Bare-metal switches are driving the data center market as the high demands for cost-effective switch platforms and flexibility open hardware from service providers. With the upcoming era of 5G, the demands of Bare-metal boxes will continue to be strong. 5G advances the network applications which will need highly reliable and scalable infrastructure deployment. 

Quanta Cloud Technology(QCT) provides a series of Bare Metal Switches, the QCT BMS product line, that addresses these changes in the data center market.  To meet the requirements of high performance, high availability, fast scale-out, low latency performance, and continuous serviceability in data center applications, the QCT BMS product line offers high-performance and cost-effective open switch platforms.

The 100G High-density Modular Switch for Data Centers

QuantaMesh T7128-IXT is a high-density 4RU spine switch, supporting up to 12.8Tbps with 128 100G QSFP28 ports, each supporting 1 x 100GbE or 1 x 40GbE, or via breakout cables, 2 x 50GbE, 4 x 25GbE, or 4 x 10GbE. It offers flexibility and cost-benefit of open networking with 8 slots of modular line cards in a single chip solution. It supports high-density interconnection for massive scale-out data centers and simplifies the spine-leaf networking tiers. The modular line cards allow service providers to have more flexibility on port configuration and help them smoothly migrate to 400G in the future.
