SLX 9030
High-performance 48-port 10GbE leaf switch.
Next-Generation Leaf Switch
SLX 9030 switches are purpose-built high density 1/10/25/40/100GbE
fixed form switches designed for the needs of large scale data centers and
service providers. They deliver scalable L2 and L3 resources with advanced
features for network monitoring and network virtualization oering scalable
and deterministic network performance while simplifying deployment and
reducing cost.
SLX 9030 switches enable organizations to design open networks that
accommodate a variety of applications and east-west trac patterns.
With its high-density, scale-out architecture and leading power eciency
and airflow choices, the SLX 9030 delivers a cost-eective solution that
optimizes power, cooling, and data center space. With a rich set of Layer
2 and Layer 3 features and advanced visibility and automation capabilities,
the SLX 9030 is built to address dynamic growth in highly virtualized
environments, distributed applications, and digital transformation. And
with support for 100 Meg, 1/10/25/40/100GbE it oers a flexible choice
of interface speed, providing high flexibility and the ability to seamlessly
transition today’s data centers to the next generation of network
performance.
Product Overview
The SLX 9030 is a fixed 1/10/25/40/100GbE top-of-rack leaf switch with
12 MB of packet buer and an overall throughput of 1.76 Tbps in and out
non-blocking switching capacity. It oers 48 1/10GbE SFP+ ports and 4
100/40GbE QSFP-28 ports.
SFP and QSFP ports oer a choice of speeds—including 100, 40, 25, 10,
or 1GbE—along with a wide choice of transceivers and cables. Ports can
be mixed, oering flexible design options to cost-eectively support
demanding data center and cloud service provider environments.
