About the Mellanox MQM8700-HS2R Quantum InfiniBand HDR 200Gb/s Switch, 40 Ports
The Mellanox MQM8700-HS2R delivers cut-through switching architecture with sub-100 nanosecond port-to-port latency, eliminating store-and-forward delays critical for high-performance computing environments. This 40-port InfiniBand HDR 200Gb/s switch achieves 16Tb/s aggregate switching capacity, making it the backbone for data-intensive workloads requiring predictable, ultra-low latency fabric performance.
Built on Mellanox's proven Quantum ASIC platform, the MQM8700-HS2R features 40 QSFP56 ports operating at 200Gb/s each, with optional 2:1 breakout capability for mixed HDR100 and EDR 100Gb/s deployments. Advanced congestion control through InfiniBand Smart Congestion Control, adaptive routing, and SHARP in-network computing offload reduce CPU overhead while maximizing application throughput. Hardware-based MACsec encryption protects fabric traffic, and dual hot-swappable power supplies ensure operational resilience. The switch integrates seamlessly with NVIDIA UFM fabric management tools and embedded OpenSM, simplifying deployment in hybrid multi-fabric data centers. Network engineers and AI infrastructure teams deploying large-scale HPC clusters, enterprise data analytics platforms, and AI training environments depend on this performance tier to justify infrastructure investment.
