QCT The Next Wave Ethernet Switch for Data Center and Cloud Computing
The QuantaMesh T7032-IX1 is a high performance and low latency layer 2/3/4 Ethernet switch with 32 100GbE QSFP28 ports in a 1U form factor. Each 100G QSFP28 port can be independently configured to support 10/25/40/50/100GbE speed and can support up to 128 10/25G connections or 64 50G connections via split out cables. Built for infrastructure-as-a-service (Iaas) data center deployment, high performance computing clusters, and financial applications, the QuantaMesh T7032-IX1 - with its very high port density and high performance as well as ultra-low latency characteristic - is idea 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 for data center network devices is growing exponentially, making network automation a critical factor. Supporting auto installation, RESTful, Ansible and PSME (Pooled System Managment Engine), T7032-IX1 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 data centers. QuantaMesh T7032-IX1 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.
