Highlights
The SX1012X switch system provides a 10GbE top-of-rack (ToR) solution in a half-width 1U form factor.

The SX1012X is an ideal 10GbE TOR switch. It offers twelve 1/10GbE ports in a unique half-width, 1 rack unit (RU) form factor. For deployments requiring high availability, two SX1012Xs can be deployed side-byside in a 1RU rack space.

The unique port count and form factor make the SX1012X the perfect fit for a rack with several Storage/ Compute nodes.

The SX1012X switch has a rich set of networking and application performance features that excel and enable Software Defined Networking in any data center, making this switch the perfect solution for your network.

SwitchX®-2 carries a unique design that enables users with a straight forward platform for implementation of a Software Defined Network, allowing the construction of a high scale network with advanced fine tuning control plane capabilities. The SX1012X provides a full suite of management options, including support for Mellanox's NEO™, SNMP V1,2,3, and web user interfaces. In addition, the SX1012X incorporates a familiar industry-standard CLI, which enables administrators to easily configure the switch.

To ensure long term applicability, the SX1012X is provisioned to enhance its current capabilities with additional L2 and L3 features through software upgrades.

WORLD-CLASS DESIGN

The SX1012X carries a unique design to accommodate the highest performance at a small form factor.

The unique design allows placement of two switches positioned side-by-side in a standard 19 rack to occupy 1RU height with high availability from the Network Interface Card level.

The SX1012X is available as reverse or forward airflow, allowing the switch to fit into data centers with different thermal designs and redundant power supplies and fans, providing yet another level of high availability for the application running within the pod.

Status LEDs for fans and power supply units are placed on both sides of the system for easy status identification. Quick start guide, rack mount kit, AC power cord and RJ45 console cable are provided as part of the standard system providing an easy out-of-the-box experience.
