About the Mellanox MSB7700
The Mellanox MSB7700 (part number MSB7700-CS2F) delivers 36 × QSFP28 ports operating at 100Gb/s per port, enabling 7.2Tb/s bidirectional aggregate bandwidth in a compact 1U rack-mount form factor. Built on the Mellanox Quantum ASIC and supporting EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) InfiniBand, this switch is engineered for high-performance, low-latency interconnect fabrics with port-to-port latency of approximately 130ns in cut-through mode.
Network engineers and infrastructure architects deploying large-scale data centers will find the Mellanox MSB7700 essential for building fault-tolerant switching architectures. The switch incorporates Adaptive Routing, Credit-Based Flow Control, and QoS capabilities to optimize traffic distribution across Fat-tree, Dragonfly, and Hypercube topologies. Dual hot-swappable AC power supplies and redundant hot-swappable fan modules ensure operational continuity, while management is simplified through a single RJ-45 out-of-band interface, USB port, and NVIDIA Unified Fabric Manager (UFM) software integration. Operating within 0°C to 45°C and consuming approximately 325W typical power, the MSB7700-CS2F meets CE, FCC, and RoHS regulatory compliance standards.
Typical Deployment Scenarios
- High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring sub-200ns latency and high bisection bandwidth
- Machine learning training environments demanding consistent, predictable interconnect performance
- Storage area networks (SANs) with dense, multi-tier fabric architectures
- Enterprise data centers consolidating multiple InfiniBand islands into unified fabric topologies
- Research institutions and government facilities with extreme-scale parallel computing workloads
