HPE 869162-001 Mellanox SH2200 Synergy Switch Module
Overview
The HPE 869162-001 is the Mellanox SH2200 Switch Module, a high-performance Ethernet interconnect specifically engineered for the HPE Synergy composable infrastructure platform. It is designed to provide efficient, low-latency, and high-bandwidth connectivity for demanding enterprise workloads, addressing the need for a scalable and agile network fabric in modern hybrid IT data centers. This module simplifies network architecture by integrating directly into the Synergy frame, reducing cable complexity and operational overhead. At its core, the SH2200 module provides robust Layer 3 switching capabilities to seamlessly connect Synergy compute modules at speeds of 25/50GbE. This high-speed downlink fabric is critical for applications that rely on rapid data transfer and low latency, such as virtualization, cloud, and high-performance computing. With 40/100GbE uplink ports, it ensures ample bandwidth to the upstream network, preventing bottlenecks and supporting scalable growth. Designed for seamless integration, the Mellanox SH2200 is managed through HPE OneView, allowing for the automation of network provisioning and lifecycle management as part of the composable infrastructure. This single-pane-of-glass management simplifies administration, reduces configuration errors, and allows IT teams to rapidly deploy and modify network resources in lockstep with compute and storage. The module's hardware-based virtualization support and TAA compliance make it a secure and reliable choice for both enterprise and public sector environments.
