Features and Benefits

The Fabric Advantage

Each HPE Composable Fabric FM 3132Q features variable fabric capacity using either eight  QSFP28 optical interfaces or up to sixteen QSFP28 optical interfaces delivering up to 800-1600 Gbps full-duplex bandwidth creating programmable scalable meshed networks.

HPE Composable Fabric FM 3132Q uses QSFP28 optics which when combined with an optical passive interconnect FM 1006 create a mesh between rack connectivity modules that is completely controllable by software through Composable Fabric Manager. Module-to-Module cabling is greatly simplified with two connections per rack connectivity module.

Multi-Layered Network Architecture

The full potential of optical switching is unleashed by Composable Fabric's multi-layered network architecture that delivers efficient layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3 network topologies to critical application workloads. HPE Composable Fabric FM 3132Q provide layer 2 and layer 3 network topologies as part of the Composable Fabric network architecture. The optical interfaces create a highly meshed, multipath network fabric with multiple direct and indirect paths between modules. HPE Composable Fabric Manager software, which understands the physical and logical network topology, as well as the application and data workload requirements, establishes a network, where individual workloads receive their own portion of the network at each network layer.

Dynamic Topologies

In conjunction with the centralized HPE Composable Fabric Manager platform, the HPE Composable Fabric provides intelligent and adaptive technology that ensures workloads always have access to the most optimal network paths. HPE Composable Fabric Manager provides both the integration platform, as well as a set of HPE-developed API level integrations that automate workflows based on the included sensors, actions and triggers for 3rd party orchestration systems.  

HPE Composable Fabric connectivity modules intelligently select the best network paths for workloads that have resource requirements or explicit constraints defined by the integrations. 

Less sensitive workloads without explicitly defined constraints are efficiently forwarded across the available direct and indirect paths created by the network fabric. Based on HPE residual fit algorithms, HPE Composable Fabric Manager dynamically fits non-affinitized traffic. Unlike typical multipath networks, which might utilize a maximum of 16 or 32 IP based equal cost paths between switch ports, HPE Composable Fabric Manager can intelligently select from hundreds of non-interfering, nonequal paths across the highly diverse HPE Composable Fabric at layer 1, 2 or 3. As a result, HPE creates unprecedented efficiency, delivering higher performance with greater flexibility than traditional access/aggregation/core hierarchical networking solutions.

Scale Out, Not Up

HPE Composable Fabric FM 3132Q physically interconnect using its QSFP28 ports to create a very dense, full or partial mesh between connectivity modules. This creates a more cost effective and power efficient network architecture than traditional tree or leaf-and-spine hierarchical networks can achieve. The mesh architecture enables linear scaling, with each additional switch adding fabric capacity, resiliency and multi-path options. HPE Composable Fabric connectivity modules create network fabrics ranging from a few server racks in size to a large capacity cloud data center. The linear build-out offers predictable economics and capacity growth in true scale-out fashion. With an out of the box default access to fabric oversubscription ratio of 2:1, the FM 2072 provides cost-effective performance for up to 48 10GbE server and storage connections.

Latest Switching Technology

HPE Composable Fabric delivers a unique fabric design that is not constrained by the legacy aggregation and spine boundaries, however if the traditional leaf and spine network design is required FM 3132Q rack connectivity module can be configured in a spine configuration providing full 32 port, 3.2Tbit/sec spine capacity using FM 3180 or other rack connectivity modules as leafs. Whichever configuration is chosen, Composable Fabric conforms to the LS protocols (pass-thru mode) and can be connected to the existing

network infrastructure.

HPE Composable Fabric FM 3132Q are based on the latest available commercial switching technology providing line rate forwarding. It provides up to 288,000 MAC table entries, 324,000 IPv4 and 168,000 IPv6 routing entries, sub500 nanosecond L2 and L3 swithching latency, full Data Center Bridging support and increased packet buffer allocation capabilities leading to improved congestion performance. This leading-edge silicon technology also provides full support for VXLAN and NVGRE overlay networks, with the ability to perform overlay to traditional network gateway functions, as well as optimized packet distribution algorithms based on VXLAN and NVGRE packet formats.

Network Deployments

HPE Composable Fabric delivers very flexible deployment models. Composable Fabric's deployments involve QSFP ports whose location and the amount varies per rack connectivity module's flavor. These ports connect to QSFP ports on another connectivity module for a direct connect, alternatively leaf and spine configuration can be created where FM 3132Q acts as a spine module. For simplified cabling and where there are more than 6 connectivity modules involved, FM 1006 is used.

simplified cabling and where there are more than 6 connectivity modules involved, FM 1006 is used.

HPE Composable Fabric FM 3132Q network deployments involve eight or up to sixteen QSFP28 ports that are located at the right side of I/O end of the module. These ports connect to an FM 1006 interconnect or to QSFP ports on another FM 3132Q for a direct connect network:

• Direct Connect for four FM 3132Q modules or less. 

- Directly connect FM 3132Q modules together using a QSFP28-to-QSFP28 cable such as a Direct Attach Cable (DAC) or Active Optical Cable (AOC). Avoid directly connecting FM 3132Q modules in a network if the deployment is expected to grow beyond four switches. 

• Optical-based FM 1006 passive solution for six FM 3132Q modules or more.

- Connect all FM 3132Q modules to an FM 1006 passive interconnect module. Plug each FM 3132Q into the FM 1006 using the HPE-supplied cable. The passive FM 1006 device creates the mesh structure of an HPE Composable Fabric.

Leaf and Spine Deployment

When fabric manager computes the tree topologies for the modules, it uses 'proof by contradiction" to guarantee those trees are loop free which allows modules to be wired arbitrarily, including mesh and Leaf and Spine configurations. Leaf and Spine configuration involves FM 3032Q* that acts as a spine module.

Fabric Interconnect with FM 1006

The FM 1006 device is a passive optical module that uses HPE Composable Fabric optical interfaces to create a meshed fabric.  

Fabrics of up to six rack connectivity modules (four minimum) require connecting the modules to a FM 1006 passive interconnect.  

The FM 1006 creates a meshed network between the HPE Composable Fabric rack connectivity modules, which is used by HPE Composable Fabric Manager to create forwarding topologies based on Affinities. All values of the Composable Fabric solution are preserved in this deployment. As a passive device, the FM 1006 consumes no power and as such has failure behaviors that are similar to, or better than, fiber patch panels. FM 1006s can be connected together to create larger networks.   

With 3 simple MPO cables, FM 1006 can be extended to provide a single implementation of a meshed network for the attached rack connectivity modules. In increments of 6 rack connectivity modules, any sized Composable Fabric network can be created.
