QCT A Powerful Top-of-Rack Switch for Data Center and Cloud Computing

A Powerful Top-of-Rack Switch for Datacenters and Cloud Computing

The QuantaMesh T3040-LY3 is a high performance layer 2/3/4 Ethernet switch with 40 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T/10GBASE-T and 8 1/10GBASE-X SFP+ ports in a compact rack unit size. The 40 10GBASE-T ports are backwards compatible with 100/1000M Ethernet networks. The 8 SFP+ ports can aggregate bandwidth up to the core switch. With the energy saving requirements, the QuantaMesh T3040-LY3 is designed with high power efficiency to save OPEX.

Simplicity

The QuantaMesh T3040-LY3 can be managed through an industry standard command-line interface (CLI) which reduces training and operating costs. The QuantaMesh T3040-LY3 also supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) both from standard MIB and private MIB for easy configuration, monitoring, and management by the network administrator remotely. The Auto- Installation feature implemented in the QuantaMesh T3040-LY3 helps centralized management to simplify deployment of a truly plug-and-play experience. With the evolution from IPv4 to IPv6, the QuantaMesh T3040-LY3 is a IPv6 integrated management device.

High Availability

The QuantaMesh T3040-LY3 is designed for high availability from both hardware and software perspective. The key features include:

• 1+1 hot-swappable power supplies
• Spanning Tree with Guarding Features
• Up to 64 gropus of LACP with per group 32 member ports
• Multi-chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG)
• Up to 32 paths ECMP routing for load balancing and redundancy
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)

High-Performance L2/L3 access deployments

With the compact 1U form factor, high density 40 100BASE- TX/1000BASE-T/10GBASE-T and 8 1/10GBASE-X SFP+ ports in the front panel, front to back or back to front airflow design, the QuantaMesh T3040-LY3 is ideal for top- of-rack deployments in high-performance, highly demanding datacenters. The 960 gigabits per second switching capacity and 714Mpps forwarding rate with low power consumption make the QuantaMesh T3040-LY3 a powerful solution to aggregate high- performance servers in the datacenter.

Software Defined Network (SDN)

SDN has emerged as a new approach to support open, vendor-agnostic, and programmable networks. T3040-LY3 is equipped with OpenFlow v1.3 features to fulfill the needs of modern data center applications.
