Mellanox MetroX TX6100 InfiniBand Switch

The TX6100 MetroX™ series extends InfiniBand from a single-location data center network to a high-performance technology for local, campus and even metro applications.

Scaling-Out Data Centers with MetroX
Data centers, compute clusters and supercomputers are overwhelmed by unprecedented growth in data volume, fueled by strong application and technology trends.

While InfiniBand products have been traditionally deployed for their high-performance interconnect benefits within the data center, Mellanox MetroX switches, implementing long-haul InfiniBand, enable connecting between data centers deployed across multiple geographically distributed sites, extending the same world-leading interconnect benefits of InfiniBand beyond local data centers and storage clusters.

Mellanox's MetroX is the perfect cost-effective, low power, easily managed and scalable solution that enables today's data centers and storage to run over local and distributed InfiniBand fabrics, managed as a single unified network infrastructure.

Long Haul InfiniBand
MetroX switches, which implement long-haul InfiniBand, can transfer data to distances of up to 10km. The switches enable aggregate data and storage networking over a single, consolidated InfiniBand fabric. The long-haul InfiniBand technology guarantees high-performance, highvolume data sharing between distant sites, enabling existing data centers expansion, disaster recovery, data mirroring and campus connectivity.
