NVIDIA MGA100-HS2
Skyway InfiniBand-to-Ethernet Gateway appliance
The NVIDIA MGA100-HS2 Skyway Gateway is a high-performance InfiniBand-to-Ethernet Gateway appliance designed to bridge low-latency HPC clusters with broader Ethernet networks. Built for data centers, cloud providers, and AI infrastructure, this solution provides seamless, efficient, and scalable connectivity between compute and storage systems.
Features
As workloads evolve across HPC, AI, and data analytics, data centers increasingly need unified infrastructure that integrates the strengths of InfiniBand’s low-latency fabric with Ethernet’s widespread deployment. The Skyway MGA100-HS2 offers protocol translation between HDR/EDR InfiniBand and 100/200GbE Ethernet networks. It is optimized for applications like distributed training, storage disaggregation, and cloud bursting.
Advanced Options
The appliance uses advanced packet conversion engines to maintain wire-speed performance and quality of service (QoS). It ensures high availability and redundancy while being fully interoperable with NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand switches and ConnectX adapters. This makes it a strategic component in hybrid data center deployments.
