducing operational costs and infrastructure complexity. IS5000 family of switches includes a broad portfolio of Edge and Director switches supporting 120Gb/s and 40Gb/s port speeds and ranging from 12 ports to 648 ports. These switches allow IT managers to build the most cost-effective and scalable switch fabrics ranging from small clusters up to 10's-of-thousands of nodes. FabricIT reduces fabric management overhead by providing the essential capabilities for managing systems at scale with simplicity and flexibility. Networks built with IS5000 switches and FabricIT can carry converged traffic with the combination of assured bandwidth and granular quality of service ensuring the highest productivity.
