Product Overview

The Cisco SFS 7012™ is an industry leading modular system used for creating large, single-system Grid/Cluster server fabrics, or as a building block for larger fabrics. The SFS 7012 is designed to maximize performance, streamline operations, and ensure uptime by providing full hardware and software reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features.

Leveraging InfiniBand (IB) — an industry-standard interconnect — the SFS 7012 provides high performance, offering a full bisectional bandwidth (FBB) fabric (10Gb-30Gb) and ultra-low switching latency. Additionally, the SFS 7012 can be configured to run at 2.5 Gbps single data rate (SDR), 5.0 Gbps double data rate (DDR), or both.

All major SFS 7012 components and expansion modules are field replaceable and hot pluggable. To allow easy scaling, the SFS 7012 provides 12 expansion slots. Each slot can support expansion modules with twelve 10 Gbit/sec (or 4X) IB ports, meaning the SFS 7012 can scale to 144 (4X) InfiniBand ports. The SFS 7000 Series switches make possible the highest density of InfiniBand fabrics available today.
