A Powerful Spine/Leaf Switch for Datacenter 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) datacenter 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 network devices is growing exponentially, making netowrk automation a critical factor. Supporting auto installation, RESTful, Ansible and PSME (Pooled System Managment Engine), T3048-LY8 facilities easy deployment to build-up a mass 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. Not limited by 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
- 2+1 hot-swappable fans
- Spanning Tree with Guarding Features
- Up to 64 Groups of LACP with per Group 32 Member Ports
- Multi-chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG)
- Up to 48 paths ECMP routing for load balancing and redundancy
- Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
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.
