Mellanox MSN2700-CS2RO SN2700 32x Ports 1000GBase-X C2P Airflow Switch

Product Description

The Mellanox SN2700 (MSN2700-CS2RO) is a cutting-edge 100 Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to meet the demanding bandwidth and low-latency requirements of today's hyperscale data centers, cloud environments, and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. This 1U rackmount switch provides 32 high-density QSFP28 ports, each capable of operating at speeds up to 100 Gb/s. This enables massive east-west traffic aggregation and efficient connectivity for compute and storage resources. With a total switching capacity of up to 6.4 Terabits per second (Tb/s) and a forwarding rate of up to 4.76 Billion packets per second (Bpps), the SN2700 is engineered to handle the most intensive network workloads without congestion. It supports advanced features such as RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet), NVGRE, VXLAN, and other network virtualization technologies, making it ideal for building scalable and flexible network infrastructures. The switch's architecture is optimized for low latency, which is critical for applications like AI/ML training, financial trading, and large-scale data analytics. The C2P (Controller-to-Port) airflow design, also known as front-to-back cooling, is crucial for maintaining optimal operating temperatures in dense rack deployments. This airflow configuration ensures that heat generated by the ports and internal components is efficiently expelled towards the back of the rack, preventing thermal throttling and ensuring sustained performance. The MSN2700-CS2RO is a powerful solution for organizations looking to build a high-performance, scalable, and efficient network fabric.
