18-port field upgradable to 36-port Non-blocking Managed 40Gb/s InfiniBand Switch System
The IS5031 switch system provides the highest-performing fabric solution in a 1RU form factor
by delivering up to 2.88Tb/s of non-blocking bandwidth to High-Performance Computing and
Enterprise Data Centers, with 100ns port-to-port latency. Built with Mellanox’s 4th generation
InfiniScale® IV InfiniBand switch device, the IS5031 provides up to 40Gb/s full bidirectional
bandwidth per port. This stand-alone switch is available as an 18-port switch that can be field
upgraded to a 36-port switch and is an ideal choice for top-of-rack leaf connectivity, connectivity
to storage systems or for building small to medium sized clusters. The IS5031 is designed to
carry converged LAN and SAN traffic with the combination of assured bandwidth and granular
Quality of Service (QoS).
Low Cost of Entry and Sustained Network Performance
The IS5031 with 18-ports enables low cost of entry with the ability to upgrade to 36-ports as
the need arises. The IS5031 enables efficient computing with features such as static routing,
adaptive routing, and advanced congestion management. These features ensures the maximum
effective fabric bandwidth by eliminating congestion hot spots. Whether used for parallel
computation or as a converged fabric, the IS5000 family of switches provides the industry’s best
traffic-carrying capacity.
World class Design
The IS5031 is an elegant top of the rack design, that is designed for performance, serviceability,
energy savings and high-availability. The design is optimized for fitting into industry-standard
racks and also for scale-out computing solutions from industry leaders. The IS5031 supports
reversible airflow making the design fit into data centers with different thermal designs. Redundant
and hot swappable power supplies and fans provide high availability for both High-Performance
Computing and Enterprise Data Center applications. Status LEDs for fans and power
supply units are placed on both sides of the system for easy status identification. Quick start
guide, rack mount kit, AC power cord and RJ45 to DB9 console cables are provided as part of the
standard system providing new levels of out of the box experience and performance.
FabricIT™ - The Fabric Manager
FabricIT™ delivers complete fabric management and chassis management. FabricIT fabric
management running on the IS5031 enables managing up to 108 nodes in the fabric and
provides fast setup for cluster bring-up, fabric-wide bandwidth & latency verification, and
various diagnostic tools to check node-node, node-switch connectivity and cluster topology
view. FabricIT chassis management is embedded in IS5031 and provides administrattive tools
to manage the firmware, power supplies, fans, ports, and other interfaces. Various threshold
parameters can be set and the chassis can be managed inband and outband.
