HPE R4K41A - Slingshot 1U Switch for Cray System

Is your HPC networking solution able to meet your converged workload needs for today and tomorrow? HPE Slingshot provides a modern, high-performance interconnect for HPC and AI clusters that delivers high-bandwidth and low-latency for HPC, ML, and analytics applications by bringing together the specialized requirements of HPC-optimized fabrics with the ubiquity of Ethernet. This delivers a converged infrastructure with high-performance on both HPC simulation codes and native IP applications, with efficient scalable access to data sources. Building on Cray's specialized silicon, HPE Slingshot delivers consistent performance and low latency under load and at scale. This prepares you to efficiently service increasingly diverse users taking advantage of your HPC resources, and do so without overprovisioning bandwidth or deploying multiple systems to avoid congestion on your most demanding workloads.

What is new supporting point:
HPE Slingshot interconnect, the technology powering powerful HPE Cray supercomputers, is also offered in mainstream HPC clusters of HPE Apollo and HPE ProLiant compute nodes.
HPE Slingshot technologies overcome the barriers that have prevented Ethernet from delivering truly high performance on tightly-coupled HPC and AI/ML workloads.
