The Juniper Networks QFX5220 Switch is a next-generation, fixed-configuration spine-and-leaf switch. It offers flexible, cost-effective, high-density 400GbE, 200GbE, 100GbE, 50GbE, 40GbE, 25GbE, and 10GbE interfaces for server and intra-fabric connectivity, and delivers a versatile, future-proofed solution for today’s data centers.
QFX5220 switches support advanced Layer 2, Layer 3, and MPLS features. For large public cloud providers—early adopters of high-performance servers to meet explosive workload growth—the QFX5220 supports very large, dense, and fast 400GbE IP fabrics based on proven internet-scale technology. For enterprise customers seeking investment protection as they transition their server farms from 10GbE to 25GbE, the QFX5220 switch also provides a high radix-native 100GbE lean-spine option at reduced power and a smaller footprint.
QFX5220-32CD: The QFX5220-32CD offers 32 ports in a low-profile 1 U form factor. High-speed ports support a wide variety of port configurations, including 400GbE, 200GbE, 100GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, and 10GbE. The QFX5220-32CD is equipped with two AC or DC power supplies, providing 1+1 redundancy when all power supplies are present, and six hot-swappable fans offering ports-to-FRUs (AFO) or FRUs-to-ports (AFI) airflow options, providing (5×2+1)+1 redundancy.
QFX5220-128C: The QFX5220-128C offers 128 ports in a 4 U form factor. The high-speed ports support a wide variety of configurations, including 100GbE and 40GbE. The switch is equipped with four AC or DC power supplies, providing 2+2 redundancy when all power supplies are present, and six hot-swappable ports-to-FRUs (AFO) airflow fans, providing (5×2+1) +1 redundancy.
