    This network fabric can be used to interconnect tens of thousands of servers delivering cloud computing services. The SSE-X3348S switch provides front-to-back (F2B) airflow cooling. The companion product, SSE-X3348SR, provides a “reverse” airflow – back-to-front (B2F). The airflow options enable flexibility on rack deployment with servers or other switches, allowing cool aisles to be maintained without creating “hot loops.”...
