QCT Powerful Spine/Leaf Switch for Datacenter and Cloud Computing - 48 Ports - Manageable - 10GBase-T - 4 Layer Supported - Modular - Optical Fiber, Twisted Pair - 1U High - Rack-mountable - 3 Year Limited Warranty AIRFLOW P2020 CPU WITH RAIL KIT

A powerful Top-of-Rack Switch for Cloud Datacenters

The Quanta Mesh T3048-LY9 is a new generation 10GBASE-T solution for data center networking which provides 48 triple speed (100/1000/10GBase-T) ports and 6 QSFP+ ports in a 1U form factor. The 40G QSFP+ port can be independently configured as 40GbE or 4 x 10GbE. With traditional L2/L3 features support as well as software defined network functions, T3048-LY9 provides hybrid solutions for the network deployment . By leveraging the benefits of 10GBASE-T - longer distance connection from switch to server such as ToR, MoR or EoR rack configuration, T3048-LY9 offers Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) networking deployment more cost effective performance and perform the best TCO.

Automation

With the rapid adoption of cloud computing and the proliferation of big data and parallel calculations, the need for datacenter network devices is growing exponentially, making network automation a critical factor. Supporting auto installation, RESTful, Ansible and PSME (Pooled System Managment Engine), T3048-LY9 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. Quanta Mesh T3048-LY9 offers hardware-based VXLAN feature to support virtual machine mobility. Not limited by 4K VLANs, VXLAN enables for the network scale-out across L3 subnets and can support up to 16.7M possible virtual networks.

High Availability

The Quanta Mesh T3048-LY8 is designed for high availability from both hardware and software perspectives. The key features include:

• 1+1 hot-swappable power supplies
• 3+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. T3048-LY9 is equipped with OpenFlow v1.3 features to fulfill the needs of modern data center applications.
