View Network Adapters »Which NVIDIA Quantum Switch Do I Need?
The right Quantum switch depends on InfiniBand generation, port speed, port count, managed or unmanaged operation, airflow direction, adapter choice, cabling distance and whether the deployment is built around HDR, NDR or newer XDR requirements.
Gbics can help identify the correct Quantum switch model, airflow option, adapter pairing and optical or copper connectivity for your deployment.
