COMPLETE SERVER SWITCHING SOLUTION
The Cisco SFS 7008P is a part of the Cisco SFS 7000 Series of InfiniBand server switches which, combined with the Cisco Catalyst 6000 Series
switches and Cisco MDS 9000 Series switches deliver a comprehensive, industry-leading data center switching solution. The Cisco SFS solution
also includes integrated Ethernet and Fiber Channel gateway modules, and 10-Gbps InfiniBand host channel adapters (HCAs) with a complete suite
of upper-layer protocols: IP over InfiniBand, Messaging Passing Interface (MPI), Sockets Direct Protocol (SDP), SCSCI RDMA Protocol (SRP),
and user Data Access Provider Layer (uDAPL). The Cisco SFS 7008P shares common switch software with all the other Cisco SFS 7000 and SFS
3000 series server switches, offering a clear growth path while protecting existing investments.
