About the NVIDIA Spectrum SN2500
The NVIDIA Spectrum SN2500 (part number SN2500-4S) achieves a forwarding rate of 2.38 Bpps through its cut-through switching architecture, delivering the sub-microsecond latency demanded by high-performance data center fabrics. Built on the NVIDIA Spectrum-1 ASIC, this 1U rack-mount switch combines 48 ports of 25GbE SFP28 connectivity with 8 ports of 100GbE QSFP28 throughput, yielding a total switching capacity of 3.2 Tbps. The unit integrates dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies and supports both port-side exhaust (PSE) and port-side intake (PSI) airflow configurations, ensuring flexible deployment across diverse thermal environments between 0°C and 40°C operating temperature.
Network engineers, cloud architects, and infrastructure teams select the SN2500-4S for its comprehensive protocol support and lossless Ethernet capabilities. NVIDIA Cumulus Linux—ONIE-compatible—provides an open, standards-based operating system, while Layer 2 features including VLAN, LACP, MLAG, and both STP and MSTP ensure carrier-grade redundancy. Layer 3 routing via BGP, OSPF, ECMP, and VRF, combined with IPv4 and IPv6 support, enables sophisticated traffic engineering. For storage-intensive and AI workloads, RoCE, Priority Flow Control (PFC), and Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) eliminate packet loss, while VXLAN with EVPN control plane modernizes overlay networking. Hardware-based streaming telemetry through What Just Happened (WJH) provides real-time visibility into network behavior.
Omnixon Global supplies the NVIDIA Spectrum SN2500 to enterprise data centers, service providers, and hyperscale operators across the UAE and the region. If your infrastructure roadmap requires a carrier-class 25/100GbE switch with proven lossless performance and open-source flexibility, contact our technical sales team to discuss specifications, availability, and commercial terms through our RFQ process.
