SWITCH SYSTEM
PRODUCT BRIEF
SN2100 Open Ethernet Switch
Half-width 16-port Non-blocking 100GbE Open Ethernet
Switch System
The SN2100 switch provides a high density, side-by-side 100GbE switching solution
which scales up to 128 ports in 1RU for the growing demands of today’s database,
storage, data centers environments.
The SN2100 switch is an ideal spine and top of rack (ToR) solution, allowing maximum exibility, with
port speeds spanning from 10Gb/s to 100Gb/s per port and port density that enables full rack connectivity
to any server at any speed. The uplink ports allow a variety of blocking ratios that suit any application
requirement.
Powered by the Mellanox Spectrum
carries a whopping throughput of 3.2Tb/s with a landmark 2.38Bpps processing capacity in a compact
1RU form factor.
Following the footsteps of the SwitchX
proven Mellanox Onyx™ operating system (successor to MLNX-OS Ethernet) with a wide installed base
and a robust implementation of data, control and management planes that drives the world’s most
powerful data centers.
Keeping with the Mellanox tradition of setting performance record switch systems, the SN2100
introduces the world’s lowest latency for a 100GbE switching and routing element, and does so while
having the lowest power consumption in the market. With the SN2100, the use of 25, 40, 50 and 100GbE
in large scale is enabled without changing power infrastructure facilities.
The SN2100 is part of Mellanox’s complete end-to-end solution which provides 10GbE through 100GbE
interconnectivity within the data center. Other devices in this solution include ConnectX
network interface cards, and LinkX
Mellanox NEO
®
, a management application that relieves some of the major obstacles when deploying a
network. NEO enables a fully certied and interoperable design, speeds up time to service and eventually
speeds up ROI.
The SN2100 carries a unique design to accommodate the highest rack performance. Its design allows
side-by-side placement of two switches in a single, 1RU slot of a 19” rack, delivering high availability to
the hosts.
Database solutions require high availability and the ability to scale out in active-active conguration. For
example, DB2 pureScale or Oracle RAC require high bandwidth and low latency to the caching facility,
the disk storage system, etc., with connectivity to the application servers. The SN2100 is the best t,
providing the highest network throughput, resilience and a mix of 25GbE and 100GbE ports.

ASIC and packed with 16 ports running at 100GbE, the SN2100

-2 based-systems, the SN2100 enjoys the legacy of the eld-

The SN2100 introduces hardware capabilities for multiple tunneling
protocols that enable increased reachability and scalability for today’s
data centers. Implementing MPLS, NVGRE and VXLAN tunneling
encapsulations in the network layer of the data center allows more
exibility for terminating a tunnel by the network, in addition to
termination on the server endpoint.

While Mellanox Spectrum provides the thrust and acceleration that
powers the SN2100, an integrated powerful x86-based processor
allows this system to not only be the highest performing switch fabric
element, but also gives the ability to incorporate a Linux running server
into the same device. This opens up multiple application aspects of
utilizing the high CPU processing power and the best switching fabric,
to create a powerful machine with unique appliance capabilities that
can improve numerous network implementation paradigms.
