Product Overview
Juniper QFX5230-2RU-4PRMK is a tool-less 4-post rack mount kit (RMK) for the 2RU QFX5230-64CD Ethernet switch. The QFX5230-64CD is a high-radix class switch dedicated for high-bandwidth network switching devices up to 64 × 400GbE, 128 × 200GbE, 256 × 100GbE, 64 × 40GbE, 256 × 25GbE, 256 × 10GbE ports in 2 U form factor. This makes the QFX5230-64CD ideal for AI data center deployments and spine and super-spine roles within IP and Ethernet VPN–Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN) fabrics.
Architecture & Performance
The Remote Direct Memory Access over Converged Ethernet (RoCEv2) of the QFX5230-64CD supports IP storage deployments where QoS mechanisms such as priority-based control-distributed services code point (PFC-DSCP) and explicit congestion notification (ECN) deliver high performance for storage workloads. Support for ZR/ZR-M makes it suitable for edge and data center interconnect (DCI) use cases. Apstra Data Center Director (formerly Juniper Apstra) intent-based networking delivers full Day 0 through Day 2+ capabilities for IP/EVPN fabrics with closed-loop assurance in the data center. Data Center Director is a fabric management solution that empowers teams to automate and manage their networks across virtually any data center.
