The Switchtec PAX PCIe Gen3 Advanced Fabric switch family comprises programmable and high-reliability PCIe Gen3 switches supporting
high-performance PCIe fabric connectivity, multi-host sharing of single-root input/output virtualization (SR-IOV) endpoints, up to 96 lanes, 48 ports,
24 virtual switch partitions, and hot- and surprise-plug controllers for each port. The switch family also features advanced error containment, comprehensive diagnostics and debug capabilities, a wide breadth of I/O interfaces, and an integrated MIPS processor. PAX switches utilize a system-on-chip architecture that optionally enables customer-differentiated solutions through firmware customization and enhancements.
Applications for the PAX family include scalable multi-host systems, SR-IOV-enabled JBOFs, composable, disaggregated systems, and rack scale architectures.
