Cost-effective switch platform with a choice of Software Defined Networking options

Penguin Arctica switches are cost effective L2/L3 top-of-rack switches. Arctica switch-es are based on industry leading ‘merchant silicon’: The Broadcom Trident II chipset used in switches from all major switch vendors. Unlike the switch offerings from established tier 1 vendors Arctica switches are truly open, enabling customer to deploy the firmwarestack or SDN solution best suited for the envi-ronment.

The Arctica 3200xl is a 32 Port 1U Top of Rack Data Center 40 GbE switch with advanced DCB features. Serviceability features include redundant fans and power supplies. Penguin Arctica product line includes also full list of ca-bling and transceiver options for copper and optical connectivity.

Penguin Computing recommends Cumulus Linux, the industry’s first true Linux network operating system that radically reduces oper-ational expenses by simplifying networkman-agement. Penguin Arctica switches are avail-able with Cumulus Linux preloaded, backed by hardware and software support options.

Penguin Computing specializes in delivering turn-key High Performance Com-puting clusters and Data Center systems that include software solutions for cluster and workload management, high performance interconnects, storage systems and a power delivery infrastructure. All components are integrated in rack enclosures, configured for optimal performance by Penguin’s HPC experts and ready to use.

Penguin systems are tested for compatibility with all major commercial and freely available Linux distributions and are available with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server or CentOS pre-installed. For information, please contact:
