NVIDIA Spectrum-4
High-Performance Data Center Networking Infrastructure Platform
Designed for AI applications, NVIDIA Spectrum-4 comes at a time when data centers are growing exponentially and require extremely high performance, advanced security and powerful features to enable high-performance, advanced virtualization and simulation at scale. The Spectrum-4 Ethernet platform includes key features that are essential for the demanding requirements of these technologies.
Functions at a glance
The Spectrum 4 switches offer unprecedented nanosecond accuracy, which represents a five to six order of magnitude performance improvement over traditional millisecond-based data centers. They optimize the network structure by offering twice as fast bandwidth per port, four times fewer switches and 40 percent lower power consumption compared to the previous generation.
In addition to providing accelerated Ethernet for any data center load, Spectrum-4 offers the most advanced and innovative feature set to date. Unique features include cloud security through MACsec over VXLAN and nanosecond timing precision from switch to host.
In addition, NVIDIA Spectrum-4 provides comprehensive packet data visibility that can be seamlessly integrated with open APIs at the SDK level. This feature, also known as What Just Happened (WJH), enables network administrators to immediately identify and resolve issues. The Spectrum 4 switches are compatible with a variety of software solutions, including the Cumulus Linux, SONiC and Linux Switch driver, giving users the flexibility to choose the operating system that best suits their needs.
Summary
With the Spectrum 4 platform, you are well equipped to create data centers that enable breakthrough discoveries and push the boundaries of what is possible. This gives you a clear competitive advantage and enables you to achieve impressive results.
