World’s most scalable, agile and flexible
100/200/400GbE 12.8 Tbps switch enables a new generation of
efficient data centers
Mellanox® Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX), a leading supplier
of high-performance, end-to-end interconnect solutions for data
center servers and storage systems, today announced that customer
shipments of SN4000 Ethernet switches have commenced. The SN4000
family is powered by Mellanox Spectrum®-3 - the world’s best
performing, most scalable, and most flexible 12.8 Tbps Ethernet
switch ASIC, which is optimized for Cloud, Ethernet Storage Fabric,
and AI interconnect applications. SN4000 platforms come in flexible
form-factors supporting a combination of up to 32 ports of 400GbE,
64 ports of 200GbE and 128 ports of 100/50/25/10GbE. The SN4000
platforms complement the 200/400GbE SN3000 leaf switches to form an
efficient and high bandwidth leaf/spine network.
Spectrum-3 supports unprecedented scale, tunneling, and network
virtualization capabilities with its advanced FlexFlow™ packet
processing technology and WJH™ (What Just Happened) based real-time
telemetry. Spectrum-3 is ideal for building massive, high
performance layer-2 and layer-3 fabrics, for both virtualized and
non-virtualized use cases.
Key Highlights
- Up to 128 ports of 100GbE, 64 ports of 200GbE or 32 ports of
400GbE
- Up to 200,000 NAT entries, and 1 Million on-chip routes
- Fully shared packet buffer to maximize burst absorption and
deliver fair bandwidth sharing
- RoCE-Ready one-click configuration with hardware-accelerated,
end-to-end congestion management to simplify networking for
storage, AI, and big data workloads
- FlexFlow™ programmable pipeline which delivers rich network
processing capabilities at an unprecedented scale
- WJH™ based granular telemetry to simplify network operations
and dramatically reduce mean time to issue resolution
- Simultaneous NRZ and PAM4 port speeds allowing flexible
configurations
- Dual stack IPV4 and IPV6 protocol operation
- Support for overlay protocols including EVPN, VXLAN-GPE,
MPLS-over-GRE/UDP, NSH, NVGRE, MPLS/IPv6 based Segment routing and
more
- Flowlet-based adaptive routing maximizes performance and
network utilization for layer-3 fabrics with high cross-sectional
bandwidth
- Support for customer-defined, on-switch, containerized
microservices with complete SDK access to host management,
orchestration, and telemetry applications.
“Spectrum-3 offers better performance, more advanced features,
and easier management than any other 12.8 terabit switch,” said
Amit Katz, vice president of Ethernet switches at Mellanox. “Our
VXLAN support features single-pass routing for more than 500,000
tunnels, making Spectrum-3 the best switch not only for cloud data
centers, but for any networking deployment supporting
virtualization, containers, or microservices.”
“Over the last several years, with the Spectrum and Spectrum-2
product lines, Mellanox has steadily grown its market share in the
100GbE top-of-rack Ethernet switch segment,” said Seamus Crehan,
president of Crehan Research. “As of the most recent reported
quarter, Mellanox moved up to the fourth overall position worldwide
in this segment, with over seven percent market segment share. The
introduction of these new Spectrum-3 based switches should enable
additional growth for Mellanox in the emerging 200GbE and 400GbE
segments.”
“Mellanox and Cumulus have been collaborating for over five
years to help our data center customers build agile, high
performance and highly-automated infrastructure using Linux,” said
Josh Leslie, CEO of Cumulus Networks. “Spectrum-3 enables a
feature-rich leaf/spine network architecture able to achieve
massive scale, at twice the performance as was previously possible,
making the combination of Cumulus Linux and Spectrum-3 an important
part of our product portfolio.”
Spectrum-3 is the latest addition to a broad portfolio of
software and hardware products based on Ethernet Cloud Fabric (ECF)
technology and is backward-compatible with earlier Spectrum models
at an SDK level. Like other switches in the Spectrum family,
Spectrum-3 is ONIE bootable and supports a wide choice of open
Network Operating Systems (NOS) including Mellanox Onyx, DENT,
SONiC, and Cumulus. Customers can enjoy higher performance and
scale while continuing to use a consistent software model.
