Accelerating Data Centers with 200G InfiniBand Smart Switches

Faster servers 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, HPC, AI, and hyperscale cloud environments will need every last bit of network bandwidth. NVIDIA Quantum QM8700 and QM8790 200 gigabits per second (Gb/s) InfiniBand fixed-configuration switches provide up to forty 200Gb/s ports with 16 terabits per second (Tb/s) of non-blocking bandwidth or eighty 100Gb/s ports with full bidirectional bandwidth per port with extremely low latency—an ideal choice for building flexible and scalable data centers at any size.

The QM8700 and QM8790 fixed-configuration switches are designed to enable NVIDIA In-Network Computing offload engines through NVIDIA Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol (SHARP)™ technology. Using in-switch silicon-embedded hardware, the switch architecture enables the usage of all active data center devices to accelerate the communications frameworks, resulting in order-of-magnitude performance improvements.
