The Intel Omni-Path Director Switches are based on the Intel Omni-Path Architecture. The Intel Omni-Path Architecture is designed for interconnecting the High Performance Computing (HPEC) system resources, using a scalable, 100 Gbps, low-latency fabric. The Intel Omni-Path Director Switches effectively supports clusters with thousands of servers; larger fabrics are possible when the Director Switches are combined with the Intel Omni-Path 1U Edge Switches.
