The QFX5100 line of switches is Juniper Network's second generation of top-of-rack switch solutions for
data centers and campus distribution or aggregation environments. The QFX5100 portfolio consists of
high-performance fixed-configuration switches that add higher port densities, additional scalability, and
improved latency to the QFX Series.
QFX5100 Hardware
QFX5100 line of switches offer two compact 1 U models and a 2 U model that provide wire-speed packet
performance, very low latency, and rich set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features. In addition to a high-throughput
Packet Forwarding Engine, the performance of the control plane running on all the QFX5100 switches is
enhanced by the 1.5 Ghz dual-core Intel CPU with 8 GB of memory and 32 GB of solid-state drive (SSD)
storage.
