Figure 3. IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 Networking

The IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 has two adapters per server canister that consists of the following

features:
• AJZL: CX-6 InfiniBand/VPI in PCIe form factor

– InfiniBand - HDR200 200 Gb / HDR100 100 Gb / EDR 100 Gb
– Ethernet - 100 GbE

• AJZN: CX-6 DX in PCIe form factor (Ethernet - 100 GbE)
You can configure ESS 3200 in a mixed cluster where other ESS products are used. The following figure

shows the ESS network topology of a mixed ESS cluster that contains ESS 5000, ESS 3200, and ESS 3000

systems.
