Intel® True Scale Fabric 12200
Switch
36-Port 40Gbps Switch, Managed, Fixed Conguration
Overview
The Intel® 12200 is a 36-port, 40Gbps switch based on InniBand* architecture that
cost-effectively supports a cluster of up to 36 servers, or provides an edge switch option
for a larger fabric. This xed-conguration switch is a member of the 12000 series, which
delivers an exceptional set of high-speed networking features and functions.
PRODUCT BRIEF
Intel® True Scale Fabric 6ZLWFK
Highlights
• 36 ports of InfiniBand* QDR–40Gbps performance
• 2.88Tbps aggregate bandwidth
• Intel® True Scale Architecture, with scalable, predictable low latency
• Multiple Virtual Lanes (VLs) per physical port
• Supports virtual fabric partitioning
• Small QDR data center footprint with cost-effective edgeport
density
• Chassis and fabric management through optional embedded
management module or Intel® Fabric Suite (IFS) management
solution that provides an expanded set of fabric views
and fabric tools
• RoHS 6 compliant
• Minimal power and cooling requirements
• Complies with InfiniBand Trade Association* (IBTA*) v1.2 standard
Benefits
• QDR line rate performance
• Ultra-low latency under heavy loads
• Flexible quality of service (QoS) maximizes bandwidth use
• Protects existing InfiniBand investments
• Highly reliable and available
• Easy to manage
• Minimal power and cooling requirements
Low Latency
Intel’s 12200 switch provides scalable and predictable low latency,
even when operating at 90 percent of bandwidth. Predictable
latency means HPC applications can scale without diminished cluster
performance or costly system tuning efforts.
Flexible Partitioning
The Intel 12200 advanced design is based on an architecture that
provides a comprehensive set of virtual fabric partitioning features
that enable the InniBand* fabric to support the evolving requirements
of an organization. The Intel® True Scale Architecture, together with
IFS, allows mission-critical applications to share the fabric, while
maximizing bandwidth.
Investment Protection
The 12000 Series switch products adhere to the IBTA* version 1.2
specication, which ensures interoperability with all IBTA* compliant
devices.
Highly Reliable
The highly available 12200 switch design integrates state-of-the-art
fault detection and recovery capabilities.
Easy to Manage
The 12200 switch takes advantage of Intel’s advanced IFS software
for fast installation and conguration. IFS has tools that automate
and accelerate cluster installation, verication, and administration for
both hosts and switches. IFS integrates easily with existing network
management tools, and has comprehensive reports that supply a wide
range of details about the environment.
Power Optimized
Maximum performance is delivered with minimal power and cooling
requirements as part of Intel’s commitment to developing green
solutions for the data center.
