QFX5240-64QD-AO

Juniper QFX5240 Switches meet the advanced AI data center networking requirements of large-scale clusters. They work with the automation in Juniper Apstra to assure daily operation in AI and ML workload training and access.

QFX5240 Switches:

• deliver high-density 800GbE ports on a fixed form factor with software to provide advanced network services tuned to the specific needs of AI/ML workloads
• are a foundation of AI networks, ensuring fast job completion time (JCT) to speed training through high GPU utilization
• help teams managing AI/ML environments realize improved economics

Product Description

Continuous evolution of AI/ML technology along with new applications are driving the next major shift in bandwidth requirement within the data center fabric. Juniper Networks® QFX5240 800GbE switch (64 port 800GbE) is a next-generation, fixed-configuration platform designed for spine, leaf, and border switch roles.

The switch provides flexible, cost-effective, high-density 800GbE, 400GbE, 100GbE, and 50GbE interfaces for intra-IP fabric connectivity as well as higher density 200/400GbE NIC connectivity for AI/ML use cases. QFX5240 supports ROCEv2 along with congestion management features like PFC, explicit congestion notification (ECN), and data center quantized congestion notification (DCQCN).

The QFX5240 helps reduce the number of network nodes deployed, decreasing the total power consumption of the data center fabric and improving the carbon footprint of the data center.
