9024FC
QLogic’s 9024 family of Edge Fabric Switches is
designed to provide a compact 1U solution for use in building small
node count fabrics or for use as edge or leaf components together
with QLogic's 9xx0 Fabric Directors in constructing large fabrics
that can scale to thousands of nodes. |

The
SilverStorm 9024
The SilverStorm 9024 is a high performance 24-port InfiniBand®
switch that enables the construction of high-speed, low latency
computer clusters to power many of today’s business applications
such as:
• Computer grid/virtualization
• Modeling and simulation
• Clustered database
• Oil and gas reservoir simulation
• Computational fluid dynamics
• Research/computational clustering
InfiniBand provides significant competitive advantages to companies
by enabling reductions in time-to-market and more fine-grained
data analysis.
There are two 9024 models supporting 10 Gbps or 20 Gbps. They
can be used to construct small InfiniBand fabrics, or as an
edge or leaf switch in larger fabrics. These multi-tier fabrics
can then deliver the productivity and performance metrics demanded
by computationally intensive environments, even as fabrics scale
to very high node counts.
The 9024 is just one part of the QLogic® product family
that includes the modular 9120 (with 12 option slots) and 9240
(with 24 option slots) switch gateway systems—all boasting
non-blocking, Full Bisectional Bandwidth (FBB) that can satisfy
even the most demanding clustering applications.
Intelligent Building Blocks for Scaling Fabrics
The 9024 can be integrated with QLogic switch gateway systems
as part of a larger computing cluster. This provides access
to all 9024 attached servers from the I/O gateways supported
in the modular systems. Without additional server-based network
adapters, access is provided to a pool of shared Fibre Channel
and Ethernet network resources. QLogic provides the lowest cost
and the lowest power consolidation of cluster, Ethernet, and
Fibre Channel networks.
Robust Design for the Enterprise
Built for mission-critical application, the SilverStorm 9024
features redundant, hot-swappable power and cooling elements
with the ability to non-disruptively upgrade the operating code.
Configuration and Fabric Management
All QLogic products are managed by the QuickSilver OS management
and QLogic’s FastFabric Toolset. Together these management
tools provide system and fabric level management with a consistent
user interface for topology, configuration, performance, and
fabric diagnostics across the entire QLogic InfiniBand product
portfolio.
