About the NVIDIA Spectrum SN2100
The NVIDIA Spectrum SN2100 employs a non-blocking cut-through and store-and-forward switching architecture, delivering a forwarding rate of 2.38 Bpps across its 3.2 Tbps total switching capacity. Built on the NVIDIA Spectrum-1 ASIC and housed in a compact 1U rack-mount form factor (1.73 in × 17.4 in × 18.0 in), the SN2100-4S combines high-density 100GbE connectivity with carrier-grade reliability. The switch features 16 × 100GbE QSFP28 ports supporting flexible line rates including 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE, and 100GbE via breakout cables, alongside a 1GbE out-of-band management port and serial console interface for operational control.
Data center network engineers and infrastructure teams deploy this platform to support demanding workloads requiring low-latency, high-throughput fabric performance. NVIDIA Cumulus Linux (ONIE-compatible) enables streamlined software management, while protocol support for BGP, OSPF, VXLAN, BGP-EVPN, ECMP, LACP, MSTP, RoCE, ECN, and PFC ensures compatibility with modern distributed and virtualized environments. Advanced telemetry capabilities—including NVIDIA What Just Happened (WJH), sFlow, and SPAN/RSPAN—provide real-time visibility into network behavior. Dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies (AC 100–240V input) and configurable hot-swappable fan modules with port-side exhaust or intake airflow options guarantee operational continuity across demanding thermal and uptime requirements.
The SN2100-4S meets FCC, CE, and RoHS regulatory standards, operating reliably between 0°C and 45°C in production environments. Organizations seeking validated, enterprise-grade network switching infrastructure should contact Omnixon Global to submit a request for quotation and explore availability of the NVIDIA Spectrum SN2100 (part number SN2100-4S) for your deployment.
