SBM-OPA-C4020 100-Gb Omni-path Switch Module
The SBM-OPA-C4020 is a 100-Gb OPA switch module that is hot-pluggable. Omni-Path
Architecture (OPA) leverages the Intel Scalable System Framework (SSF) to address
evolving demands across high performance data analytics, machine learning,
visualization, traditional modeling and simulation workloads. The OPA switch is based
on point-to-point bi-directional serial link systems. This module provides high-speed
interconnectivity among the blade modules, and to other external OPA peripherals.
This module supports up to twenty (20) internal (100-Gb) and twenty-four (24) external
QSFP28 connectors. See
