Product Overview
The Cisco SFS 7012™ is an industry leading modular system used for creating large,
Leveraging InfiniBand (IB) — an
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.
