One of my CDN caching providers sent a Mellanox SN2700 with their servers. Seems to be running well. They manage them, I just give them rack, power, and a couple 10 gig links into my core
At this point, we may descend into a "what does SP mean" debate, but I am not at all surprised that CDN providers would like the Spectrum ASICs: they're excellent at pushing lots of bits, quickly. Because they lack buffer-laden features (by design) a lot of SPs - say, access ISPs - will stop and say, "What? This is a DC switch!" -- Tom
