The NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand Platform

As part of the NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand Networking Platform, NVIDIA® ConnectX® InfiniBand host channel adapters (HCAs) provide ultra-low latency, extreme throughput, and innovative NVIDIA In-Network Computing engines to deliver the acceleration, scalability, and feature-rich technology needed for today's modern workloads.

The NVIDIA BlueField® DPUs combine powerful computing, high-speed networking, and extensive programmability to deliver software-defined, hardware-accelerated solutions for the most demanding workloads. From accelerated AI and scientific computing to cloud-native supercomputing, BlueField redefines what’s possible.

NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand switch systems deliver the highest performance and port density available. Innovative capabilities such as NVIDIA Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol (SHARP)™ and advanced management features such as self-healing network capabilities, quality of service, enhanced virtual lane mapping, and NVIDIA In-Network Computing acceleration engines provide a performance boost for industrial, AI, and scientific applications.

NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand systems provide the highest scalability and subnet isolation using InfiniBand routers and InfiniBand-to-Ethernet gateway systems. The latter is used to enable a scalable and efficient way to connect InfiniBand data centers to Ethernet infrastructures.

NVIDIA MetroX® long-haul systems can seamlessly connect remote NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand data centers, storage, and other InfiniBand platforms. They can extend the reach of InfiniBand up to 40 kilometers, enabling native InfiniBand connectivity between remote data centers or between data center and remote storage infrastructures for high availability and disaster recovery.

LinkX® cables and transceivers are designed to maximize the performance of HPC networks, requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency, highly reliable connections between InfiniBand elements.
