Supermicro SBM-IBS-Q3618M

Supermicro SBM-IBS-Q3618M is a specialized networking module engineered for use within Supermicro modular or blade-based infrastructures. It is intended to provide high-density connectivity and optimized data paths for data center and enterprise environments where space, power and cable management are critical.

Designed for integration rather than stand-alone use, this module helps consolidate network connections inside a chassis, reducing external cabling complexity and supporting more efficient infrastructure layouts.

• Modular integration – fits into compatible Supermicro chassis to streamline networking within a shared enclosure, reducing the number of discrete external switches and interfaces.
• High-density connectivity – supports multiple server nodes in a compact form factor, enabling efficient use of rack space in blade or modular deployments.
• Optimized for data center use – suitable for environments focused on virtualization, private cloud, or clustered applications where consistent, low-latency connectivity between nodes is essential.
• Simplified management – centralizes networking for multiple servers in a single module, which can help standardize configuration and monitoring across the chassis.
• Improved cable management – by aggregating network ports at the chassis level, it reduces cable clutter and can simplify installation, maintenance and future expansion.

Typical usage scenarios include:

• Enterprise and SMB data centers requiring compact, scalable compute blocks with integrated networking.
• Virtualization clusters where multiple hosts need consistent and predictable connectivity within a single enclosure.
• Private cloud or test environments that benefit from modular, easy-to-expand server infrastructures.
