NVIDIA® Spectrum™ SN4000 series switches are the 4th generation of Spectrum switches, purpose-built for leaf/spine/super-spine datacenter applications. Allowing maximum flexibility, SN4000 series provides port speeds spanning from 1GbE to 400GbE, with a port density that enables full rack connectivity to any server at any speed. In addition, the uplink ports allow a variety of blocking ratios to suit any application requirement.
The SN4000 series is ideal for building wire-speed and cloud-scale layer-2 and layer-3 networks. The SN4000 platforms deliver high performance, consistent low latency along with support for advanced software defined networking features, making it the ideal choice for web scale IT, cloud, hyperconverged storage and data analytics applications.
Performance
• Fully shared packet buffer provides a fair, predictable and high bandwidth data path
• Consistent and low cut-through latency
• Intelligent hardware-accelerated data movement, congestion management & load balancing for RoCE & Machine learning applications that leverage NVIDIA GPUDirect
• Best-in-class VXLAN scale- 10X more tunnels and tunnel endpoints than others
• 512K shared forwarding entries flexibly shared across ACL, LPM routes, host routes, MAC, ECMP and tunnel applications
• Up to 1M IPv4 route entries
Network Disaggregation: Open Ethernet
Open Ethernet breaks the paradigm of traditional switch systems, eliminating vendor lock-in. Instead of forcing network operators to use the specific software that is provided by the switch vendor, Open Ethernet offers the flexibility to use a choice of operating systems on top of Ethernet switches, thereby re-gaining control of the network, and optimizing utilization, efficiency and overall return on investment.
Open Ethernet adopts the same principles as standard open solutions for servers and storage, and applies them to the world of networking infrastructure. It encourages an ecosystem of open source, standard network solutions.
These solutions can then be easily deployed into the modern data center across network equipment that eases management and ensures full interoperability. With a range of system form factors, and a rich software ecosystem, NVIDIA SN4000 series allows you to pick and choose the right components for your data center.
NVIDIA SN4000 Series
SN4000 series platforms are based on the high-performance Spectrum-3 ASIC with a bidirectional switching capacity of 12.8Tbps. SN4000 platforms are available in a range of configurations, each delivering high performance combined with feature-rich layer 2 and layer 3 forwarding, ideally suited for both top-of-rack leaf and fixed configuration spines. SN4000 series provides full wire speed, cut through-mode latency, on-chip fully-shared 64MB packet buffering, and flexible port use in addition to advanced capabilities. Combining a wide range of innovations in the area of programmability, telemetry, and tunneling with industry leading performance, NVIDIA SN4000 series is capable of addressing today’s data center’s complex networking requirements
