Manufacturer Part #: MCS8500-WL
Nvidia Mellanox CS8500 InfiniBand Smart Modular Switch System - 320 Tb/s, 800-port HDR InfiniBand chassis - Includes 9 power supplies (N+1) with support for up to 16 power supply units (N+N) - Includes hose to connect AHX (liquid-to-air heat exchanger sold separately)
The Mellanox CS8500 switch system provides high performing fabric solution by delivering high bandwidth and low latency to enterprise data centers (EDC), high-performance computing (HPC) and embedded environments. Built using Mellanox Quantum technology, the CS8500 system is equipped with 800 ports with up to 200Gb/s full bidirectional bandwidth per port, all while maintaining a compact form factor of a standard 29U rack.
The system's quad-core x86 CPU comes with an on-board Subnet Manager, enabling simple out-of-the-box fabric bring-up for up to 2048 nodes. When used in conjunction with Mellanox ConnectX-6 adapter cards, this Mellanox Quantum based switch system can achieve up to 1600 ports of HDR100 100Gb/s by utilizing two pairs of two SerDes lanes per port, making it the highest density chassis switch system available on the market.
The CS8500 runs the same MLNX-OS software package that is running on Mellanox InfiniBand FDR and EDR products to deliver a complete and familiar chassis management of the firmware, power supplies, fans and ports, and ensure interoperability with the previous generation of systems. Mellanox switch systems can also be coupled with Mellanox Unified Fabric Manager (UFM) software for managing scale-out InfiniBand computing environments. The UFM software enables data center operators to efficiently provision, monitor and operate the modern data center fabric. It can also boost application performance and ensures the fabric is up and running at all times.
This switch system uses liquid cooling methods with a 4U tall in-rack Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) isolating the internal water loop cooling the components from the water loop connected to the data center facilities. Customers without water cooling facilities can opt for a Water-to-Air Heat exchanger (AHX) which is purchased separately.
