The Cisco® SFS 7012D and 7024D InfiniBand Server Switches set the standard for high-density, low-latency, 4X DDR and SDR InfiniBand switching for building high-performance clusters.
High-performance computing (HPC) applications that solve complex, computationally intensive problems are widely deployed within academic and research communities and enterprises because they deliver significant business benefits. An important enabler for the broad adoption of HPC applications is the practice of clustering multiple industry-standard servers using a high-speed network to provide supercomputer performance, at a fraction of the cost of traditional supercomputers.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D (Figure 1) provide nonblocking switching for up to 144 and 288 InfiniBand 4X ports respectively. Each port can operate in double data rate (DDR) mode, which delivers 20 Gbps, or single data rate (SDR) mode, which delivers 10 Gbps for server or inter-switch link connectivity. The Cisco SFS 7012D supports fully redundant, hot-swappable components that are ideal for building large-scale, highly available clusters for HPC applications. The Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D are optimized for very large, high-density HPC environments and deliver nonblocking, high-bandwidth, low-latency switching in a cost-effective form factor.

• Standalone Cisco High-performance Subnet Manager
FABRIC DENSITY AND SCALABILITY
The Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D are among the highest-density InfiniBand switches in the industry today. With 12 InfiniBand 4X SDR/DDR ports per slot, these switches can support up to 144 or 288 nonblocking InfiniBand 4X ports at either 20- or 10-Gbps respectively within a single chassis for server and inter-switch connectivity. When combined with other Cisco SFS 7000 Series InfiniBand Server Switches, the Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D provide the foundation for building very large HPC clusters consisting of thousands of nodes to support the most demanding HPC applications.
HIGH RELIABILITY AND AVAILABLITY
The Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D deliver the performance, scalability, and director-class uptime required for the most demanding HPC environments. Minimizing downtime requires rapid hardware serviceability and software upgrades. The Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D are optimized for reliability and availability and support hot-swappable components to help eliminate downtime and maximize the availability of the cluster or compute environment. This includes hot-pluggable, redundant fan trays and power supplies that can be field-upgraded without requiring the switch to power down.
SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT
Configuration, remote management, monitoring, diagnostics, and updates are supported through Telnet, Secure Shell Protocol Version 2 (SSHv2), and serial command-line interface (CLI) as well as a powerful, fully featured, browser-based GUI that enables the Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D to be deployed in a ready-to-use fashion in the network within minutes. The Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D can be managed using the Cisco SFS management suite or with existing network management systems using standard protocols such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), with supported SNMPv3 security.
FABRIC INTELLIGENCE
The Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D offer sophisticated system and network management capability that simplifies monitoring, diagnostics, and maintenance. The comprehensive management capability quickly identifies and isolates trouble areas, or "hot spots." Each field-replaceable unit (FRU) supports a full suite of system-level diagnostic health checks that assess the health of all components to detect potential problems, such as rising temperature or internal error rates, and report these anomalies in real time to proactively notify the system administrator. The Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D also support a full complement of real-time performance monitoring, including graphing of bandwidth utilization and error rates, to give system administrators an unprecedented view of fabric performance.
VALUE
The Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D support autosensing of InfiniBand 4X DDR or SDR attached devices and also support the capability to forward packets between DDR and SDR connections to provide better utilization of system resources and investment protection for existing InfiniBand 4X devices. For example, the Cisco SFS 7012D can support 96 InfiniBand 4X SDR server connections with 48 DDR uplinks to the InfiniBand fabric core, which provides nonblocking uplink capacity and high-density server connectivity. The Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D are IBTA 1.0a and 1.1 standards-compliant, and are interoperable with other IBTA standards-compliant InfiniBand products. The high-performance Cisco InfiniBand Subnet Manager and Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D deliver the performance required to build the largest InfiniBand switch networks.
COMPLETE SERVER SWITCHING SOLUTION
The Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D are a part of the Cisco SFS 7000 Series of InfiniBand Server Switches which, combined with the Cisco Catalyst ® 6000 Series Switches and Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switches, deliver a comprehensive, industry-leading data center switching solution. The Cisco SFS solution also includes integrated Ethernet and Fiber Channel gateway modules, and 20-Gbps InfiniBand host channel adapters (HCAs) with a complete suite of upper-layer protocols: IP over InfiniBand, Messaging Passing Interface (MPI), Sockets Direct Protocol (SDP), SCSCI RDMA Protocol (SRP), and user Data Access Provider Layer (uDAPL). The Cisco SFS 7012D and 7024D share common switch software with all the other Cisco SFS 7000 and 3000 Series server switches, offering a clear growth path while protecting existing investments.
