Mellanox InfiniScale™ III 24-port 4X (or 8-port 12X) InfiniBand Switch supporting up to 60Gb/s per port

Overview

The InfiniScale III is Mellanox’s third generation InfiniBand switch silicon device used to create reliable, scalable, and easy to manage interconnect fabrics for compute, communication, storage, and embedded applications. The device supports twenty-four 4X ports or eight 12X InfiniBand ports or a combination of both port types.

The single data rate (SDR) version of the InfiniScale III supports 10Gb/s per 4X port and 30Gb/s per 12X port delivering 480Gb/s of aggregate bandwidth. The double data rate (DDR) version of the InfiniScale III supports 20Gb/s per 4X port and 60Gb/s per 12X port delivering 960Gb/s of aggregate bandwidth.
