Gnodal from Arrow ECS


GS4008

High Port Count

40 SFP+ and 8 QSFP ports, 1U top-of-rack Ethernet switch enables network consolidation at minimal cost

Ultra-low Latency Sub 150ns port-to-port with extremely low jitter, ideal for latency sensitive applications

High Throughput 1.5 Tb/s non-blocking throughput and forwarding capacity exceeding 1 Bpps. Ideal for bandwidth hungry, data-intensive applications in High Performance Data Centers

Scalability to Thousands of Ports Unique top-of-rack switch due to its flexibility as edge or fabric device, 40 GbE support, arbitrarily wide link aggregation and MAC addressing up to 52 million entries, provides a cost-effective migration path to future capabilities that protect investment

Layer2+ Service differentiation, lossless transmission, highly efficient multicast and unicast increases overall application efficiency

Minimised TCO Typical power consumption of 1.6W per port substantially reduces operating costs. Reliability and serviceability are ensured with hot-swappable, redundant PSUs and fans

Standardisation SFP+ fiber or copper cables, open-sourced from third-party vendors or directly from Gnodal. Switch management, based on the Aricent™ Intelligent Switch Solution provides an extensible and reliable protocol stack from an industry leader

Gnodal GS-Series Based on the Gnodal Peta ASIC, the GS4008 is part of the Gnodal GS-Series 10 and 40 GbE switches for the High Performance Data Center. Gnodal derive their extreme performance capability from a revolutionary architectural design that eliminates network congestion within multi-chassis configurations, delivering optimum performance at minimum cost and power consumption.
