Product Overview
The NVIDIA Spectrum SN2100 MSN2100-CB2FC is a high-density 100GbE open networking switch designed for top-of-rack (ToR) deployments in modern data centers. Built on the revolutionary Spectrum ASIC, this switch delivers exceptional performance for cloud, hyperconverged infrastructure, and storage applications. The MQ9700 series provides unparalleled flexibility with support for multiple network operating systems.
Key Characteristics
Performance Excellence
1.6Tb/s switching capacity with 2.38 billion packets per second processing
Ultra-Low Latency
Consistent 300ns cut-through latency for high-frequency and financial applications
Advanced Visibility
Comprehensive telemetry with WJH (What Just Happened) technology
Open Architecture
Support for Cumulus Linux, Onyx, SONiC, and other network operating systems
Core Technology
The MSN2100-CB2FC leverages NVIDIA Spectrum ASIC technology with a fully shared 16MB packet buffer architecture. This innovative approach ensures fair bandwidth allocation and prevents congestion across all ports. The switch supports advanced features including VXLAN routing, RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet), and programmable pipeline for custom network functions.
Working Principle
The switch operates on a cut-through forwarding mechanism, where packet transmission begins before the entire packet has been received, significantly reducing latency. The Spectrum ASIC employs sophisticated algorithms for dynamic buffer allocation, ensuring optimal performance during traffic bursts. The fully shared buffer pool is automatically allocated to congested ports, preventing packet loss and maintaining consistent performance.
Application Scenarios
Enterprise Data Centers
As top-of-rack leaf switches providing high-speed server connectivity with 100GbE uplinks to spine layers.
Cloud Infrastructure
Building scalable, software-defined networks for public and private cloud deployments with automation capabilities.
High-Performance Computing
Supporting RDMA and GPUDirect technologies for machine learning and scientific computing clusters.
Financial Services
Delivering ultra-low latency for high-frequency trading and real-time analytics applications.
