Benefits of the QFX10002 Switch
• Combats application latency by using a deep buffer with hybrid memory cube (HMC) technology to
absorb network traffic spikes. Deep buffers are important at the edge of data center networks where
typically there is a speed mismatch between WAN-facing interfaces and data center-facing
interfaces.
• Operates as a universal platform that can be positioned in multiples roles –data center, data center
interconnect, or data center edge, as well as campus and routing use cases because of its high logical
scale.
• Enables cloud providers to collapse multiple layer in the network (spine and data center interconnect)
that offer capital and operational expenditure savings.
• Saves on power with an optimized power profile per 100 Gigabit Ethernet.
QFX10002 Models
The QFX10002 line of switches are deep-buffer fixed-chassis switches in a 2 U form factor for fixed
core and spine deployments. All models of the QFX10002 support port densities of 10 Gigabit Ethernet,
40 Gigabit Ethernet and 100 Gigabit Ethernet. In addition, all switches are available with either an AC or
DC power supply and with port to field replaceable unit (FRU) cooling. This type of cooling is also known
airflow out (AFO) or front-to-back cooling . The QFX10002 is available in three port configurations:
as
• QFX10002-36Q
• QFX10002-72Q
• QFX10002-60C
The QFX10002-36Q offers 36 ports of 40-Gigabit Ethernet quad small-form factor plugable (QSFP+) or
12 ports 100-Gigabit Ethernet 28-Gbps QSFP+ Pluggable Solution (QSFP28). The QFX10002-36Q has
up to 2.88 terabits per second (Tbps) of throughput and 1 billion packets per second (Bpps) of
forwarding capacity. This model ships with redundant 1600 W AC or DC power supplies and three fan
modules. See Figure 1 on page 4.
