About the NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand - 400Gb/s
The NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand switch (part number QM9600) delivers redundant hot-swap power supplies and redundant hot-swap fans with configurable airflow options, ensuring uninterrupted fabric availability for mission-critical high-performance computing environments. This 1U rack-mount switch is engineered for network architects and AI infrastructure teams deploying next-generation data center interconnects that demand sub-microsecond latency and lossless fabric performance.
Built on the NVIDIA Quantum-2 ASIC, the QM9600 provides 64 × QSFP112 NDR 400Gb/s ports with an aggregate switching capacity of 51.2Tb/s, supporting both NDR 400Gb/s and NDR100 100Gb/s port speeds. The switch incorporates advanced hardware-based congestion control and adaptive routing alongside NVIDIA SHARP v3 (Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol) for in-network computing acceleration. Integration with NVIDIA UFM (Unified Fabric Manager) and advanced streaming telemetry enables comprehensive fabric monitoring and optimization. A dedicated 1GbE out-of-band management port provides secure, independent access to switch controls and diagnostics. Operating across 0°C to 40°C, with front-to-rear and rear-to-front fan configurations, the Quantum-2 InfiniBand adapts to diverse data center thermal designs. For IT procurement teams and storage architects evaluating next-generation NDR fabric solutions, the QM9600 represents the performance and reliability required for AI training clusters, large-scale simulations, and enterprise storage acceleration.
