NVIDIA Spectrum MSN2700-CS2F Series Open Networking Switches
MSN2700-CS2F Product Overview
The NVIDIA Spectrum SN2000 series represents the second generation
of high-performance, open Ethernet switches engineered for modern
data center leaf, spine, and super-spine deployments. These network switch solutions deliver exceptional flexibility, scalability, and
performance with port speeds ranging from 1GbE to 100GbE. Built on
the innovative Spectrum ASIC, the SN 2000 series supports a variety of network operating systems, providing
freedom from vendor lock-in and enabling customized network
infrastructures.
MSN2700-CS2F Key Features
- Port speeds from 1GbE to 100GbE with high port density
- Fully shared packet buffer architecture for fair and predictable
performance
- Hardware-accelerated telemetry with WJH (What Just Happened?)
technology
- Support for multiple NOS options: Cumulus Linux, Onyx, SONiC, and
more
- Low latency (300ns) and high throughput (up to 3.2Tb/s)
MSN2700-CS2F Core Technology
The SN 2000 series is powered by the NVIDIA Spectrum ASIC, which enables
advanced features such as VXLAN routing, RoCE (RDMA over Converged
Ethernet), and programmable pipelines. The switches support Open
Ethernet standards, including ONIE (Open Network Install
Environment), allowing users to install their preferred network
operating system. This network switch series also features hardware-accelerated data movement and
congestion management, ideal for GPU-directed and machine learning
applications.
How It Works
The Spectrum SN2000 switches operate using a cut-through forwarding
mechanism, minimizing latency and ensuring consistent performance.
The fully shared packet buffer dynamically allocates resources to
congested ports, preventing packet loss and maintaining high
bandwidth. Advanced telemetry capabilities provide real-time
visibility into network performance, enabling proactive issue
resolution and optimized traffic management.
Applications
The SN 2000 series is ideal for a variety of data center applications,
including:
- Web-scale IT and cloud infrastructure
- Hyper-converged storage and data analytics
- High-performance computing (HPC) and AI/ML workloads
- Enterprise campus and remote networking
- Financial services and media/entertainment fabrics
