Brand: Mellanox · SKU: SX6036 · MPN: SX6036 · Category: Networking
The Mellanox SX6000 family of top-of-the-rack InfiniBand switches delivers high performance, low latency, port density and complete fabric management solutions, designed to enable compute clusters and converged data centers to operate at any scale while reducing operational costs and infrastructure complexity. The SX6036 provides 36 QSFP ports capable of 56Gb/s link speed (FDR), resulting in an aggregate switching capacity of up to 4.032Tb/s (or 4Tb/s) non-blocking bandwidth. It supports InfiniBand and VPI (Virtual Protocol Interconnect) environments, allowing for converged traffic with assured bandwidth and granular Quality of Service (QoS). Key features include adaptive routing, congestion management, up to 648 node support via the onboard subnet manager, and optional redundant power supplies and fan units. It is a 1U rack-mountable chassis. It supports MLNX-OS software and can be managed with Mellanox Unified Fabric Manager (UFM) software. Port-to-port latency is quoted as 170ns or
