Product Description
The HP 505958R-B21 is a 4x QDR InfiniBand switch module, representing a high-performance interconnect solution. InfiniBand is a specialized networking technology designed for high-throughput and low-latency communication, making it particularly well-suited for demanding applications such as high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, storage area networks (SANs), and high-frequency trading platforms. The '4x QDR' designation refers to the speed and number of lanes. QDR (Quad Data Rate) provides a data transfer rate of approximately 32 Gbps per lane. With four lanes (4x), this module can achieve a theoretical aggregate bandwidth of around 128 Gbps (4 lanes * 32 Gbps/lane). This level of performance is crucial for applications where rapid data exchange between nodes is critical for overall system efficiency. As a switch module, the 505958R-B21 is designed to be integrated into a larger chassis or switch system, providing multiple InfiniBand ports to connect servers, storage arrays, and other InfiniBand-enabled devices. Its primary purpose is to facilitate high-speed, efficient, and low-latency communication within clusters and storage fabrics, enabling faster processing and data access.
