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
