Introduction

NVIDIA Spectrum Ethernet Switches

NVIDIA Spectrum™ Ethernet switches accelerate networking for all layers of software and hardware. Fully standards-based Ethernet, they power NVIDIA Spectrum-X™ Ethernet for AI and support both traditional, pluggable, optical connectivity and groundbreaking co-packaged silicon photonics networking. Spectrum Ethernet switches enable operational efficiency with a wide variety of network operating system choices, including NVIDIA® Cumulus® Linux and Pure SONiC. Spectrum Ethernet switches also offer innovative digital twins with NVIDIA DSX Air and network visibility through NVIDIA NetQ™.
