The T640 is a true multiservice core system that delivers a reliable, high-performance, and flexible core backbone architecture to carry a wide breadth of services over a common IP/MPLS infrastructure. With 800Gbps of line rate throughput in a half rack chassis, the T640 has been one of the leading platforms powering operator backbones throughout the world.
At 19 inches wide and a half rack in height, the Juniper Networks T640 Core Router addresses the need for highly scalable, high-performance core routing at a fraction of the size of competitive offerings. Each of the eight slots in the T640 delivers 50 Gbps with the ability to scale well beyond that capacity, fulfilling the needs for explosive growth in high-bandwidth services of today and tomorrow.
The T640 supports up to 8 OC-768c/STM-256 ports, 40 10Gbps ports (10GbE or OC-192/STM-64), 128 OC-48c/STM-16 ports, and an industry-leading 320 1-GbE ports. It delivers up to 640 Gbps of capacity with the ability to forward up to 770 million packets per second (Mpps).
The T640 also supports lower speed interfaces for organizations looking to combine high-speed core routing with dedicated access aggregation in a single platform. The T640 offers true investment protection since it is upgradeable in-service to any next generations of T Series platforms.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Densest Multi-terabit capacity and multichassis scalability | Explosive growth in social networking, video and many other applications are driving traffic growth exponentially. The T Series scale and density allows service providers to increase seamlessly as the needs grow. |
| High availability systems | High availability (HA) and continuous operation are critical in core routing, where loss of a single routing node can remove service for a wide geographical area. Offering full ISSU support, the T Series is the most reliable system powering core networks today. Key benefits include higher network availability, better network stability, easier operations, and less operational risks. |
| In Service Hardware Upgrade | Any T Series chassis can be upgraded to a future generation system while in full service. One of the most popular innovations from Juniper, this feature offers operators unprecedented investment protection to future technology. |
| Widest range of interface support | With the highest densities in Ethernet and SONET/SDH interfaces, the T Series not only powers some of the largest Ethernet and SONET/SDH cores but is also key to the operators in the transition phase to Ethernet. |
