Detailed Specifications
HPE 634671-001 Voltaire 34-Port QDR IB 10G LM Switch
Overview
The HPE 634671-001 is a high-performance network switch engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. This robust solution provides critical high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnections essential for applications ranging from scientific research to financial modeling. It is designed to efficiently handle large data transfers and real-time processing, ensuring optimal performance for connected systems. At its core, the switch features 34 Quad Data Rate (QDR) InfiniBand ports, each capable of delivering 40 Gbps of bandwidth, facilitating incredibly fast data movement within a compute cluster. Complementing the InfiniBand capabilities, two integrated 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports offer flexible connectivity options for management or uplink to broader IP networks. This dual-protocol support, combined with its inherently low latency and minimal jitter, makes the 634671-001 critical for environments where every millisecond counts, driving faster computation and analysis. Typically deployed in standard server racks, this switch is built for scalability, supporting the aggregation of up to eight switches within a single fabric to accommodate expanding infrastructure needs without compromising performance. An integrated management module simplifies network administration, providing centralized control and monitoring capabilities that allow IT teams to efficiently oversee and maintain the entire fabric from a unified interface, thereby reducing operational complexity and overhead.
