| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| High performance | The QFX3500 delivers 1.28 Tbps of throughput and 960 Mpps of switching capacity to sustain wire-speed switching with ultra low latency and low jitter. All ports can run at full wire speeds in both L2 and L3 mode, with the option to operate in either cut-through or store-and-forward mode as well. |
| Reliability | The QFX3500 includes robust high availability features such as redundant power supplies and fan modules to ensure uninterrupted hardware performance. Control plane and data plane separation, combined with the highly available Junos OS, ensures maximum systems-level availability. |
| Server virtualization support | The QFX3500 switch’s large MAC address table enables large-scale server virtualization deployment. The QFX3500 is also supported by Junos Space Virtual Control, which unifies physical and virtual infrastructures to provide network operators with a comprehensive view into the complete end-to-end network. |
| Green solution | The QFX3500 is a green solution that consumes less than 5 watts per 10GbE port and includes variable speed fans that dynamically adjust operation based on ambient temperature to optimize operating power and reduce operating expenses. With maximum power consumption of 365 W and nominal power of 295 W, the QFX3500 is certified for Silver PSU Efficiency at 85%. The switch also complies with standards such as Reduction of Hazardous Substances (ROHS), Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), and Waste Electronics and Electrical Equipment (WEEE), making it an environmentally responsible solution. |
