DDS-48XF-6QXF has 48 10G SFP+ and 6 40G QSFP+ ports with 1.44Tbps switching capacity. With VxLAN and SDN/OpenFlow advanced features, it is a cost-effective, high-density 10G access switch as its high performance and reliability.

Advanced Features to Transform Data Centers

Data centers continue to evolve, creating a need for an infrastructure that can support growth in Virtual Machines (VMs), distributed applications, and data, as well as the transition to cloud-based computing-without compromising performance. DDS-48XF6QXF delivers the performance, flexibility, and efficiency essential to modern data centers, including cloud and highly virtualized environments.

DDS-48XF6QXF supports a demanding data center environment. It provides the advanced feature set that data centers require while delivering the high performance and low latency virtualized environments demand. It transforms data center networks to support the New IP by enabling cloud-based architectures that deliver new levels of scale, agility, and operational efficiency. This highly automated, software-driven, and programmable data center switch supports a breadth of network virtualization options and scale for data center environments ranging from tens to thousands of servers. Moreover, it makes it easy for organizations to architect, automate, and integrate current and future data center technologies while they transition to a cloud model that addresses their needs, on their own timetable and on their terms.

Meets Today’s Application Demands with High Performance and Low Latency

As data centers virtualize more of their servers and VM density per server increases, organizations will require higher bandwidth connectivity to support the explosion of data and application processing. With 1/10 GbE connections, DDS-48XF6QXF delivers the high-performance computing needed to keep up with the demands of a virtualized data center, allowing organizations to reduce network congestion, improve application performance, and meet the capacity required by 1 GbE and 10 GbE servers. The 40 GbE uplinks can easily aggregate high-bandwidth traffic and reduce bottlenecks that occur when aggregating multiple 10 GbE connections, keeping data center networks working at peak performance. Organizations can create an 80 GbE trunk by utilizing two 40 GbE ports, or a 160 GbE trunk with 16 10 GbE ports. The ISL trunk can be configured between two switches when they are linked together, allowing traffic to be equally distributed among all ports. This increases link efficiency and limits traffic disruptions, especially during high-traffic times.

While an increase in traffic can also create latency issues, DDS-48XF6QXF delivers very low latency through wire-speed ports. In addition, the switch delivers a 10.5 MB deep buffer per switch. This provides the buffering capacity to handle increases in traffic, especially during peak times when ports are congested, allowing traffic to be distributed across the ports. DDS-48XF6QXF features a single ASIC design, instead of multiple ASIC designs commonly found on other switches, further improving performance and reducing latency since all ports can communicate via one ASIC.
