Supermicro SSE-T8164SR 800Gbps Data Center Switch OSFP Offers 64 Ports Reverse Airflow

Supermicro SSE-T8164 switch is a high through-put, low-latency Ethernet switch that comes with 64 800G OSFP ports and 2 25G SFP28 ports in a compact 2 RU form factor. The switch provides the highest density of 800G Ethernet ports with 51.2 Tbps of switching capacity making it highly suitable for building large flat scale-out network fabrics. The SSE-T8164 high-performance switch has been designed to meet the complex requirements of AI data center networks. The cutting-edge switch silicon in the SSE-T8164 and the software comes with advanced features that are needed for ensuring faster job completion time in large AI training networks. The switch can inter-operate with all the latest AI accelerators and industry standard fiber optic and copper cables, making it a great choice for all the standard AI cluster designs architectures. The switch supports Direct Attached Copper (DAC) cables up to 4 meters in length which facilitate building dense low-power cost-effective AI training clusters.

The 800G ports in the SSE-T8164 are flexible and can be broken down to 400G, 200G, 100G using breakout cables. The choice of multiple port speeds from 25G to 800G and the advanced software features enables the switch to operate at all the tiers, as a leaf, spine or a border leaf in a multi-tier CLOS network fabric. SSE-T8164 is a versatile switch that is suitable for building networks of all sizes for various use cases, from smaller enterprise data centers to large scale AI/ML training and hyper scale cloud networks.

SSE-T8164 switches run the Supermicro Advanced Enterprise SONiC Operating system which provides a range of features needed for different types of applications such as enterprise, AI/ML, and high-performance computing and cloud computing . In addition to the standard layer 2, layer 3 and tunneling features, it supports advanced features like RoCEv2, packet spraying, Dynamic load balancing coupled with advanced traffic engineering and QoS features making SSE-T8164 is an optimal solution for building large-scale high performance low-latency AI networks. The Supermicro Enterprise SONiC Operating system can be configured using industry standard CLI, REST/gNMI etc. and can work with all industry standard management applications.

The SSE-T8164 provides both front to back and back to front airflow options. The switch is air cooled and has been designed with Direct Liquid Cooling capability as well which can be used to significantly reduce the power consumption and building energy efficient networks. The switch comes with a choice of AC and DC power supply options, and the included rail kit facilitates simple and easy installation of the switch.
