A 16 ports configuration refers to a network switch that has 16 physical ports for connecting devices. These ports can be used to connect servers, storage systems, and other network devices to create a high-speed network.
In the case of the 505958-B21 HPE Switch Module, the 16 ports are configured for QDR Infiniband connectivity, providing 40 Gbps of bandwidth per port. This high-speed connectivity enables fast and efficient data transfer between connected devices, making the switch ideal for demanding data center and high-performance computing environments.
Additionally, the 16 ports configuration allows for multiple devices to be connected to the switch, increasing the overall capacity of the network and supporting scalable and flexible network designs. The switch can be used in a variety of topologies, including point-to-point, multi-path, and switch-based, which further enhances its scalability and versatility.
Scalable Infiniband ConnectivityScalable Infiniband connectivity refers to the ability of Infiniband technology to support and grow with the increasing demands of data center and high-performance computing environments. Some of the key characteristics of scalable Infiniband connectivity include:
- Large Node Counts: Infiniband technology supports large node counts, which makes it ideal for large-scale data center and HPC deployments.
- Scalable Topologies: Infiniband technology supports a variety of topologies, including point-to-point, multi-path, and switch-based, which enables flexible and scalable network designs.
- Dynamic Reconfiguration: Infiniband technology supports dynamic reconfiguration, which allows for changes to be made to the network configuration without disrupting existing connections.
- Load Balancing: Infiniband technology includes load balancing features, which help to distribute network traffic evenly across available paths, ensuring optimal performance.
- High Availability: Infiniband technology supports high availability features, such as failover and redundancy, which help to ensure continuous network availability even in the event of a failure.
