QFX10008 and QFX10016 Ethernet Switches
QFX10008 and QFX10016 Switches offer a highly scalable network foundation to support demanding data center, campus, and routing environments. Using our custom silicon Q5 ASICs, these modular switches include deep buffers and 1/10/40/100/200GbE interface options. With up to 96 Tbps throughput and the QFX10000 set of line cards, they provide flexibility and capacity for long-term investment protection.
QFX10008 and QFX10016 Switches have architectural flexibility, so you’ll never be locked into a proprietary solution. They operate in diverse network environments, including spine-and-leaf fabrics and EVPN-VXLAN overlay architectures.
Manage your QFX100008 and QFX10016 Switches with the turnkey Juniper Apstra System that automates the entire network lifecycle to simplify design, deployment, and operations and provide closed-loop assurance.
