NVIDIA Spectrum SN2000 provides the highest performance with 1/10/25/40/50/100GbE speeds. With comprehensive support for virtualization and large forwarding tables, Spectrum SN2000 is ideal for building large layer-2 and layer-3 data center fabrics. Additionally, SN2000 is optimized for storage workloads, with unique switch form factors that integrate into hyperconverged Infrastructure and software-defined storage management system for ease of deployment and administration.
Visibility
NVIDIA Spectrum switches support detailed and contextual telemetry with NVIDIA What Just Happened (WJH). WJH dramatically reduces mean time to issue resolution by providing instant answers to when, what, who, where and why questions as soon as an issue occurs. Spectrum switches implement hardware- accelerated histograms track and summarize queue depths at a sub-microsecond granularity. Hardware-accelerated histograms avoid false-alerts common to simple watermarks and threshold based methods.
Performance
NVIDIA Spectrum switches feature a fully shared and monolithic packet buffer architecture. This superior buffer architecture provides a fair, predictable and high-performance data path that is essential for scale out software defined storage and modern multi-tenant cloud deployments. Spectrum switches deliver a robust high bandwidth and low latency data path for remote direct-memory access over converged Ethernet (RoCE) and machine learning applications that leverage GPUDdirect.
Scale
NVIDIA Spectrum switches support best-in-class Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) with support for 6x more tunnels and tunnel end points. Its 256K shared forwarding entries can be flexibly used across access-control lists (ACL), longest prefix match (LPM) routes, host routes, MAC tables, and equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) and tunnel applications.
