Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between InfiniBand and Ethernet for AI clusters?
InfiniBand NDR 400G provides sub-microsecond latency and native RDMA for GPU-to-GPU communication, making it ideal for AI training. 400GbE Ethernet offers more flexible deployment options and is well-suited for inference workloads and general data center traffic.
What InfiniBand switches does SLYD offer?
SLYD offers NVIDIA Quantum-2 NDR 400G switches with up to 64 ports at 400Gb/s per port. Also available: HDR 200G and QDR options. Managed and unmanaged configurations with expert fabric design for AI and HPC clusters.
What is GPU Direct RDMA?
GPU Direct RDMA enables direct data transfer between GPU memory and network adapters, bypassing CPU overhead. This significantly reduces latency for AI training collective operations like all-reduce, improving training throughput by up to 30%.
What Smart NICs does SLYD provide?
SLYD offers NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs and ConnectX-7 adapters with up to 400Gb/s throughput. Features include hardware-accelerated RDMA, crypto offload, storage offload, and programmable packet processing for SDN/NFV applications.
Does SLYD provide network fabric design services?
Yes, SLYD provides expert network fabric design including topology planning, cable routing, performance modeling, and deployment support. Our certified engineers design multi-rail AI fabrics optimized for collective communication patterns.
What 400GbE and 800GbE switch options are available?
SLYD offers high-radix Ethernet switches from NVIDIA Spectrum-4, Arista 7060X6 and 7800R4 AI Spine, Juniper QFX5240 (64x 800GbE), and Cisco Nexus 9000. All support RoCEv2 for RDMA over Ethernet and are compatible with Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC) roadmaps for converged AI and storage fabrics.
How does SLYD secure AI training clusters?
SLYD deploys Fortinet FortiGate hyperscale NGFWs at the cluster perimeter and tenant boundaries. The FortiGate 7121F delivers multi-terabit firewall throughput with hardware-accelerated SPU processors, supporting zero-trust segmentation, encrypted-traffic inspection, and FortiAI integration for SOC automation across multi-tenant AI infrastructure.
What is Arista Etherlink and Ultra Ethernet?
Arista Etherlink is an AI networking platform aligned with the Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC) specification. It combines the Arista 7060X6 and 7800R4 platforms with EOS enhancements for AI workloads — lossless Ethernet, dynamic load balancing, and packet spraying — to deliver InfiniBand-class performance over standard Ethernet.
What is Juniper Apstra?
Juniper Apstra is an intent-based networking (IBN) platform that automates the design, deployment, and operation of data center fabrics. For AI clusters, Apstra validates leaf-spine topologies, generates configurations across multi-vendor switches, and continuously verifies that the running network matches the intended design.
