Benefits of QFX10000 Modular Chassis Switches

System throughput—The Juniper Networks
delivers up to 96 Tbps of system throughput to meet the rapid and ongoing traffic
growth in the data center. Industry-leading scale and density on the QFX10000
modular switches redefine per-slot economics, enabling you to do more with less
while simplifying network design and reducing operating expenditures.
Logical scale—The QFX10000 modular switches deliver the highest Layer 2 / Layer 3
scale with up to 1 million MAC addresses, 2 million host routes, and 2 million FIB. The
system also supports deep buffers with up to 100ms packet buffering per port. Virtual
output Queue (VoQ) based architecture prevents head-of-line blocking.
Network architectures—The QFX10000 line can be deployed in a number of different
network designs and fabrics, including Layer 3 fabric and Juniper MC-LAG for Layer
2 and Layer 3 networks, giving customers complete architectural flexibility.
Additionally, the open architecture ensures that customers can innovate on top of
Juniper Networks Junos
