A Powerful Spine/Leaf Switch for Datacenter and Cloud Computing The QuantaMesh T5032-LY6 is a high performance and low latency layer 2/3/4 Ethernet switch with 32 40GbE QSFP+ ports in a 1U form factor. Each 40G QSFP+ port can be independently configured as 40GbE or 4 10GbE. The T5032-LY6 supports up to 24 40G QSFP+ ports spliting into 4 10G SFP+ ports to perform 96 10G and 8 40G ports configuration. Built for Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) datacenter deployment, high performance computing clusters, and financial applications, the QuantaMesh T5032-LY6 - with its very high port density and high performance as well as ultra-low latency characteristic - is ideal for demanding workloads and provides optimal TCO. |
Automation With the rapid adoption of cloud computing and the proliferation of big data and parallel calculations, the need fo datacenter network devices is growing exponentially, making network automation a critical factor. Supporting auto installation, RESTful, Ansible and PSME (Pooled System Managment Engine), T5032-LY6 facilities easy deployment to build-up a mass data center with infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). |
Virtualization Network virtualization is becoming an important topic of datacenters. QuantaMesh T5032-LY6 offers a hardware-based VXLAN to support virtual machine mobility. Not limited by 4K VLANs, VXLAN enables network scale-out across L3 subnets and can support up to 16.7M possible virtual networks. |
High AvailabilityThe QuantaMesh T5032-LY6 is designed for high availability from both hardware and software perspectives. The key features include:
|
Software Defined Network (SDN)SDN has emerged as a new approach to support open, vendor-agnostic, and programmable networks. T5032-LY6 is equipped with OpenFlow v1.3 features to fulfill the needs of modern data center applications. |
