Data Center ToR Aggregation for Virtualized Server Farms

In a cloud data center hosting 48 hyper-converged servers per rack, the N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE (48x1G + 4x10G) with configurable airflow and redundant PSU serves as a Top-of-Rack aggregator. It delivers wire-speed layer-2/3 switching for east-west VM traffic, simplifies cabling through 48 copper ports and four 10Gb uplinks, and supports front-to-back or back-to-front cooling. Benefit: maximized throughput and low latency for virtualized workloads, seamless scaling, and high availability with dual hot-swap power supplies.

Enterprise Campus Access with High-Density Uplink Resiliency

On a multi-floor corporate campus supporting 200+ users per floor, the N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE deploys as an access switch to connect desktops, IP telephony gateways, and wireless controllers via 1Gb ports. Four 10Gb SFP+ uplinks aggregate traffic to the core, while redundant power supplies and flexible airflow ensure nonstop operation in diverse rack environments. Benefit: consistent gigabit access, simplified VLAN segmentation, and built-in fault tolerance for uninterrupted voice, video and data services.

High-Density Management Network for HPC and Big Data Clusters

In a research lab’s high-performance computing cluster, the N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE consolidates 48 node management interfaces over 1Gb Ethernet and links to central controllers with four 10Gb SFP+ ports. The switch’s airflow option adapts to hot-aisle/cold-aisle layouts and its dual PSUs guarantee continuous monitoring. Benefit: streamlined rack-mount installation, low-latency cluster management, and enhanced reliability for mission-critical compute workloads.
