Scalable Solution for Data Center 40GbE Aggregation Switch System

The Mellanox Virtual Modular Switch solution (VMS), comprised of Mellanox 10, 40/56, and 100GbE fixed switches, provides an ideal, optimized approach for a fixed switches aggregation.

Mellanox offer two VMS options, 40/56GbE VMS and 100GbE VMS, both operating at ultra-low latencies and with energy efficiency.

The 40/56GbE VMS scales up to 28.8 Tb/s of non-blocking bandwidth and up to 720 nodes of 40GbE. The 100GbE VMS scales up to 51.2 Tb/s of non-blocking bandwidth and up to 512 nodes of 100GbE.

VMS saves on both CAPEX and OPEX. It is easy to deploy, manage, and maintain and provides a resilient solution with fast recovery from hardware failures.

When compared to competing offerings, VMS excels with higher flexibility, better scalability, and energy efficiency, while future-proofing the investment and reducing expenses, making it the perfect solution for your network.

VMS installation is fully automated by the VMS Wizard, an automation software that generates a connectivity plan from simple user input. After installation, it configures the fabric switches through Puppet manifests or CLI commands, and performs physical, layer 2, and layer 3 connectivity validations.

The VMS Wizard integrates an enhanced Puppet agent, which implements new configuration types, such as OSPF and layer 3 interfaces for scalable fabrics.
