The PEX9700 series of switches, based on PCIe Gen3 and using ExpressFabric, can dramatically increase performance and availability by allowing each device in a rack to communicate over PCIe, eliminating the inherent latency and power usage caused by components required to convert host PCIe data for other protocols.
The result is a rack of devices that have converged into a single high-performance, scalable and high-availability compute solution.
The switch chips dramatically improve performance while reducing power consumption and cost by 50% for the most demanding hyper-converged, NVMe, and rack scale systems.
