Product Description
The HP 505958-B21 is a high-performance InfiniBand switch module specifically engineered for integration into HP BladeSystem c-Class chassis. It provides four external InfiniBand ports, each operating at QDR (Quad Data Rate) speed, which translates to a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 40 Gbps per lane. This module is purpose-built for environments that demand extremely high throughput and minimal latency, making it ideal for demanding applications like High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters, large-scale data analytics, and other tightly coupled server environments. By leveraging QLogic's InfiniBand technology, this switch module ensures robust and reliable high-speed interconnectivity between blade servers within the chassis and potentially to external InfiniBand fabric. The 4x QDR interface offers significant bandwidth advantages over traditional Ethernet, crucial for applications where inter-process communication and data sharing are performance bottlenecks. Its integration within the BladeSystem simplifies the deployment of high-performance computing solutions by consolidating networking components within the chassis. The 505958-B21 module is a key enabler for organizations looking to build or expand their HPC capabilities or any environment requiring ultra-fast data transfer. It allows blade servers to communicate with each other and with high-speed storage systems at speeds that are essential for complex computations and large dataset processing, thereby accelerating research, development, and critical business insights.
