White box switches and networking devices provide enterprises with vendor-neutral hardware that can run open-source or third-party network operating systems, enabling scalability and operational efficiency. 📊
Alternative to Infiniband used in ChatGPT: Asterfusion Ultra-Low-Latency Switches
In 2019, Microsoft pledged to invest a whopping $1 billion in OpenAI and committed to constructing an enormous supercomputer for the cutting-edge AI startup.
AI computing cluster networks on a vast scale, such as ChatGPT, often involve thousands of GPU cards. As AI large-scale model training has inherent requirements, there’s minimal room for optimizing costs on the computing power side.
Not long ago, Microsoft’s Vice President of Cloud Computing and AI, Scott Guthrie, revealed that the company dedicated hundreds of millions of dollars to this ambitious project which combined the power of tens of thousands of Nvidia A100 GPUs with the Azure cloud computing platform.
However, if an alternative solution with comparable performance to InfiniBand can be found for the networking aspect—thus reducing initial investments and operational costs—it might be very worth considering.
Asterfusion Neworks could be your quality choice of ultra-low-latency switches. Proven nearly half ExPo but 90%+ performance compared to InfiniBand switches.

Asterfusion Networks is the leading provider of open networking infrastructure solutions. We provide an open, disaggregated, and highly programmable network fabric for next generation data centers and campus with white-box switching.
At the early stages of cloud computing, cloud network architecture was modeled after the traditional campus network. However, market demand has driven the cloud network to undergo significant changes over the past two decades.
Today, the cloud network has surpassed the traditional campus network in terms of network architecture, hardware equipment, scalability, and operation& maintenance capabilities. If the advanced network architecture and technical highlights of the cloud are introduced to the campus, what changes will it bring?
Today, Asterfusion has introduced cloud-based open architecture back to campus network. The CLOS based Spine-Leaf architecture retains the advantages of stacking ones and can also solve some drawbacks of them.
This article will explore how Asterfusion’s new cloud cluster campus network addresses the shortcomings of the traditional stack architecture to achieve even higher reliability and scalability.
