Overview
A Powerful Spine/Leaf Switch for Data center and Cloud Computing
The QuantaMesh T3048-LY8 is a high performance and low latency layer 2/3/4 Ethernet switch with 48 SFP+ ports and up to 6 QSFP+ port in a 1U form factor. Each 40G QSFP+ port can be independently configured as 40GbE or 4 x 10GbE ports. Built for Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) data center deployment, high performance computing clusters and financial applications, the QuantaMesh T3048-LY8 – with its very high port density and high performance as well as ultra-low latency characteristic – is ideal for demanding workloads and provides optimal TCO. |
Automation
With the rapid adoption of cloud computing and the proliferation of big data and parallel calculations, the need for datacenter networking devices is growing exponentially, making netowrk automation a critical factor. Supporting auto installation, RESTful, Ansible and PSME (Pooled System Managment Engine), T3048-LY8 facilitates easy deployment to build-up a massive data center with infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). |
Virtualization
Network virtualization is becoming an important topic of datacenters. QuantaMesh T3048-LY8 offers a hardware-based VXLAN feature to support virtual machine mobility. Without limitation of 4K VLANs, VXLAN enables network scale out across L3 subnets and can support up to 16.7M possible virtual networks. |
High Availability
The QuantaMesh T3048-LY8 is designed for high availability from both hardware and software perspectives. The key features include:
• 1+1 hot-swappable power supplies |
Software Defined Network (SDN)
SDN has emerged as a new approach to support open, vendor-agnostic, and programmable networks. T3048-LY8 is equipped with OpenFlow v1.3 features to fulfill the needs of modern data center applications. |
