Mellanox SH2200 TAA Switch Module

The HPE 866573-B21 Mellanox SH2200 TAA Switch Module is a high-performance, modular switch designed for HPE Synergy infrastructures. Engineered for demanding data center operations, this plug-in switch provides ultra-low latency connectivity and high-bandwidth networking, bridging compute modules with top-tier Ethernet uplinks. Based on Mellanox’s powerful Spectrum™ ASIC, the SH2200 delivers exceptional throughput and hardware virtualization support, enabling robust network fabrics essential for modern workloads such as NFV, financial services, and scaled virtualization. Whether deployed in hybrid cloud, enterprise, or government environments requiring Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance, the SH2200 ensures resilient network performance and simplified infrastructure management.

Features

Architected for composable infrastructure, the SH2200 Switch Module directly integrates into HPE Synergy frames, providing high-speed connectivity with modular efficiency. It offers 12 downlink ports at 25/50 GbE across the midplane—delivering direct access to compute modules—and 8 uplink ports at 40/100 GbE for high-capacity upstream networking . With a switching capacity of up to 2.8 Tbps and 8.4 Bpps throughput, it caters to the most performance-sensitive environments . Fully managed with Layer 3 capabilities, the module supports advanced routing protocols (e.g., BGP, OSPF, ECMP), MLAG for redundancy, and comprehensive VLAN and QoS features Ideal for Synergy-based hybrid IT environments, it simplifies networking complexity while delivering enterprise-class resilience and scale.

Advanced Options

Designed for critical workloads, the SH2200 delivers deterministic, low-latency Ethernet performance through Mellanox’s Spectrum™ ASIC—complimented by a massive switching fabric capable of 2.8 Tbps. This capacity supports high-speed interconnect between storage, compute, and network fabrics, maintaining consistent throughput in dense server clusters . The 12 downlinks (25/50 GbE) ensure each compute node receives dedicated high-bandwidth connectivity, while 8 high-speed uplinks aggregate traffic upstream with minimal bottlenecks.
