HP 519134-001N 4X QDR InfiniBand 40Gb/s Switch Module for C-Class BladeSystem

Product Description

The HP 519134-001N is a high-performance switch module specifically engineered for the HP C-Class BladeSystem, leveraging the InfiniBand architecture. It provides a 4X QDR InfiniBand interface, delivering an impressive data transfer rate of 40Gb/s. This module is crucial for environments that demand extremely high bandwidth and very low latency, such as high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, large-scale data analytics platforms, and financial modeling applications. The 4X designation refers to the number of lanes used for data transmission, and QDR (Quad Data Rate) signifies the signaling speed, collectively enabling the 40Gb/s throughput. InfiniBand is known for its efficiency in handling parallel processing and inter-node communication, making it ideal for tightly coupled compute environments where fast and reliable data exchange between servers is paramount. By integrating this module into the C-Class BladeSystem, organizations can create powerful, consolidated computing resources. It facilitates high-speed communication between blades, as well as between blades and external storage or network fabrics, significantly accelerating application performance and enabling the processing of massive datasets. The 519134-001N is a key enabler for cutting-edge computational tasks.
