98Y3756 IBM Mellanox IS5030 36-Ports 40Gb/s InfiniBand Network Switch

IBM Mellanox IS5030 98Y3756

Power your cluster with the IBM 98Y3756, an InfiniBand switch built for tightly coupled server clusters and high-throughput storage back-ends.

It provides 36 ports for connecting compute nodes, storage servers and other switches. Its high-performance fabric helps scale clusters efficiently while keeping communication overhead low. Plan where your subnet manager will run, on a capable switch or a host, when designing the fabric. Efficient interconnects let parallel applications use more nodes effectively. Use suitable copper or optical cables depending on rack-to-rack distances. This IBM model is equally suited to building a new cluster or expanding an existing fabric.

Ordering by part number 98Y3756 helps you match the configuration, region and feature set exactly. Combine edge and spine switches to build fat-tree or other scalable topologies. Simulation, analytics and AI training all benefit from low-latency interconnects. RDMA lets InfiniBand move data between servers with very little CPU overhead. Using the same switch model across the cluster simplifies spares and management. The IBM Mellanox IS5030 is a smart investment for anyone who needs InfiniBand connectivity.
