GBX460 is the world’s first rugged
6U OpenVPX Fully Managed Layer 2/3 10
Gigabit Ethernet switch module supporting
low latency, high throughput interprocessor
communication (IPC) aimed at deployed
defense and aerospace applications.
GBX460 delivers full wire-speed 10Gigabit
Ethernet switching that can be fully
managed via our OpenWare software.
Proven, high performance architecture and
a multilayer switching fabric provides a
rich feature set, broad functionality, scal-
ability, and product life longevity. Based on
a PowerPC management processor and a
leading high performance switch fabric, the
GBX460 has integrated Layer-2/3 switching
capabilities including support for IPv6 as
well as the ability to support higher Layer
4-7 functionality when required.
IPv6 brings improved security, reliability
and flexibility, enhanced support for mobile
computing devices, and larger address
space for global reach and scalability to
applications. In the near future, support for
IPv6 will be required for Military and Defense
customers, and because this switch also
supports IPv4 it offers a path forward which
protects existing investments.
GBX460 delivers any node to any node
connectivity between multiple computer
nodes to support the very latest (HPC)
Intel and NVIDIA GPGPU high performance
computing cluster architectures. Typical
applications include sensor and image
processing for a range of intelligence,
surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR)
platforms including radar and communica-
tions processing.
Designed to support GE Intelligent Platforms
market leading, rugged 6U OpenVPX
single board computers (SBCs) and GPGPU
processors,the GBX460 harnesses the
speed and flexibility of the very latest
10GigE switch fabric from Intel Fulcrum.
This innovative solution supports non-
blocking, low latency data transfers across
a multiprocessing cluster at up to full wire
speed enabling new levels of performance
for the most demanding ISR applications.
GE’s latest 6U OpenVPX products are avail-
able in air and conduction cooled variants
providing a clear choice for size, weight
and
power (SWaP) sensitive HPC applica-
tions. In addition, it has the flexibility to
support high speed sensor I/O over 10GigE
and system scaling from one to many
compute nodes on airborne, ground vehicle
and naval platforms to meet the most
demanding mission profiles.
The extremely fast boot time for the
GBX460 enables it to meet the needs of
customer applications that require their
network to be passing traffic in the shortest
period of time after power-on.
