I don't know very much about using that specific switch with 10GbE and Ceph. Having said that, Mellanox switches are pretty fast and often used in HPC deployments. I'd expect it should be good from a stability/performance point of view, at least on the IB side. If you aren't familiar with IB, make sure to understand how it differs from Ethernet, especially as it relates to network topology. It's cheap and fast, but not always easy to setup if you've got a lot of existing infrastructure.

Hi,
I'm looking for a fast and cheap 10gbe ethernet switch.

I just found this:

Mellanox SX1012
http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=163&mtag=sx1012

48port 10Gbe | 12ports 46gbit for around 5000€.

Seem that infiniband (roce) is also available.


Does somebody use it for ceph ? if yes, what about stability|performance ?

with comming rdma support in ceph, it seem to be the perfect solution (and 
price is very good).
