NVIDIA Mellanox MetroX-2

Bring together remote resources with expanded InfiniBand interconnectivity

Using InfiniBand across multiple, geographically distributed data centers requires high-volume, remote direct-memory access (RDMA)-based data connectivity. NVIDIA^® Mellanox^® MetroX^®-2 systems, based on the NVIDIA Mellanox Quantum™ HDR 200Gb/s InfiniBand switch, extends InfiniBand to data centers up to 40 kilometers apart, enabling data center expansion, rapid disaster recovery, and improved utilization of remote storage and compute infrastructures.

Faster Data Center Recovery

Designed for today’s business continuity and simplified disaster recovery design, MetroX-2 enables aggregate data and storage networking over a single, consolidated fabric. As a cost-effective, power-efficient, and scalable long haul solution, NVIDIA MetroX-2 guarantees high-performance, high-volume data-sharing between remote InfiniBand sites, easily managed as a single unified network fabric.
