BladeSystem c-Class is a popular server infrastructure platform from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). The 648312-B21 HPE 4X FDR InfiniBand Switch is specifically designed to be compatible with BladeSystem c-Class.
The switch can be installed into the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure and seamlessly integrated with other components such as servers, storage devices, and interconnect modules. It provides high-speed connectivity between the blade servers and other devices within the enclosure.
In addition, the switch is compatible with other HPE technologies such as Virtual Connect, which allows for simplified management of network resources and increased flexibility in deployment and scaling of infrastructure. The compatibility with BladeSystem c-Class ensures that the switch can be easily deployed and integrated into existing HPE server environments.
Optical Fiber ConnectivityThe 648312-B21 HPE 4X FDR InfiniBand Switch for BladeSystem c-Class features optical fiber connectivity, which allows for high-speed data transfer over longer distances with lower latency and interference.
The switch has 18 expansion slots that support Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) transceivers, which can be used to connect to optical fiber cables. The QSFP transceivers support FDR (Fourteen Data Rate) InfiniBand, which provides up to 56 Gbps (Gigabits per second) data transfer rates.
Optical fiber connectivity also provides a more secure and reliable data transmission method as it is less susceptible to electromagnetic interference, signal loss, and eavesdropping compared to traditional copper cables. This makes the switch ideal for high-performance computing applications that require fast and secure data transfer over long distances, such as in scientific research, financial services, and cloud computing environments.
Expansion Slots and QSFP TechnologyThe 648312-B21 HPE 4X FDR InfiniBand Switch for BladeSystem c-Class has 18 expansion slots that support Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) transceivers. QSFP technology allows for high-speed data transfer and supports FDR (Fourteen Data Rate) InfiniBand, which provides up to 56 Gbps (Gigabits per second) data transfer rates.
The QSFP transceivers can be used to connect to optical fiber cables or copper cables using appropriate cables and connectors. Each QSFP port supports 4x FDR InfiniBand, which means that it can transmit and receive data at up to 56 Gbps. The 18 expansion slots allow for multiple QSFP transceivers to be connected, providing flexibility in the deployment of the switch.
In addition to InfiniBand, the switch also supports Ethernet protocols such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 40 Gigabit Ethernet using QSFP+ transceivers. The switch can auto-negotiate between InfiniBand and Ethernet modes and supports a variety of network topologies including point-to-point, switched fabric, and hybrid topologies. The expansion slots and QSFP technology of the switch provide high-speed connectivity and flexibility in network deployment.
