High-performance Computing (HPC) Networking
For high-performance computing environments, our networking solutions provide the speed and reliability needed to process and manage vast amounts of data. We design and implement infrastructure that supports the high-bandwidth, low-latency needs of HPC clusters, driving efficiency and productivity.
Cisco DNA / Arista CloudVision® for H100 InfiniBand Solution
Overview
The solution based on the NVIDIA® H100 GPU, integrated with Cisco DNA or Arista CloudVision® management platforms, offers a robust Infiniband network architecture tailored for high-performance computing (HPC). This setup meets various business needs by encompassing the InfiniBand network, management network, and storage network.
InfiniBand
InfiniBand is a high-performance networking technology primarily used in HPC environments, data centers, and enterprise networks.
- InfiniBand is designed to deliver high-speed data transfer, low latency, and high throughput for communication between servers and storage systems.
In-band Management
In-band management involves using the same network that handles regular data traffic to manage network devices and systems.
- This method allows administrators to perform tasks such as configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting over the same network used for normal data communication.
Out-of-band Management
Out-of-band management employs a dedicated management network separate from the regular data network for managing network devices and systems.
- OOB management provides a separate pathway for management tasks, ensuring that administrators can access network devices even if the primary data network is down.
InfiniBand Network Components
Powered by NVIDIA® H100 GPUs and InfiniBand switches, the InfiniBand network offers ultra-low latency and high bandwidth. It ensures lossless transmission through advanced flow control mechanisms.
