HPE 851324-001 Apollo A10 36 Port EDR InfiniBand Switch Ethernet

HPE 851324-001 Apollo A10 36-Port EDR Switch Module

Overview

The HPE 851324-001 is a high-density, high-bandwidth network switch module designed primarily for HPC and data-centre environments, offering 36 ports at 100 Gb/s per port in a compact plug-in module format. It supports both InfiniBand EDR and 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, enabling dense interconnect fabrics for server clusters, storage arrays, or compute-to-network aggregation. The module's design fits into compatible chassis platforms and is tailored for ultra-high-throughput scenarios where dozens of 100 Gb links must be managed in minimal rack space. Technical considerations include approximately 198 W maximum power draw, and packaged dimensions reflect ~14″ height × ~11″ width × ~4″ depth and ~7 lb weight. This makes it a specialized component suited to deployment in purpose-built enclosures rather than standard office network racks, and requires proper cooling and back-plane support. The module is ideal for engineers planning large-scale cluster interconnects, enabling simplified port counts and accelerated throughput without sacrificing density.
