Intel Qlogic 12300 True Scale Fabric Edge Switch 36-Port QDR InfiniBand 2x PSU

About this deal

The Intel QLogic 12300 True Scale Fabric Edge Switch is a 36-port, 40 Gbps InfiniBand switch designed to cost-effectively link workgroup resources into a cluster or serve as an edge switch within a larger fabric. Built on QLogic TrueScale ASIC technology, it is aimed squarely at high performance computing (HPC) environments. It complies with the InfiniBand Trade Association (IBTA) v1.2 standard. Unlike the fixed-configuration 12200, the 12300 is a modular switch that can be managed internally or externally. It provides 36 QDR ports in a standard 1U form factor with an onboard management processor supporting chassis management and an embedded InfiniBand Subnet Manager, and its highly available design comes with redundant hot-swap power and cooling modules. The switch delivers scalable, predictable low latency even at 90% traffic load, meaning HPC workloads can scale without costly tuning. Comprehensive virtual fabric partitioning is also supported, allowing the InfiniBand fabric to adapt to the evolving needs of an organisation. This listing includes dual power supply units for added redundancy.
