QFX5100-48S-D-3AFI Use Case

High-Density Data Center Spine-Leaf with QFX5100-48S-D-3AFI-QFX5100

In a hyperscale data center, the QFX5100-48S-D-3AFI-QFX5100 delivers 48 SFP+/SFP ports at leaf switches with 6 QSFP+ spine uplinks. Back-to-front airflow integrates seamlessly with hot-aisle containment, while redundant fans and dual DC power supplies ensure nonstop operation. Outcome: ultra-low latency east-west traffic, seamless 100GbE scalability and five-nines availability for cloud-native workloads.

Telecom Edge Aggregation in Central Office Environments

Telecommunication providers deploy the QFX5100-48S-D-3AFI-QFX5100 in central offices to aggregate 48 x 10GbE SFP/SFP+ subscriber links and 6 x 40GbE QSFP+ backhaul connections. The back-to-front airflow design aligns with NEBS thermal zones, and redundant fans plus 2 DC power supplies meet carrier-grade reliability standards. Outcome: guaranteed SLA-driven uptime, flexible port speeds for next-gen services and simplified network scaling.

High-Performance Compute Cluster Fabric

Research institutions leverage the QFX5100-48S-D-3AFI-QFX5100 as a top-of-rack switch in HPC clusters, connecting 48 compute nodes over SFP+/SFP and aggregating 6 QSFP+ links to the spine. Back-to-front airflow fits into blade rack designs, while redundant fans and dual DC power modules support uninterrupted simulation runs. Outcome: consistent sub-microsecond latency, 1:1 oversubscription for data-intensive modeling and maximum cluster uptime.
