QFX5200 Switches provide a line-rate, low-latency platform for building large spine and leaf, IP-fabric data center networks. These switches offer flexible 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE, 100GbE, and 400GbE interfaces for server and intrafabric connectivity. You can take advantage of their deployment versatility to future-proof your network investment.
To meet today’s business demands, both software and hardware must work together as part of a unified network. QFX5200 Switches provide the foundation of the underlying data center infrastructure for Contrail Networking, a platform that enables automated policies and life-cycle management of data center fabrics. Contrail Networking abstracts the network connectivity, using virtual overlays across both legacy and cloud-native workloads that run servers attached to QFX Series Switches.
