NVIDIA Spectrum® based 1U switch systems are designed for spine and Top of Rack (ToR) solutions, offering flexibility with port speeds from 10Gb/s to 100Gb/s and high port density for full rack connectivity. These systems, powered by the NVIDIA Spectrum ASIC, provide significant switching and processing capacities in a compact 1U form factor. They feature the world’s lowest latency for 100GbE switching and routing, along with the lowest power consumption in the market, supporting large-scale use without changing power infrastructure.

Part of NVIDIA’s end-to-end solution, these switches offer 10GbE to 100GbE interconnectivity within data centers, complemented by ConnectX®-4 network interface cards and LinkX® cabling/transceivers. The NEO management application enhances deployment by ensuring a certified and interoperable design, speeding up time to service and ROI. The systems support multiple tunneling protocols like MPLS, NVGRE, and VXLAN, increasing reachability and scalability.

Additionally, the switches incorporate a powerful x86-based processor, enabling them to function as high-performance switch fabric elements and Linux-running servers. They support the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) for zero-touch installations and can be preloaded with NVIDIA Onyx, Cumulus Linux, or SONiC operating systems.
