Mellanox SN3700C
The Ideal Data Center Switch for Cloud, Ethernet Storage Fabrics, and Machine Learning Solutions
[MSN3700C]Details
Features without Compromise
Performance without Compromise
- Fully shared packet buffer provides fair, predictable and high-performance data path - essential for scale out software defined storage and modern multi-tenant cloud deployments
- Robust RoCE transport to power NVMe over fabric and Machine Learning applications that leverage GPUdirect
- Consistent and low cut-through latency
Scale without Compromise
- Best in class VXLAN scale with 10X more tunnels and tunnel end points
- 512K shared forwarding entries that can be flexibly shared across ACL, LPM routes, Host routes, MAC, ECMP and Tunnel applications
Visibility without Compromise
- Reduced Mean Time to Recovery/Innocence.
- Detailed and contextual telemetry with What Just Happened (WJH)
- Instant answers to issues: When, What, Who, Where and Why
- Hardware-accelerated histograms track and summarize queue depths at sub-microsecond granularity, avoiding false-alerts common to simple watermarks/thresholds
- Inband Network Telemetry (INT)-ready hardware
- Streaming Telemetry
- 512K on-chip flow counters
NETWORK DISAGGREGATION: OPEN ETHERNET
Open Ethernet breaks the paradigm of traditional switch systems, eliminating vendor lock-in.
Instead of forcing network operators to use the specific software that is provided by the switch vendor.
Open Ethernet offers the flexibility to use a choice of operating systems on top of Ethernet switches, thereby re-gaining control of the network, and optimizing utilization, efficiency and overall return on investment.
Open Ethernet adopts the same principles as standard open solutions for servers and storage, and applies them to the world of networking infrastructure.
It encourages an ecosystem of open source, standard network solutions.
These solutions can then be easily deployed into the modern data center across network equipment that eases management and ensures full interoperability.
With a range of system form factors, and a rich software ecosystem, SN3000 series allows you to pick and choose the right components for your data center.
