QCT 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 Availability

The QuantaMesh T5032-LY6 is designed for high availability from both hardware and software perspectives. The key features include:

• 1+1 hot-swappable power supplies
• 2+1 hot-swappable fans
• Spanning Tree with Guarding Features
• Up to 64 Groups of LACP with per Group 32 Member Ports
• Multi-chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG)
• Up to 48 paths ECMP routing for load balancing and redundancy
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)

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.

• OpenFlow
• OSPF, BGP4 with ECMP
• Network Automation
• VXLAN
• Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG)
