Converged Fabrics

Inter-processor communication (IPC), application data, or transfers to or from storage easily flow through an IS5000 fabric. Granular QoS and guaranteed bandwidth allocation can be applied per traffic type. This ensures that each type of traffic has the resources needed to ensure the highest application performance.

Sustained Network Performance

The IS5000 switch family enables efficient computing with features such as static routing, adaptive routing, and advanced congestion management. These features ensure the maximum effective fabric bandwidth by eliminating congestion hot spots. Whether used for parallel computation or as a converged fabric, IS5000 family has the industry’s best traffic-carrying capacity.

World-Class Design

The IS5000 family of switches is designed for performance, serviceability, energy savings and high-availability. The IS50XX switches are optimized for fitting into industry-standard racks and for scale-out computing solutions from industry leaders. For greater scale-out requirements, the IS5X00 chassis switches are the ideal choice. Common modules are used across the entire IS5X00 Director class switches, such as leafs, spines, management modules, power supplies and fans, which provides ultimate value and ease of use.
