The ACX5000 Universal Access Routers are Juniper Networks' top-of-rack router solutions
for data centers and campus distribution or aggregation environments. The ACX5000
router portfolio consists of high-performance fixed-configuration routers that add higher
port densities, additional scalability, and improved latency to the ACX Series. The
ACX5000 routers are available in two models-ACX5048 and ACX5096. See
Router Models" on page 5.
ACX5000 routers offer a compact 1 U model and a 2 U model that provide wire-speed
packet performance, very low latency, and a rich set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features.
These routers have a high-throughput Packet Forwarding Engine, and the performance
of the control plane running on ACX5000 routers 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.
The ACX5000 routers include both 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 40-Gigabit Ethernet fixed
configurations.
The ACX5000 router consists of:
