QFabric System

The QFabric® System is composed of multiple components working together as a single switch. It flattens the network to a single tier to provide high-performance, any-to-any connectivity and management simplicity, making it the ideal network foundation for cloud-ready, virtualized data centers. The QFabric System is composed of multiple components working together as a single switch to provide high-performance, any-to-any connectivity and management simplicity in the data center. The QFabric System flattens the entire data center network to a single tier where all access points are equal, eliminating the effects of network locality and making it the ideal network foundation for cloud-ready, virtualized data centers. QFabric is a highly scalable system that improves application performance with low latency and converged services in a non-blocking, lossless architecture that supports Layer 2, Layer 3, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet capabilities. Distributed switch composed of three components: QFX3500/QFX3600/QFX5100 QFabric Node QFX3600-I/QFX3008-I QFabric Interconnect QFX3100 QFabric Director Features Scales to 40 Tbps to deliver unprecedented capacity beyond 10GbE at the access layer. Ultra-low Deterministic Latency is ideal for supporting latency-sensitive applications, east-west traffic flows, virtualization, cloud, and other high-performance data center initiatives. Single-Switch Management greatly simplifies data center operations with less complexity and lower power, space, cooling, and operational costs. Carrier-Class Solution requires no downtime for reconfiguration or maintenance. Scales to Thousands of Ports within a single-tier network in a "pay-as-you-grow" model. Incremental Design allows conversion of QFX Series switches from top-of-rack to QFabric devices. QFabric System Models QFX3000-M  QFX3000-G
