Description
The NVIDIA Mellanox Spectrum-2 MSN3700-CS2FC is a high-performance 100GbE Open Ethernet switch designed for modern data centers, cloud, and high-performance computing environments. Built on the Mellanox Spectrum-2 ASIC, it delivers 6.4 Tbps throughput and 4.76 billion packets per second in a compact 1U form factor.
With 32 QSFP28 ports, the switch supports port speeds from 1GbE to 100GbE, allowing full rack connectivity and flexible deployment as a leaf or spine switch. It runs Cumulus Linux, empowering operators with an open, automated, and programmable networking platform.
The MSN3700-CS2FC features dual hot-swappable AC power supplies, N+1 redundant fans, and front-to-back (P2C) airflow, ensuring high availability and efficient cooling. It supports advanced Layer 2/3 forwarding, VXLAN routing, RoCE, and network telemetry for visibility and optimization.
Ideal for Open Ethernet environments, the switch provides a scalable, disaggregated approach to data center networking—delivering flexibility, reliability, and total control without vendor lock-in.
