The Juniper Networks® QFX5700 Switch is a next-generation, modular and fabric-less spine-and-leaf switch that offers flexibility, cost efficiency with lower-per-bit, high-density 400GbE, 200GbE, 100GbE, 50GbE, 40GbE, 25GbE, and 10GbE interfaces for server and intra-fabric connectivity. A versatile, future-proven solution for today's data centers, the QFX5700 leverages the power of a fully programmable Broadcom's Trident 4 chipset to support and deliver a diverse set of use cases. It supports advanced Layer 2, Layer 3, and Ethernet VPN (EVPN)- Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) features. For large public cloud providers-early adopters of high-performance servers to meet explosive workload growth-the QFX5700 supports very large, dense, and fast 400GbE IP fabrics based on proven Internet scale technology. For enterprise customers seeking investment protection as they transition their server farms from 10GbE to 25GbE, the QFX5700 switch also provides a high radix-native 100GbE/400GbE EVPN-VXLAN spine option at reduced power and a smaller footprint. The QFX5700 supports diverse use cases such as Data Center Fabric Spine, EVPN-VXLAN Fabric, Data Center Interconnect/ Border, Secure DCI, multi-tier campus, campus IP fabric, and connecting firewall clusters in the DC to the fabric. Delivering 25.6 Tbps of bidirectional bandwidth, the switch is optimally designed for spine-and-leaf deployments in enterprise, high-performance computing (HPC), service provider, and cloud data centers. The QFX5700 is a modular merchant silicon-based chassis offering a wide variety of ports configurations, including 400GbE, 200GbE, 100GbE, 50GbE, 40GbE, 25GbE, and 10GbE. The QFX5700 is equipped with up to four AC or DC power supplies, providing N +N feed redundancy or N+1 PSU redundancy when all power supplies are present. Two hot-swappable fan trays offer front-to-back (AFO) airflow, providing N+1 fan rotor redundancy at Chassis. The platform also includes support for in-line MACsec line cards. The QFX5700 includes an Intel Hewitt Lake 6 core to drive the control plane, which runs the Junos® OS Evolved operating system software. |
