Which QuantaMesh Switches are recommended for the Open Compute Project (OCP)? |
A
|
In the OCP server design, the position of the data and management ports is shifted to the front panel for easy access. The cabling and airflow requirements suggest that the airflow Front-to-Back QuantaMesh Switch should be installed into the OCP Open rack. The QuantaMesh Switches are based on the Open Switch design platform reference. The key features includes an Open Rack and a traditional 1U-compliant rack. The portfolio includes 48x10GbE + 4x40GbE ports, 48x10GbE + 6x40GbE ports, and 32x40GbE ports that fit into the data center leaf/spine architecture. It supports ONIE, multiple Network OS choices, and has flexible modular CPU options. |
