Topspin offers the industry's most complete switched computing solution.

Topspin 90
The entry-level Topspin 90 enables IT managers to build cost-effective 10Gbps server clusters for distributed databases and high-performance computing. With its built-in expansion slot, the Topspin 90 can be easily expanded to include an Ethernet or Fibre Channel gateway.

Topspin 120
The Topspin 120 Server Switch provides an ideal combination of price, performance, and packaging for building high-performance computing clusters. Fully non-blocking, with embedded subnet management, the Topspin 120 provides either 24 ports of 10Gbps connectivity or 8 ports of 30Gbps connectivity in a single, compact 1U chassis.

Topspin 170
The Topspin 170 is a scalable InfiniBand switching solution for high-performance computing applications. Fully non-blocking, the Topspin 170 provides up to 96 10Gbps (4X) InfiniBand ports is a single chassis. Configurable in 12 port increments and cascade-able for scalability, the Topspin 170 provides an ideal building block for clusters ranging in size from tens-to thousands of nodes.

Topspin 270
The Topspin 270 provides the industry's only InfiniBand switch designed to maximize reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS). With fully redundant, hot-pluggable components and hitless failover, the Topspin 270 provides a director-class 96-port 4x or 32 port 12X switch for building scalable, highly available clusters. Additionally, when combined with either the Topspin 90 or Topspin 360 and their Ethernet and Fibre Channel gateways, customers can provide seamless connectivity between the high-performance server cluster and its LANs and SANs.

Topspin 360
The Topspin 360 provides unprecedented levels of availability, scalability, and manageability for deploying server area networks and on-demand computing. Switch modules provide multiple terabits of internal bandwidth, and modular expansion modules enable up to 72 ports of Fibre Channel, Ethernet, and/or InfiniBand in a single enclosure, providing "pay-as-you-grow" scalability.

Topspin EX Ethernet Gateway
The Topspin Ethernet Gateway extends the value of server clusters to the rest of the enterprise by providing seamless connectivity to existing IP networks. By simply adding expansion modules, IT managers can add virtual Ethernet adapters, aggregated uplinks, and centralized TCP offload to every server interconnected via the Topspin 360 or Topspin 90.

Fibre Channel Gateway
The Topspin Fibre Channel Gateway aggregates and virtualizes Fibre Channel connectivity for server clusters, improving SAN scalability, reducing management pain, and increasing data availability. Configuration and maintenance is simplified with features such as remote system upgrades and system logging.

Host Channel Adapter
The Topspin 10Gbps Host Channel Adapter offers high-performance connectivity to InfiniBand-based server area networks. Used in conjunction with the Topspin Server Switching System, the Topspin HCA creates a unified, low-latency fabric for combining IPC, networking, and storage communications.

Upper-layer Protocols
Topspin provides a full suite of communications protocols required to run existing and optimized applications over a switched computing environment. This includes IP-over-IB for legacy applications, SCSI remote protocol (SRP) for storage traffic, as well as direct access protocols, including MPI, SDP, uDAPL and VIPL which offload the communications stack from the server kernel to provide dramatic increases in cluster performance and scalability.

Integrated Subnet Manager
Topspin provides a full-featured and embedded subnet manager as a standard feature across each all of its system products. The subnet manager provides the intelligence required to transparently handle system discovery, setup, addressing and routing. The subnet manager includes robust command line interface (CLI) and graphical user interface (GUI) management interfaces, along with SNMP interface for full integration into existing storage and network management utilities.

VFrame
VFrameT is the industry's first truly open solution for utility computing. With this software suite and Topspin switches, data center managers can build their own utility computing data center out of industry-standard servers, storage, applications, and management tools. VFrame seamlessly integrates these components across Topspin's standards-based server switching infrastructure.
