Overview:
Cloud providers and network operators are increasingly deploying scale-out, spine-and-leaf IP fabric architectures built on fixed-configuration switches to support growing east-west traffic in the data center.
The QFX5220 Switch is optimally suited for these high-speed, high-density, spine-and-leaf IP fabrics. Supporting 400GbE, 200GbE*, 100GbE, 50GbE*, 40GbE, 25GbE, and 10GbE connections and offering an advanced L2, L3, and MPLS feature set, the QFX5220 enables cloud service providers and network operators to build large, next-generation IP fabrics that support network virtualization and intelligent traffic forwarding based on proven, Internet-scale technology.
Product Description
The Juniper Networks QFX5220 Switch is a next-generation, fixed-configuration spine-and-leaf switch. It offers flexible, cost-effective, high-density 400GbE, 200GbE*, 100GbE, 50GbE*, 40GbE, 25GbE, and 10GbE interfaces for server and intra-fabric connectivity, and delivers a versatile, future-proofed solution for today’s data centers.
QFX5220 switches support advanced Layer 2, Layer 3, and MPLS features. For large public cloud providers—early adopters of high-performance servers to meet explosive workload growth—the QFX5220 supports very large, dense, and fast 400GbE IP fabrics based on proven Internet scale technology. For enterprise customers seeking investment protection as they transition their server farms from 10GbE to 25GbE, the QFX5220 switch also provides a high radix-native 100GbE lean-spine option at reduced power and a smaller footprint.
Two QFX5220 models are available, supporting different configurations and use cases. Delivering 25.6 Tbps of bandwidth, both models are optimally designed for spine-and-leaf deployments in enterprise, HPC, service provider, and cloud data centers.
QFX5220-32CD: The QFX5220-32CD offers 32 ports in a low-profile 1 U form factor. High-speed ports support a wide variety of port configurations, including 400GbE, 200GbE, 100GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, and 10GbE. The QFX5220-32CD is equipped with two AC or DC power supplies, providing 1+1 redundancy when all power supplies are present, and six hot-swappable fans offering ports-to-FRUs (AFO) or FRUs-to-ports (AFI) airflow options, providing (5x2+1)+1 redundancy.
QFX5220-128C: The QFX5220-128C offers 128 ports in a 4 U form factor. The high-speed ports support a wide variety of configurations, including 100GbE and 40GbE. The switch is equipped with four AC or DC power supplies, providing 2+2 redundancy when all power supplies are present, and six hot-swappable ports-to-FRUs (AFO) airflow fans, providing (5x2+1) +1 redundancy.
Both QFX5220 switch models include an Intel XeonD-1500 processor to drive the control plane, which runs the Juniper Networks Junos® OS Evolved operating system software.
Product Highlights
The QFX5220 includes the following capabilities. Please refer to the Specifications section for currently shipping features.
Native 400GbE Configuration
The QFX5220-32CD offers 32 ports in a 1 U form factor. The high-speed ports support a wide variety of configurations, including 100GbE and 400GbE.
High-Density Configurations
The QFX5220 switches are optimized for high-density fabric deployments. The QFX5220-32CD provides an option of either 32 ports of 400GbE, 100GbE, or 40GbE, while the QFX5220-128C provides an option of either 128 QSFP28 100GbE ports or 64 40GbE QSFP ports.
Flexible Connectivity Options
The QFX5220 offers a choice of interface speeds for server and intra-fabric connectivity, providing deployment versatility and investment protection.
- Rich automation capabilities: The QFX5220 switches support a number of network automation features for plug-and-play operations, including zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), operations and event scripts, automatic rollback, and Python scripting.
- Advanced Junos Evolved features: The QFX5220 switch supports features such as BGP add-path, MPLS, L3 VPN, RoCEv2, and Multicast capabilities.
- Junos Evolved software architecture: The QFX5220 supports a modular Junos Evolved software architecture that allows the switch’s control and data plane processes and functions to run in parallel, maximizing utilization of the high-performance quad-core CPU, support for seamless component upgrade without bringing the switch down, and support for containerization, enabling application deployment using LXC or Docker.
Deployment Options
The QFX5220-32CD can be deployed as a universal device in cloud data centers to support 100GbE server access and 400GbE spine-and-leaf configurations, optimizing data center operations by using a single device across multiple layers of the network (see Figure 1).
The QFX5220-128C is a high-radix 100GbE lean-spine switch optimized to aggregate 10GbE and 25GbE top-of-rack switches in these environments. Many cloud, service provider, data center, and enterprise networks are deploying 100GbE to handle growing demand. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show multiple use cases with the QFX5220-128C as a lean spine.
