HPE 866573-B21 Mellanox SH2200 TAA Switch Module

The HPE 866573-B21 is the Mellanox SH2200 TAA-compliant Switch Module, a high-performance network interconnect designed specifically for the HPE Synergy composable infrastructure platform. It addresses the need for high-speed, low-latency fabric connectivity within data-intensive environments, such as hybrid IT, cloud, and virtualized enterprise data centers. The module's primary function is to provide an efficient, scalable bridge between Synergy compute nodes and the upstream data center network. Based on the Mellanox Spectrum ASIC, this switch module delivers exceptional throughput, making it ideal for demanding workloads like financial services, network function virtualization, and high-frequency trading. It provides 25/50GbE downlinks to Synergy compute modules and high-speed 40/100GbE uplinks to the core network. This architecture ensures that network bandwidth does not become a bottleneck for application performance, offering ultra-low latency of less than 300 nanoseconds. Designed as an integrated plug-in module for the HPE Synergy frame, the SH2200 simplifies infrastructure management and reduces operational complexity. It supports advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 feature sets, including hardware-based support for VXLAN virtualization and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) for storage offloading. Management is handled via industry-standard interfaces, allowing network administrators to maintain control using familiar tools and processes.
