SWITCH SYSTEM
PRODUCT BRIEF
SN2410 Ethernet Switch
Mellanox Spectrum®-based 48-port 25GbE + 8-port 100GbE
Open Ethernet Platform
Mellanox SN2410 provides the most predictable, highest performance 100GbE
ToR switching platform for the growing demands of today’s data centers.
The SN2410 switch is an ONIE (Open Network Install Environment) based platform for allowing a
multitude of operating systems to be mounted on it and utilizing the advantages of Open Networking and
the capabilities of the Mellanox Spectrum
The SN2410 has three modes of operation. It can be provided preinstalled with Mellanox Onyx™
(successor to MLNX-OS Ethernet), a home-grown operating system utilizing common networking user
experiences and industry standard CLI. It can come preinstalled with Cumulus
operating system taking the Linux user experience from servers to switches and providing a rich routing
functionality for large scale applications. Finally, it can be provided with a bare ONIE image ready to be
installed with the aforementioned or other ONIE-based operating systems.
The SN2410 switch is an ideal top-of-rack (ToR) solution, allowing maximum exibility, with port speeds
spanning from 10Gb/s to 100Gb/s per port. Its optimized port conguration enables high-speed rack
connectivity to any server at 10GbE or 25GbE speeds. The 100GbE uplink ports allow a variety of blocking
ratios that suit any application requirement.
Powered by the Mellanox Spectrum ASIC and packed with 8 ports running at 100GbE (can be split to 16
ports running 50GbE) and 48 ports running at 25GbE, the SN2410 carries a whopping throughput of 4Tb/s
with a landmark 2.97Bpps processing capacity in a compact 1RU form factor.
Keeping with the Mellanox tradition of setting performance
record switch systems, the SN2410 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. The low latency is maintained while switching or routing between ports at different speeds,
leveraging a smart cut-through architecture that performs on-the-y optimized buffering, eliminating any
dependency between ports. With the SN2410, the use of 25, 40, 50 and 100GbE in large scale is enabled
without changing power infrastructure facilities.
The SN2410 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

The SN2410 introduces superior hardware capabilities including
dynamic exible shared buffers and predictable wire speed
performance with no packet loss for any packet size.
While Mellanox Spectrum provides the thrust and acceleration that
powers the SN2410, the system gets yet another angle of capabilities
while running with a powerful x86-based processor, which 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.
