Prasad, You would be better off looking at the following:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-au/networking/ethernet/cable-accessories/ This will allow you to adapt from the QSFP+ 100GB transceiver down to a SFP+ 10GB transceiver and then use standard OM4 cable and Cisco 10GB transceivers at the other end. However I will also comment that using 10GB network for an all flash ESS is a bit like buying an F1 racing car and never taking it out of first gear. You would honestly be better investing in a single 100GB switch to at least build the ESS cluster at 100Gbit and getting the full potential bandwidth from your investment in NVMe Otherwise buy a FS5200 + 2 x86 servers and some scale licensing, because you are down rating the ESS3200 to less than 25% of its potential performance Regards, Andrew Beattie Technical Sales Specialist - Storage for Big Data & AI IBM Australia and New Zealand P. +61 421 337 927 E.
