Edgecore Networks 64 x 400G QSFP56-DD Cloud & Data Center ONIE Switch, Broadcom Tomahawk4, Intel® Xenon® D-1548 CPU, 2x AC PSU, F- Front-to-Back
The Edgecore DCS520 stands as a formidable spine switch engineered to meet the exacting demands of high-performance data centers. With its cutting-edge design, this switch delivers seamless line-rate L2 and L3 switching capabilities across its 64 x QSFP56-DD ports. Each port offers extensive versatility, supporting various connection options including 1 x 400G QSFP56-DD, 1 x 100G QSFP28, and 1 x 40G QSFP+, or through breakout cables, configurations such as 2 x 200G (2 x 4 lanes 50G PAM4), 4 x 100G (4 x 2 lanes 50G PAM4), 2 x 50G (2 x 2 lanes 25G NRZ), 4 x 25G NRZ, or 4 x 10G NRZ.
Deployable exclusively as a spine switch, the DCS520 excels in facilitating 100/400 Gb spine-to-spine or spine-to-leaf interconnects, forming an integral component of data center architecture. With its 2 RU form factor, this switch integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure while maximizing space efficiency.
Powered by Broadcom Tomahawk 4 switch series silicon, the DCS520 ensures unparalleled performance, reliability, and scalability. Its robust architecture enables efficient and low-latency switching, catering to the most demanding network requirements with ease.
The DCS520 prioritizes ease of maintenance and operation, featuring hot-swappable, load-sharing redundant 2400 W AC/HVDC PSUs and 3+1 redundant, hot-swappable fan modules. Its support for hot/cold aisle configurations, along with front-to-back airflow SKU, ensures optimal cooling efficiency and operational resilience.
Moreover, the switch comes pre-loaded with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE), streamlining the installation process of compatible Network Operating System (NOS) software. Users can leverage the versatility of the open-source options like Open Network Linux (ONL) or opt for commercial NOS offerings to tailor the network infrastructure to their specific needs.
