Performance and Scalability

High Throughput and Low Latency

At the heart of the SN4410 is an ultra-efficient switching engine capable of delivering up to 8.0 Tbps of switching capacity.

Combined with a packet processing rate of 8.4 Bpps, this switch ensures consistent, line-rate performance under the most demanding data loads.

Whether handling massive data pipelines for AI inference or serving latency-sensitive applications in financial services, the SN4410 ensures zero packet loss and maximum responsiveness.

Flexible Port Configurations

The SN4410 features:

• 24 QSFP-DD28 ports for 100GbE connectivity (also backward compatible with 40/25/10GbE via breakout cables)
• 8 QSFP-DD ports for 400GbE uplinks, enabling seamless connection to spine or super-spine layers

This architecture allows enterprises to gradually scale their 400GbE infrastructure while continuing to support their existing 100GbE and 25GbE assets, providing a clear upgrade path without costly rip-and-replace projects.

Cloud-Scale Network Readiness

Optimized for Leaf and Spine Architectures

The SN4410 fits perfectly into leaf/spine or super-spine topologies, allowing horizontal scalability without compromising performance or manageability.

It offers full wire-speed switching for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 environments and is optimized for east-west traffic flows in hyperconverged and containerized data centers.

Automation and SDN Integration

With native support for modern network programmability, SN4410 is designed for Software-Defined Networking (SDN). It supports:

• REST APIs for custom automation
• VXLAN and EVPN for network virtualization
• MLAG for active-active redundancy
• Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for rapid deployment
• Telemetry & streaming analytics for real-time visibility

These features significantly reduce operational complexity while improving network agility and resilience.

Operating System Flexibility

The SN4410 is compatible with three robust operating environments:

• NVIDIA Onyx: A full-featured, enterprise-grade network OS offering advanced telemetry, security, and Layer 2/3 capabilities.
• Cumulus Linux: A Linux-based, open networking OS known for its programmability and seamless integration into DevOps workflows.
• ONIE (Open Network Install Environment): Enables flexible OS installation and customization, making SN4410 compatible with a broad range of open networking solutions.

This OS flexibility allows organizations to tailor the SN4410 to fit their specific operational needs and workflow automation strategies.

Hardware Design and Power Efficiency

Despite its powerful capabilities, the SN4410 is designed for efficiency and compactness. Its 1U form factor minimizes space usage in crowded data center racks.

The hardware is built using high-efficiency components that deliver excellent thermal performance and low power consumption critical for sustainable scale-out deployments.

Interface and Connectivity

• QSFP-DD28 (100GbE): Ensures compatibility with modern and legacy server hardware. Supports breakout to 4x 25GbE or 2x 50GbE.
• QSFP-DD (400GbE): Allows high-capacity uplinks for next-generation workloads and AI data lakes.
• Backward compatibility: Provides support for multiple speeds including 10/25/40/50/100/200/400GbE.

This diverse connectivity makes the SN4410 a flexible networking core for heterogeneous data center environments.

Ideal Use Cases

The SN4410 is engineered for a wide range of demanding enterprise and cloud environments, including:

• Cloud-Scale Infrastructure: Delivers the bandwidth and scale required for cloud-native applications.
• AI and Machine Learning: Supports high-throughput, low-latency data movement between AI accelerators and storage.
• Big Data and Analytics: Handles massive data flows across distributed compute clusters.
• Edge and Colocation Data Centers: Compact design makes it ideal for space-constrained facilities.
• Financial Services: Enables sub-microsecond latency for algorithmic trading and high-frequency workloads.
• Hyperscale Environments: Easily scales across thousands of nodes while maintaining network performance.
