Cost-Effective, Fast Data Center Connectivity
Switch: The SX1016
The SX1016 is an economical, high-performance 64-port 10GbE switch providing 1.28Tb/s of line rate performance. Based on Mellanox's SwitchX™ silicon and innovative hardware design, the switch packs 64 SFP+ interfaces in an ultra-dense 1U form factor. The SX1016 features industry leading latency of 250ns and power of less than 1.8W per port, providing optimal performance and efficiency for enterprise data center, financial services, Web 2.0, high performance computing and cloud computing applications. To ensure long term applicability, the SX1016 supports the latest data center features like Data Center Bridging and has provisions to enable additional L3 features through software upgrades.
The SX1016 is an elegant top-of-rack design that is architected for performance, serviceability and energy savings. The compact 1U design and large SFP+ port count maximizes server density in industry-standard racks and scale-out computing solutions using standard interfaces. Both forward and reverse airflow schemes are supported to ensure compatibility with different data center thermal designs. Status LEDs for fans and for each port are nicely placed on the front panel of the system for easy status identification. Common accessories such as rack mount kit, AC power and RJ45 console cables are included with a quick-start guide as part of the standard system to ensure fast installation and a positive out-of-the-box experience.
The SX1016 switch is interoperable with components supporting the Ethernet industry standards. The switch becomes an integral part of an optimized end-to-end networking solution when combined with other Mellanox Ethernet products, including the ConnectX® family of 10GbE NICs, acceleration and management software and cables. These solutions deliver industry-leading performance, scalability, reliability and power usage for optimal data center efficiency and application performance across a wide range of industry applications in financial services, Web 2.0, database, cloud and high performance computing environments.
