• Extremely low latency using industry-standard IB transport, and commodity processors from AMD, Intel, and Sun
• Substitutes competitive 12RU solutions and hundreds of cables with 1/3 number of cables and only occupies up to four rack units for clusters of up to 288 blade servers
• Open: Solaris, Linux, Open-MPI, and Open-Fabrics stack
• Complements the petascale Sun Datacenter Switch 3456 for large HPC installations

Key Applications

• Financial modeling
• Manufacturing simulations
• Clustered database
• InfiniBand grid architectures

Sun Constellation System

The Sun Datacenter Switch 3x24 joins the Sun Datacenter Switch 3456 as part of Sun's datacenter switch family. When attached to the Sun Blade 6048 modular system, these switches become the center of the Sun Constellation System, the world's first open Petascale computing environment. They work together to combine ultra-dense high performance computing, networking, storage, and software into an integrated system that delivers massive scalability, dramatically reduced complexity, and breakthrough economics – from departmental use to the largest HPC deployments.
