Mellanox TechnologiesMSX1410-BB2F2 - Switch-x-2 Based 10GBE/40GBE 1u Open Ethernet with MLNX-OS 48 SFP+

With industry leading density power efficiency and low latency the SX1410 is the first non-blocking top of rack SDN switch providing unmatched performance advantage while lowering capital and operational expenditures.

The SX1410 is the optimal top of rack switch with 48 port of 10GbE and 12 uplink ports of 40/56GbE for non-blocking throughput between rack and aggregation layer. Based on Mellanox's SwitchX®-2 silicon and advanced hardware design this switch packs 48 SFP+ and 12 QSFP interfaces in an ultra-dense 1U form factor. The SX1410 features industry leading latency and power efficiency while providing optimal performance for enterprise data center financial services Web 2.0 high perfor-mance computing and cloud computing applica-tions.

SwitchX-2 carries a unique design that enables users with a straight forward platform for imple- mentation of a Software Defined Network allowing the construction of a high scale network with advanced fine tuning control plane capabilities The SX1410 support the Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) technology which enables it to be used for both Ethernet and InfiniBand technology providing the user with flexibility and investment protection. The SX1410 provides a full suite of management options including support for Mellanox's NEOTM SNMP V123 and web user interfaces. In addition the SX1410 incorporates a familiar industry-stan-dard CLI which enables administrators to easily configure the switch.

To ensure long term applicability the SX1410 is provisioned to enhance its current capabilities with additional L2 and L3 features through software upgrades.

World-Class Design

The SX1410 is an elegant top-of-rack design that is architected for performance serviceability energy savings and high-availability. SX1410 comes with 12 QSFP and can be further broken to allow a higher number of 10GbE ports on the expense of 40GbE ports up to as much as 64 10GbE ports on a single switch. The compact 1RU design and optimal port count of 48 SFP+ and 12 QSFP ports provide the perfect solution for a high density server packed rack without the need to compromise for blocking ratio on the uplink ports. Both standard and reverse airflow schemes are supported to ensure compatibility with different data center thermal designs. Redundant power supplies and fans provide high availability for both Enterprise Data Center and High Performance Computing envi- ronments. Status LEDs for fans and power supply units are placed on the front side of the system for easy status identification. Common accessories such as rack mount kit AC power and RJ45 console cables are included with a quick-start guide as part of the standard system to ensure fast installation and a positive out-of-the-box experience.

The SX1410 switch carries a high capacity dual core x86 processor. This allows the switch to func- tion in environments demanding high performance and multiple functions from the CPU without jeop- ardizing other switch attri¬butes and/or degrading user experience.
