IBM InfiniBand Clusters With QLogic InfiniBand Switches

For HPC, and high-performance clusters and grids

This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on November 13, 2008 at 3:36 pm

The IBM Power Systems machine type 7874 enables the ordering and service of specific QLogic 4X DDR InfiniBand switches that are available in four models of up to 24-port, 48-port, 144-port, and 288-port capability.

  • The IBM 7874-024 is a QLogic 9024CU Managed 24-port 4X DDR InfiniBand Edge Switch, designed to provide a compact 1U solution for use in building small node count fabrics. Included in the 7874-024 are redundant power supplies, power cords, rack mount kit, and QLogic InfiniBand Fabric Suite.
  • The IBM 7874-040 is a QLogic 9040 48-port 4X DDR InfiniBand Fabric Director Switch, an excellent workgroup or database cluster model, supporting up to four 12-port 4X InfiniBand Leaf Modules. Included in the 7874-040 is a DDR Managed Spine Module, redundant power supplies, redundant fans, power cords, rack mount kit, and QLogic InfiniBand Fabric Suite.
  • The IBM 7874-120 is a QLogic 9120 144-port 4X DDR InfiniBand Fabric Director Switch, designed to support larger HPC clusters, supporting up to twelve 12-port 4X InfiniBand Leaf Modules. Included in the 7874-120 are redundant DDR Managed Spine Modules, a full complement of Spine Modules to provide a 100% nonblocking fabric for all 144 ports, redundant power supplies, redundant fans, power cords, rack mount kit, and QLogic InfiniBand Fabric Suite.
  • The IBM 7874-240 is a QLogic 9240 288-port 4X DDR InfiniBand Fabric Director Switch, designed to support very large HPC clusters, supporting up to twenty-four 12-port 4X InfiniBand Leaf Modules. Included in the 7874-240 are redundant DDR Managed Spine Modules, a full complement of Spine Modules to provide a 100% nonblocking fabric for all 288 ports, redundant power supplies, redundant fans, power cords, rack mount kit, and QLogic InfiniBand Fabric Suite.

Key prerequisites
The IBM Power Systems servers supported for attachment to the QLogic InfiniBand switches are 7998-61X, 8203-E4A, 8204-E8A, 8234-EMA, 9117-MMA, and 9125-F2A.
