Description
The NVIDIA Mellanox MQM8700-HS2R is a 40-port, non-blocking, managed HDR 200Gb/s InfiniBand smart switch in a 1U chassis. Built on the Mellanox Quantum switch device, it delivers up to 16Tb/s of aggregate throughput with sub-130ns port-to-port latency. It suits top-of-rack leaf connectivity and clusters of any size. With splitter cables and ConnectX-6 adapters, it can run up to 80 ports of HDR100 100Gb/s.
The switch supports in-network computing through SHARP (Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol), which accelerates collective operations used in MPI and machine learning workloads. Adaptive routing, congestion control, and VL mapping support modern topologies such as SlimFly, Dragonfly+, and 6DT. An onboard x86 CPU runs MLNX-OS and a built-in subnet manager for fabrics of up to 2K nodes. Management is available through CLI, WebUI, SNMP, and JSON. This model ships with two hot-swappable AC power supplies, hot-swappable fans, C2P (connector-side inlet) airflow, and a rail kit.
