QLogic InfiniBand Switches

The QLogic 12000 Series represents anew class of InfiniBand switching for High Performance Computing (HPC). Based on the QLogic TrueScale™ ASIC platform, these advanced 40Gb/s QDR InfiniBand switches offer the highest port count, the highest port density, the most flexibility, with the lowest power requirements per port than any other rack mountable solution available on the market. The 12000 Series with the QLogic InfiniBand Fabric Suite also represents a new class of easier to use but more powerful InfiniBand fabric management. QLogic InfiniBand Fabric Suite simplifies InfiniBand networking with automated installation, configuration, and monitoring of the fabric. InfiniBand Fabric Suite makes InfiniBand fabric management more powerful with advanced QoS, adaptive routing and vFabric™, virtual InfiniBand fabrics that improve the utilization of InfiniBand resources.
