HPE 829910-B21 Intel Omni-Path Architecture 100Gb 48-Port Unmanaged Switch

Detailed Specifications

The HPE 829910-B21 is an Intel Omni-Path Architecture switch providing 48 ports of high-speed 100GbE connectivity. This device is engineered specifically for High-Performance Computing (HPC) and hyperscale data center environments where maximum throughput and minimal latency are critical operational requirements. It directly addresses the need for a dense, high-bandwidth fabric to connect large clusters of compute nodes, making it an ideal component for scientific research, big data analytics, and machine learning workloads. At its core, this switch leverages the Intel Omni-Path Architecture to deliver exceptional performance and efficiency. The 48 QSFP28 ports provide 100 Gbps node-to-node throughput, enabling rapid data transfer and reducing processing bottlenecks in complex computations. The architecture is optimized for traffic flow and includes advanced error detection and correction, ensuring the fabric remains resilient and efficient even under the heavy load typical of HPC applications. This translates to faster results and more reliable cluster performance. Designed for seamless integration and operational simplicity, the 829910-B21 features a 1U rack-mountable form factor. As an unmanaged switch, it simplifies network deployment by eliminating complex configuration tasks, allowing it to be easily integrated into systems like the HPE Apollo family where it can be monitored via the primary chassis controller. Its design supports cost-effective network topologies that reduce cabling and improve system reliability, making it a foundational element for building powerful and scalable compute infrastructure.
