How many ports does the IS5030 have and what type?

It features 36 QSFP ports in a 1RU chassis, each capable of 40Gb/s QDR InfiniBand. Ports support IBTA 1.2.1 compliance, adaptive routing, congestion control, and 9 virtual lanes (8 data + 1 management) for versatile connectivity.

What is the form factor and power requirements?

The IS5030 is a 1U rackmount chassis (1.75in height) with redundant hot-plug power supplies accepting 100-240VAC at 50-60Hz single phase. It includes replaceable fan drawers with reversible airflow and software-controlled speeds.

Does the IS5030 support low latency operations?

Yes, it achieves <100ns port-to-port latency, leveraging InfiniScale IV technology for ultra-low delay in fabrics. This is enhanced by granular QoS, congestion control, and a 48K entry forwarding database, optimizing HPC workloads.

What management features are available?

Management includes an integrated subnet manager agent, CLI/GUI interfaces, RS232 console port, and chassis tools for firmware, PSUs, fans, and ports. It supports up to 6 virtual subnets, threshold monitoring, and inband/outband management.

Is the IS5030 suitable for datacenter clusters?

Yes, as a stand-alone edge switch, it's ideal for top-of-rack leaf or small-medium clusters, offering 2.88Tb/s throughput, non-blocking design, and features like signal optimization for longer cables and reversible airflow for datacenter flexibility.
