545775-002 HP BLC BL8155-14 C-Class ServerNET Infiniband Module Network Switch

HP BLC BL8155-14 C-Class ServerNET 545775-002

The HP BLC BL8155-14 C-Class ServerNET (545775-002) is an InfiniBand switch designed for scientific computing, simulation and parallel storage environments.

InfiniBand fabrics use hardware offloads and low-latency switching to speed up MPI, parallel file systems and distributed applications. Efficient interconnects let parallel applications use more nodes effectively. Plan where your subnet manager will run, on a capable switch or a host, when designing the fabric. It works for new deployments as well as fabric expansion. Short copper or longer optical cables connect nodes depending on distance.

Scalable topologies such as fat-tree are built from switches like this. Confirm it matches your blade enclosure and the I/O bay you plan to use. Integrated blade switching shortens the path between servers and keeps rack cabling manageable. Standardized switch models make cluster cabling and maintenance easier. Switching inside the enclosure cuts cable count and simplifies server provisioning. InfiniBand uses remote direct memory access (RDMA) to move data between servers with minimal CPU involvement. The HP BLC BL8155-14 C-Class ServerNET is a smart investment for anyone who needs InfiniBand connectivity.
