Mellanox IS5600 648-port 40 Gbps InfiniBand Director-class switch
The IS5600 Director switch provides a high density switching solution, scaling up to 51.8 Tbps of bandwidth in a single enclosure, with latency as low as 100-300 ns port-to-port.. Built with the Mellanox fourth generation InfiniScale IV InfiniBand switch technology, the modular chassis provides the ability to scale clusters near-linearly as the cluster size grows. The IS5600 is a 29U rack mount unit and can hold up to 36 leaf modules. Each leaf module contains 18 40 Gbps ports for a total of up to 648 ports

The Mellanox IS5600Q-10DNC Switch Bundle contains the following components

One IS5600 chassis.
Capacity for up to 36 leaf modules, with each leaf module containing 18 ports (Feature Code 5445)
One management module. A second redundant module is supported (Feature Code 5444).
Eight standard power supplies to power a fully configured chassis. Two additional redundant power supplies are available (Feature Code 5739 or 5748)Capacity for up to 36 leaf modules, with each leaf module containing 18 ports (Feature Code 5445).

Mellanox IS5200 216-port 40 Gbps InfiniBand Director-class switch

Features and benefits

The Mellanox IS5000 family of Director-class and Edge-class InfiniBand switches have the following features:

Converged fabrics
Inter-processor communication (IPC), application data, or transfers to or from storage easily flow through an IS5000 fabric. Granular QoS and guaranteed bandwidth allocation can be applied per traffic type. This ensures that each type of traffic has the resources needed to ensure the highest application performance.
Sustained network performance
The IS5000 family of switches enables efficient computing by using static routing, adaptive routing, and advanced congestion management. These features ensure the maximum effective fabric bandwidth by eliminating congestion hot spots.
World-class design
The IS5000 family of switches is designed for performance, serviceability, energy savings, and high availability. The IS5030 switches are optimized for industry-standard racks and scale-out computing solutions from industry leaders. For greater scale-out requirements, the IS5200 and IS5600 chassis switches are the ideal choice. Common modules are used across the entire IS5000 Director class of switches, such as leafs, spines, management modules, power supplies, and fans, which provides ultimate value and ease of use.
FabricIT: Comprehensive and integrated fabric management solution for cluster computing, database, storage, and grid computing
FabricIT provides a reliable and scalable management solution for InfiniBand networks that can be deployed as a stand-alone manager on a compute or management node or integrated into the Mellanox IS5000 family of switches. FabricIT includes a comprehensive package for cluster power on, fabric-wide bandwidth and latency verification, and various diagnostic tools to check node-node and node-switch connectivity, provide a cluster topology view, and verify the upper layer protocol.
Low-latency switching
The IS5000 family of switches offer the lowest switching port-to-port latency, providing the most efficient communication between processing nodes, supporting larger and more scalable fabrics, and providing near-linear application performance scaling.
Granular QoS for cluster, LAN, and SAN traffic
IPC, LAN, and SAN traffic can be carried over a common InfiniBand fabric, thereby reducing the number of adapters, switch ports, and cables and lowering space, power, equipment, and operational costs. With support for granular QoS over the IS5000 switches, different traffic types can share the same fabric resources at the appropriate QoS levels, thereby maximizing the utilization of the fabric while maintaining traffic isolation with no compromises to performance.
