Mellanox Spectrum® -based 48-port 25GbE + 8-port 100GbE Open Ethernet Platform

Mellanox SN2410 provides the most predictable, highest performance 100GbE ToR switching platform for the growing demands of today’s data centers. The SN2410 switch is an ONIE (Open Network Install Environment) based platform for allowing a multitude of operating systems to be mounted on it and utilizing the advantages of Open Networking and the capabilities of the Mellanox Spectrum® ASIC. The SN2410 has three modes of operation. It can be provided preinstalled with Mellanox Onyx™ (successor to MLNX-OS Ethernet), a home-grown operating system utilizing common networking user experiences and industry standard CLI. It can come preinstalled with Cumulus® Linux, a revolutionary operating system taking the Linux user experience from servers to switches and providing a rich routing functionality for large scale applications. Finally, it can be provided with a bare ONIE image ready to be installed with the aforementioned or other ONIE-based operating systems. The SN2410 switch is an ideal top-of-rack (ToR) solution, allowing maximum flexibility, with port speeds spanning from 10Gb/s to 100Gb/s per port. Its optimized port configuration enables high-speed rack connectivity to any server at 10GbE or 25GbE speeds. The 100GbE uplink ports allow a variety of blocking ratios that suit any application requirement. Powered by the Mellanox Spectrum ASIC and packed with 8 ports running at 100GbE (can be split to 16 ports running 50GbE) and 48 ports running at 25GbE, the SN2410 carries a whopping throughput of 4Tb/s with a landmark 2.97Bpps processing capacity in a compact 1RU form factor.
