374933-001 HPE Managed Switch

High-Density Rackmount InfiniBand Layer 2 Switch Platform with the 374933-001

The 374933-001 is an HPE rackmount, standalone managed Layer 2 switching platform designed for InfiniBand fabrics where deterministic east-west connectivity and predictable forwarding behavior are critical. Deployed as a 19-inch full-width chassis, the 374933-001 targets cluster interconnect and Top-of-Rack aggregation roles, providing a controlled switching domain for InfiniBand-attached compute and storage nodes.

Architecturally, the 374933-001 emphasizes fabric stability and operational clarity rather than multi-service convergence. Its 28 x SFP interfaces at 1Gb/s per port enable structured port mapping for small to mid-scale lab, development, or edge fabrics that require managed L2 segmentation and streamlined link administration. Active cooling supports sustained operation in rack environments with variable inlet temperatures, while the absence of PoE and wireless functions reduces non-essential complexity for data centre interconnect use cases. For engineers standardizing on InfiniBand switching domains, the 374933-001 provides a focused platform for building repeatable, serviceable fabrics.

Why Choose the 374933-001?

The 374933-001 delivers a practical density-to-control balance for InfiniBand switching in constrained racks, allowing administrators to scale port counts without overextending into features that do not benefit HPC-style traffic patterns. With a managed Layer 2 model, the 374933-001 supports consistent deployment logic across lab and production-adjacent fabrics, reinforcing reliability through a dedicated chassis design and straightforward operational boundaries.

HPE engineering prioritizes enterprise lifecycle management, predictable platform behavior, and alignment with modern rack standards. The 374933-001 reflects this approach through a purpose-built switching appliance design intended to integrate cleanly into structured cabling, validated cooling practices, and disciplined change control processes.

Key Applications:

• HPC cluster InfiniBand interconnect
• Top-of-Rack InfiniBand aggregation
• Lab and development InfiniBand fabrics
