QFX10002-36Q-DC

Juniper Networks® QFX10002 fixed configuration switches offer a 2 U form factor with support for 10GbE and 100GbE.

These switches support quad small form-factor pluggable plus transceiver (QSFP+) ports for 40GbE speeds. With support for 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE in a single platform, the QFX10002 switches provide the foundation for today's data center, delivering long-term investment protection for current and emerging requirements.

Built on custom, Juniper-designed Q5 ASICs, the high-performance, highly versatile QFX10002 switches enable a simple, consolidated network design and allow customers to seamlessly evolve data center networks from existing 10GbE and 40GbE architectures to 100GbE to keep pace with evolving needs.

The QFX10002 is a member of the QFX10000 line of Ethernet switches, which can be deployed in a number of different network designs and fabrics, including Layer 3 fabric and multichassis link aggregation (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 Junos® operating system to accelerate their pace of innovation. The QFX10000 switches also support Junos Fusion architecture, a simple, easy-to-deploy fabric that scales to support mid-to-large data center deployments while simplifying network management and configuration.

QFX10000 switches are also a key component of Juniper Networks MetaFabric™ Architecture, which provides a simple, open, and smart approach to building data center networks. Additionally, the QFX10000 switches support Data Center Interconnect (DCI), critical to workload mobility and application availability.

For networks evolving to SDN, the QFX10000 switches integrate with OpenContrail and VMware NSX SDN controllers, giving users options for SDN systems. The QFX10000 performs both Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) L2 and L3 gateway functionality; the open, standards-based platform also interoperates with Open vSwitch Database (OVSDB) to support automated management and control capabilities.
