NVIDIA spectrum SN2000 Series Switches

Open networking switches

The NVIDIA Spectrum SN2000 series switches are the 2nd generation of NVIDIA switches, purpose-built for leaf/spine/super-spine datacenter applications. Allowing maximum flexibility, SN2000 series provides port speeds spanning from 1 to 100GbE, with a port density that enables full rack connectivity to any server at 1/20/25/40/50/100GbE speeds. In addition, the uplink ports allow a variety of blocking ratios to suit any application requirement.

The SN2000 series is ideal for building wire-speed and cloud-scale layer-2 and layer-3 networks. The SN2000 platforms deliver high performance, consistent low latency along with support for advanced software defined networking features, making it the ideal choice for web scale IT, cloud, hyper converged storage and data analytics applications.

Network Disaggregation: Open Ethernet

Open Ethernet breaks the paradigm of traditional switch systems, eliminating vendor lock-in. Open Ethernet offers customers the flexibility and freedom to use a choice of operating systems on top of Ethernet switches, thereby re-gaining control of the network, and optimizing utilization, efficiency and overall return on investment.

Encouraging an ecosystem of open source, standard network solutions, Open Ethernet allows IT managers and data center planners the option to make independent selections with regard to their switching equipment. They can "mix and match" offerings from different equipment vendors to achieve optimal configuration and have better control of capital and operational expenditures.

With a range of system form factors, and a rich software ecosystem, SN2000 series allows you to pick and choose the right components for your data center.

SN2000 Platforms

SN2000 series platforms are powered by the Spectrum ASIC and available in 4 configurations. Each delivers high performance combined with feature-rich layer 2 and layer 3 forwarding-ideal for both top-of-rack leaf and fixed configuration spines. Superior hardware capabilities including dynamic flexible shared buffers and predictable wire speed performance with no packet loss for any packet size. While the SN2000 Ethernet switch series is aimed for the 25/50/100GbE market, NVIDIA offers similar systems for the 10/40GbE market: SN2000B switches are priced comfortably for the 10/40 GbE market and provide the superior feature set of NVIDIA Spectrum. The SN2000 series are standards compliant and fully interoperable with third party systems.

SN2700

The SN2700 carries a huge throughput of 3.2Tb/s, 32 ports at 100GbE, with a landmark 4.76Bpps processing capacity in a compact 1RU form factor. With port speeds spanning from 1 to 100GbE per port and a wide choice of QSFP transceivers and cables support. NVIDIA SN2700 supports flat latency of 300ns in cut-through mode, and a shared 16MB packet buffer pool that is allocated dynamically to ports that are congested.

SN2410

The SN2410 has 8 ports running at 100GbE (can be split to 16 ports running 50GbE) and 48 ports running at 25GbE, carrying a throughput of 2Tb/s with a 2.97Bpps processing capacity in a compact 1RU form factor. The SN2410 switch is an ideal top-of-rack (ToR) solution, allowing maximum flexibility, with port speeds spanning from 10GbE to 100GbE per port. Its optimized port configuration enables highspeed rack connectivity to any server at 10 or 25GbE speeds. The 100GbE uplink ports allow a variety of blocking ratios that suit any application requirement.
