The Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 72 joins the Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 648 and Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 in Sun's third generation family of InfiniBand (IB) switches. The one rack unit (RU) switch is a complete, ultra-slim, ultra-dense switch fabric solution for Sun server clusters up to 72 Quad Data Rate (QDR) IB nodes. Most importantly, the switch integrates with the Sun Blade 6048 InfiniBand QDR Switched Network Express Module, scaling up to over 576 end nodes.

The Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36 is a 36-port Quad Data Rate (QDR) InfiniBand leaf switch enabling users to bind Sun Blade and Sun Fire servers and storage systems into a 36-node cluster. This multi-purpose switch can act as a self-contained fabric solution for smaller InfiniBand clusters or as a building block for hierarchical fabric topologies supporting larger clusters of Sun Blade or Sun Fire servers and storage systems.
