Mellanox CS7520 216-Port EDR 100Gb/s InfiniBand Director Switch - Part ID: MCS7520

Faster servers based on PCIe 3.0, combined with high-performance storage and applications that use increasingly complex computations, are causing data bandwidth requirements to spiral upward. As servers are deployed with next generation processors, High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments and Enterprise Data Centers (EDC) will need every last bit of bandwidth delivered with Mellanox’s next generation of EDR InfiniBand high-speed smart switches.

Built with Mellanox’s latest Switch-IB™ InfiniBand switch devices, the CS7520 provides up to 216 100Gb/s full bi-directional bandwidth per port. The CS7520 modular chassis switch provide an excellent price-performance ratio for medium to extremely large size clusters, along with the reliability and manageability expected from a director-class switch.

The CS7520 is the world’s first smart network switch, designed to enable in-network computing through the Co-Design Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation Protocol (SHArP) technology. The Co-Design architecture enables the usage of all active data center devices to accelerate the communications frameworks, resulting in order of magnitude applications performance improvements.
