Mellanox Nvidia SN 2700 Spectrum 100GbE 1U Open Ethernet Switch

NVIDIA Spectrum SN2000 series switches are the second generation of NVIDIA switches, designed to handle leaf/spine/super-spine datacenter applications. SN2700 offers 3.2Tb/s throughput, 32 100GbE ports, and a 4.76Bpps processing capacity within a compact 1RU form factor. This module supports speeds ranging from 1GbE to 100GbE per port and a variety of QSFP transceivers. It features a flat latency of 300ns in cut-through mode and a dynamically allocated 16MB packet buffer pool on congested ports.

KEY FEATURES

• 32 * 40/56/100GbE ports in 1RU
• Multi-chassis LAG for active/active L2 multipathing
• 1+1 hot-swappable power supplies and four N+1 hot-swap fans
• Color-coded PSUs and fans
• Link aggregation groups support up to 64 10/25/40/50/100GbE ports
• Routing with 64-way ECMP for load balancing and redundancy
• Flat latency across L2 and L3 forwarding
• Integration of Software Defined Networking (SDN) 
• ONIE server runs Mellanox Onyx, Cumulus Linux, and alternative operating systems

TECHNICAL FEATURES 

An SN2700 switch is an ideal spine and top-of-rack (ToR) switch, allowing maximum flexibility, providing fast port speeds to 100Gb/s for each port, as well as port density for full rack connectivity. There are a variety of blocking ratios available for the uplink ports to meet the needs of any application.

SN2700 switches are ONIE (Open Network Install Environment)-based devices that support a variety of operating systems while utilizing Open Ethernet and Mellanox Spectrum ASIC capabilities.

SN2700 operates in three modes:

•  Includes Mellanox Onyx (successor to MLNX-OS Ethernet), a home-grown operating system that uses industry-standard CLIs and common networking user interfaces.
• Integrated with Cumulus Linux, a revolutionary operating system for large-scale applications providing Linux user experience on switches and servers.
• ONIE image ready to install with the aforementioned or another ONIE-based OS.

SN2700 provides 10GbE through 100GbE interconnectivity within the data center as part of Mellanox's complete end-to-end solution. This solution also includes ConnectX network interface cards and LinkX copper or fiber cables. Mellanox NEO, a management application, completes this end-to-end solution. This application alleviates many of the challenges associated with deploying a network. Through NEO, fully certified and interoperable designs can be developed faster, resulting in a faster return on investment.

SN2700 offers superior hardware features including dynamic flexible shared buffers and predictable wire speed performance without packet loss. SN2700 is powered by Spectrum, which provides thrust and acceleration, but its powerful x86-based processor gives it yet another angle of capabilities.

 The system can be used as a switch fabric element that is not only the most powerful but also can be used as a Linux server. As a result, this creates a powerful machine with unique appliance capabilities that enhance numerous network implementation paradigms by harnessing CPU processing power and switching fabrics. Mellanox offers the SN2700B series for the 40/10GbE market, while SN2700 is aimed at 100/50/25GbE. SN2000B switches provide NVIDIA Spectrum's superior feature set at a price that makes them appropriate for 10/40 GbE markets. In addition to being standards-compliant, the SN2000 series is fully interoperable with third-party systems.

OTHER INTERFACES

NETWORK DISAGGREGATION 

Traditional switch systems are broken down by Open Ethernet, reducing vendor lock-in. Through Open Ethernet, customers are able to utilize any operating system on top of Ethernet switches, regaining total control over the network, and maximizing efficiency, utilization, and return on investment. By fostering an open-source, standard network ecosystem, Open Ethernet allows IT managers and data center planners to select switching equipment independently. To achieve optimal configuration and control capital and operational costs, they can mix and match equipment offerings from different vendors. In the SN2000 series, you can pick and choose the right components for your data center from a range of system form factors.

NETWORK & MANAGEMENT

COMPROMISE CLOUD ARCHITECTURE

Groundbreaking performance

Switch performance is greatly impacted by packet buffer architecture. With its monolithic packet buffer, Spectrum is able to support cut-through line rate traffic from all ports, without compromising scale or features. The fast packet buffer in Spectrum offers mission-critical applications a fair and bottleneck-free data path.

Pervasive Visibility :

Network operators can reduce mean time to recovery or innocence by proactively managing issues with Spectrum's deep and contextual network visibility. The WJH platform provides granular and event-triggered information on infrastructure issues based on the underlying silicon and software. Also, third-party software tools and workflow engines can integrate with Spectrum's open APIs to access the extensive telemetry.

Unprecedented Agility

It is essential that both the computing and networking building blocks of a modern data center infrastructure are software-defined and agile. Spectrum provides data center network virtualization features without compromising performance or scale thanks to its unique feature-rich and efficient packet processing pipeline. It has a programmable pipeline and a deep packet parser/editor that can handle payloads up to 512B in size. And also supports single-pass VXLAN routing as well as bridging.

Massive Scale

Data centers are experiencing exponential growth in the number of endpoints. Modern data centers and mega-clouds require large forwarding tables as they move toward container-based architectures from virtual machine-based architectures. With Spectrum, it unprecedented forwarding table, counter, and policy scale, as well as intelligent algorithms, efficient resource sharing, and scalability.

End-to-End 100 GbE Solution

NVIDIA's SN2000 provides 10 to 100GbE interconnectivity within the data center as part of its complete end-to-end solutions. This solution also includes ConnectX network interface cards and LinkXcopper or fiber cabling.
