JQ074A Use Case
High-Throughput Data Center Spine Switching
In a hyperscale data center environment running AI/ML training workloads, the JQ074A-5945 48SFP28 8QSFP28 SWITCH PL-NC delivers 2.4 Tbps of non-blocking throughput and sub-100 ns latency between GPU clusters. By aggregating 48×25 GbE leaf uplinks and 8×100 GbE spine ports on a single chassis, operators achieve seamless east-west traffic flow, accelerate model convergence by 20 %, and simplify cable management. Benefit: Maximized compute utilization with deterministic low-latency switching and streamlined network architecture.
Multi-Tenant Cloud Fabric with VXLAN/EVPN Overlay
A regional cloud provider builds a multi-tenant network fabric using the JQ074A-5945 as its aggregation switch. Leveraging 48×25 GbE access links for tenant racks and 8×100 GbE uplinks to the spine, it runs VXLAN/EVPN overlays (license-optional) for network segmentation and micro-segmentation across 4,096 tenants. Benefit: Rapid tenant onboarding, end-to-end traffic isolation, and linear scale to thousands of virtual networks with zero service interruption.
Enterprise Campus Core and Aggregation Layer
A global enterprise deploys the JQ074A-5945 at its campus core to unify wired access, wireless backhaul, and IoT device traffic. With 48 SFP28 ports for multi-gigabit uplinks to access switches and 8 QSFP28 ports for 400 GbE uplinks to the data center, the switch supports 10 GbE–100 GbE mix on a single platform. Benefit: Simplified operations through consistent OS and API-driven automation, 40 % reduction in power/cooling costs, and future-proof capacity for 5G and Wi-Fi 6 deployments.
