I’m looking for recommendations on 40GbE QSFP+ or faster switches.
It will be used for S2D Clusters so needs to be fully managed and support DCB, PFC and RDMA. I would prefer something with a GUI, or at least a CLI menu (like the HP switches), 16 – 36 Ports
Used reliable enterprise sub $1000 each.
I am currently using Mellanox MCX354-FCBT cards for our 56Gb Infiniband and have spares to be used for the Ethernet. I was hoping to find a Mellanox switch but there seem to be no cheap MSX1036s. Been using the Mellanox Infiniband switches for years so I am familiar with their GUI.
I started reading on the Celestica switches but it seems the ones on eBay you have to install a Linux OS to get a GUI and I am not sure how difficult a task that is.
Frankly there’s just so much information here on the forum that I was hoping those of you who have gone this direction could help narrow it down.
