The Mellanox SN2700 provides high-density leaf switching for enterprise data centres that need end-to-end 100GbE in the rack. Its 32 QSFP28 ports and Layer 3 design help teams build low-latency fabrics that improve bandwidth and simplify scaling.

As server, storage and accelerator traffic grows, racks need native 100GbE connectivity that keeps the fabric simple while preserving headroom for dense workloads.
The Mellanox SN2700 is a 1U leaf switch for production environments that need 100GbE at the rack edge, including top-of-rack, leaf and compact spine roles. Its 32×QSFP28 port layout gives infrastructure teams a straightforward way to connect high-bandwidth hosts and storage without moving to a larger switching tier.
With 100G maximum port speed across the box, the platform suits fabrics where breakout remains important and lower-speed leaf designs no longer match the workload. It can also be deployed on Onyx or Cumulus Linux, giving teams flexibility in how they align the switch with their operating model.
This makes the SN2700 a practical fit for environments that need more bandwidth per rack, cleaner host-to-switch design, and a clear path for growth. It supports faster data movement while helping keep switching architecture compact and manageable.
Speak with our team about the Mellanox SN2700 and how it can fit your leaf or compact-spine deployment requirements.
The Mellanox SN2700 is a high-performance data centre switch for leaf-spine and aggregation environments, designed to provide scalable connectivity, operational flexibility, and high-capacity forwarding for modern infrastructure.
32-Port High-Density Design
The platform provides 32×QSFP28 ports to support dense server and switch interconnects in a compact switching form factor.
6400 Gbps Switching Fabric
The switch delivers 6400 Gbps of switching capacity to sustain high-throughput traffic flows across the fabric.
Leaf-Spine Connectivity Model
Its port density and forwarding capacity suit leaf-spine topologies that require scalable east-west bandwidth.
Flexible High-Speed Uplinks
QSFP28 connectivity supports high-speed uplink design for aggregation and fabric expansion.
Onyx and Cumulus Options
The platform supports Onyx and Cumulus Linux, giving operators choice in network operating system alignment.
Consistency Across Deployments
A common hardware platform can be aligned to different operational models without changing the switch architecture.
Infrastructure Integration
The switch can be fitted into existing data centre operational practices while preserving a standardised forwarding platform.
If you are planning high-density fabric expansion or need help aligning switch architecture with your operating model, our Mellanox networking specialists can help define the right SN2700 deployment approach.
The Nvidia Mellanox SN2700 is a 1U 100GbE switch for environments that have outgrown 25GbE rack designs but do not need a 200GbE fabric step-up. It fits end-to-end leaf or compact-spine roles where bandwidth, port density and straightforward operations matter.
In general data centre builds, the SN2700 helps when server, storage and accelerator traffic needs a clean move to 100GbE at the rack edge. Teams use it to keep fabrics simple while preserving breakout flexibility.
Media and entertainment teams can deploy the SN2700 where render nodes, caches and storage systems pass large assets continuously. It reduces the congestion that often appears once 25GbE links start slowing production workflows.
Healthcare environments with imaging or genomics platforms need fast movement of large files between compute and storage. The SN2700 suits these clusters when 25GbE is no longer comfortable, but 200GbE would be excessive.
Finance teams running analytics, market-data or simulation workloads often want deterministic 100GbE close to compute. The SN2700 keeps the rack edge from becoming the bottleneck and supports higher-throughput flows without overbuilding the core.
Software development labs use the SN2700 for AI, benchmarking and high-performance test clusters that need real 100GbE infrastructure. It gives teams enough bandwidth for GPU and data pipelines without moving to a 200GbE fabric.
Our team can help design and deploy Mellanox SN2700 switching for data centres, media production, healthcare research, finance and software development environments that need practical 100GbE fabric capacity.
