Product Description
MSN2010-CB2F: Advanced Data Center Switch for High-Performance Networking
The MSN2010-CB2F represents the next evolution in data center switching technology, combining exceptional port density with groundbreaking performance in a compact form factor. This cutting-edge network switch from the renowned SN 2000 series delivers 850Gb/s of switching capacity through its 18x 10/25GbE SFP28 ports and 4x 40/100GbE QSFP28 uplinks. Engineered for modern data-intensive applications, this SN2010 model features a revolutionary 16MB fully shared packet buffer architecture that dynamically allocates resources to prevent congestion and eliminate packet loss. With industry-leading 300ns latency and support for multiple open network operating systems, this network switch provides unparalleled flexibility for enterprises seeking to optimize their infrastructure without vendor lock-in.
Innovative Features
- High-density 25GbE server connectivity with 100GbE uplink capabilities
- Hardware-accelerated telemetry with What Just Happened? (WJH) technology
- Comprehensive RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) support for GPU-direct workloads
- Advanced VXLAN routing and bridging with single-pass processing
- Energy-efficient design with typical power consumption of just 57 watts
- Open Ethernet architecture supporting Cumulus Linux, ONIE, and Onyx operating systems
Technical Architecture
At the heart of this SN 2000 series switch lies the NVIDIA Spectrum ASIC, delivering advanced features typically found in enterprise-grade solutions. The architecture incorporates a programmable pipeline that enables custom packet processing and deep inspection capabilities up to 512 bytes. Support for emerging protocols including EVPN, BGP, and segment routing (SRv6) ensures future-ready performance. The switch's innovative buffer management system employs dynamic allocation algorithms that automatically redirect memory resources to congested ports, maintaining consistent performance during traffic bursts and preventing head-of-line blocking common in conventional switches.
Performance Characteristics
This high-performance network switch implements cut-through switching technology to minimize latency by beginning packet forwarding immediately after the destination address is identified. The sophisticated quality of service (QoS) mechanisms provide granular traffic management with eight priority queues per port and configurable scheduling algorithms. Integrated congestion control features include explicit congestion notification (ECN) and priority-based flow control (PFC), essential for lossless Ethernet environments required by storage and machine learning applications. The hardware-based telemetry system captures detailed performance metrics at sub-microsecond granularity, enabling unprecedented visibility into network behavior.
Implementation Scenarios
The versatility of the SN2010 makes it ideal for diverse deployment environments:
- Hyper-converged infrastructure supporting both compute and storage traffic
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning clusters requiring RoCE support
- Medium-scale cloud deployments with high server-to-switch ratio requirements
- Financial services environments where low latency is critical
- Storage area network aggregation with lossless Ethernet requirements
- Edge computing deployments requiring compact form factor and high performance

Competitive Differentiation
The MSN2010-CB2F establishes new benchmarks for price-performance ratio in its class, delivering features typically associated with premium-priced alternatives. Its innovative half-width design enables unprecedented rack density, allowing two complete switching units to occupy a single rack unit. The advanced buffer management architecture ensures zero packet loss even during extreme traffic bursts, addressing a critical challenge in storage and AI/ML workloads. Support for multiple network operating systems provides unparalleled flexibility, allowing organizations to select the software environment that best aligns with their operational practices rather than being constrained by proprietary ecosystems. These attributes collectively position this SN 2000 series switch as an optimal solution for modern data center requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What distinguishes the SN2010 from other models in the SN2000 series?
A: The SN2010 offers a unique half-width form factor ideal for space-constrained environments, providing an optimal balance of port density and performance compared to the higher-port-count SN2410 and SN2700 models while maintaining cost efficiency.
Q: Can this switch integrate with existing 10GbE infrastructure?
A: Yes, the SFP28 ports are fully backward compatible with 10GbE optics and DAC cables, enabling seamless integration into existing infrastructure while providing a migration path to higher speeds.
Q: What management options are available?
A: The switch supports industry-standard management interfaces including CLI, SNMP, REST API, and NETCONF/YANG for seamless integration with modern automation frameworks.
Q: Does this model support redundant power supplies?
A: The base configuration includes a single power supply. For environments requiring power redundancy, we recommend considering the SN2410 or SN2700 models which feature hot-swappable redundant power supplies.
