SUN 7052969 Datacenter Infiniband Switch 36x QSFP+ 40Gb

The Sun / Oracle Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 is a high-performance, high-density 1U rackmount InfiniBand switch designed for low-latency, high-throughput environments such as high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, enterprise data centers, cloud infrastructure, and scale-out storage networks. Featuring 36 QSFP ports that support InfiniBand SDR, DDR, and QDR speeds up to 40 Gbps per port, it delivers an aggregate bidirectional switching capacity of approximately 2.3 Tbps, backed by a non-blocking crossbar fabric that ensures consistent low-latency transmission—typically around 100 nanoseconds port-to-port. Designed for modern parallel workloads, the switch supports an MTU of 4096 bytes, 8 virtual lanes for data, and 1 for management, enabling traffic segmentation, quality of service (QoS), and multi-tenant or multi-cluster isolation within a single physical fabric. The Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 includes an embedded subnet manager (SM) for automatic InfiniBand fabric discovery and routing, and supports secure remote management via IPMI, SNMP, SSH, HTTP/HTTPS, and syslog. For resilience and high availability, it features dual hot-swappable 760W AC power supplies, redundant fan modules, and dual 10/100 Ethernet out-of-band management ports. Measuring 44.5 mm (1U) in height, 445 mm in width, and 609.6 mm in depth, and weighing approximately 11.4 kg, it fits easily into standard data center racks. It supports both passive copper and active optical QSFP cables, making it flexible for deployment in spine-leaf, fat-tree, mesh, or ring topologies. With features like hitless management failover, logical fabric partitioning, and support for legacy devices, this switch is ideal for compute-intensive tasks such as AI/ML workloads, scientific simulations, big data analytics, and distributed file systems like Lustre or BeeGFS. The Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 is a robust, future-ready fabric solution that ensures ultra-fast data movement, efficient scalability, and operational stability in even the most demanding IT environments. This device is an excellent choice for:

• Branch and Remote Office Deployments: The EX2200-48P-4G offers enterprise-level connectivity in a compact form factor, making it an ideal solution for remote branches that need PoE for IP phones, APs, and cameras — without the complexity of large-scale chassis switches.
• VoIP and Unified Communications Environments: With 48 PoE ports, this switch is purpose-built to power a complete IP telephony setup. It ensures consistent delivery of voice traffic with low latency and supports voice VLANs out-of-the-box.
• Education and Campus Networks: Easily deploy in school buildings, labs, or lecture halls where high device density and seamless PoE delivery for wireless APs and security devices are essential — all managed under Junos OS for consistency across districts.
• Video Surveillance Infrastructure: Supports full deployment of IP cameras using PoE with sufficient power budget, while Layer 2 security features like DHCP snooping and port security help protect against spoofing and rogue devices.
• Industrial and Utility Closet Environments: With front-to-back airflow and rack-mountable 1U design, it's ideal for telecom closets or industrial enclosures where clean cooling and reliable uptime are critical.
• Cost-Conscious SMB Networks: Offers enterprise features at an SMB-friendly price point — great for small businesses looking to upgrade their wired and wireless infrastructure without overpaying for unused features.
• Access Layer for Larger Enterprise Networks: Functions as a scalable access switch with Virtual Chassis support, allowing multiple units to operate as one — simplifying management and reducing operational overhead.
