Fabric

For redundancy, InfiniBand Host Channel Adapters (HCAs) can be dual-connected to a redundant pair of Topspin 270/Cisco SFS 7008s.

In an InfiniBand fabric that includes more than one Topspin 270/Cisco SFS 7008: if the subnet manager on the Topspin 270/Cisco SFS 7008 that is acting as the master fails, another subnet manager will take over within seconds. All necessary state information is kept in sync.

Non-Blocking Architecture

The Topspin 270/Cisco SFS 7008 provides non-blocking switch element architecture with full bi-directional bandwidth for the switch chassis.
