Sun Datacenter Switch 3456

The Path to Massive Scale High Performance Computing
Introducing the world's largest InfiniBand core switch. With the capacity for 3456 server nodes, Oracle's Sun Datacenter Switch 3456 reduces the cost, power, and footprint of deploying very large scale HPC fabrics by eliminating hundreds of discrete switches and thousands of cables. In short, it's more teraflops per dollar with less power consumption than any other switch.

Key Applications

Clustered database
InfiniBand grid architectures
High performance compute clusters
Storage solutions
MPI

	AT A GLANCE
	Ideally suited for the Sun Blade 6048 modular system to deliver an open PetaScale architecture Highly scalable supporting up to four Sun Datacenter Switches and up to 13,824 server nodes Replaces 300 discrete InfiniBand switches and thousands of cables with a single core switch A 3:1 reduction of physical ports and cables for server connectivity Open: Solaris, Linux, Open-MPI, Open-Fabrics stack
