495420-001 Overview

The HP 495420-001 SPS Switch BLC 4x DDR/QDR InfiniBand is a high-performance interconnect solution designed specifically for HP BladeSystem environments and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. It provides four DDR/QDR InfiniBand ports, delivering 10Gbps per port in DDR mode and 20Gbps per port in QDR mode, ensuring ultra-low latency and extremely high throughput for server-to-server and server-to-storage communications.Built to integrate seamlessly into HP BladeSystem chassis, this switch enables dense, modular deployments where space efficiency and high-speed connectivity are critical. It supports full fabric management, allowing administrators to scale fabrics across multiple switches and nodes while maintaining low-latency performance. The switch is particularly suitable for parallel computing, clustered databases, and storage-intensive HPC workloads, where fast inter-node communication is essential.
