Which type of InfiniBand switch is used in a multi-brick XtremIO X2-R array?

In a multi-brick XtremIO X2-R array, a 36 port InfiniBand switch is used. This type of switch provides

the necessary number of ports to accommodate the connectivity requirements of a multi-brick

configuration, ensuring high-speed data transfer and communication between the bricks and other

components of the storage array1.

The InfiniBand switch plays a crucial role in the XtremIO X2-R’s architecture, as it allows for the

interconnection of multiple bricks, which collectively contribute to the array’s performance and

scalability. The 36 port switch ensures that there are enough ports available for current use and

potential future expansion1.
