Bringing InfiniBand to Campus .

The TX6100 MetroX series extends InfiniBand from a single-location data center network to a high-performance technology for local, campus and even metro applications.

MetroX switches, which implement long-haul InfiniBand, can transfer data to distances of up to 10km. The switches enable aggregate data and storage networking over a single, consolidated InfiniBand fabric.

The long-haul InfiniBand technology guarantees high-performance, high volume data sharing between distant sites, enabling existing data centers expansion, disaster recovery, data mirroring and campus connectivity.

MetroX enables a campus network to assemble large aggregate clusters, all connected and easily managed by an InfiniBand Subnet Manager - an embedded manager, OpenSM, or using Mellanoxs Unified Fabric Manager (UFM ) . MetroX extends InfiniBand protocol RDMA capabilities beyond the local cluster and ensures RDMA enhancements to both data centers and storage clusters alike.
