ADVANCED FEATURES:

EVPN-VXLAN:

The QFX5110-32Q integrates EVPN-VXLAN capabilities to extend Layer 2 services across Layer 3 networks. This enables seamless workload mobility, multi-tenancy, and network segmentation across geographically distributed data centres. It provides a scalable framework for building large Layer 2 overlays while simplifying operations with standards-based interoperability, making it ideal for modern spine-and-leaf network architectures.

MACsec Security:

Equipped with IEEE 802.1AE MACsec, the switch delivers AES-256 wire-speed encryption across all supported ports. This ensures secure communication for mission-critical applications, safeguarding sensitive data against interception or tampering. Combined with fine-grained ACLs, role-based access control (RBAC), and secure authentication (RADIUS/TACACS+), the QFX5110-32Q provides a comprehensive security foundation for enterprise and cloud deployments.

Automation & Orchestration:

Designed for modern operational models, the switch supports Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and integrates seamlessly with automation frameworks through open APIs. Intent-based networking features allow administrators to define business policies that are automatically translated into network configurations. Integration with orchestration platforms such as OpenStack, Kubernetes, and other cloud platforms makes it well-suited for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, reducing operational complexity and manual configuration errors.

Real-Time Telemetry & Analytics:

The QFX5110-32Q streams high-frequency telemetry data for detailed visibility into traffic flows, latency, and system health. This enables operators to detect anomalies, predict capacity requirements, and troubleshoot issues proactively. By integrating telemetry with analytics platforms, IT teams can shift from reactive to predictive operations, improving reliability and performance across the network.

High Availability & Resiliency:

The hardware is designed with fully redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans, ensuring that failures do not impact uptime. Nonstop routing and hitless software upgrades minimise downtime during maintenance, making the switch suitable for mission-critical environments such as financial services, healthcare, and large-scale data centres.

Performance Optimisation:

With high switching capacity and forwarding rates, ultra-low latency, and large packet buffers, the QFX5110-32Q ensures line-rate forwarding even under heavy loads. Its performance characteristics make it suitable for latency-sensitive applications, including HPC clusters, financial trading systems, AI/ML workloads, and cloud computing infrastructures.

Scalability & Port Flexibility:

The switch offers flexible port configurations, including breakout options for QSFP ports to support multiple 10GbE links. This enables incremental bandwidth expansion without disruptive forklift upgrades, allowing operators to scale networks efficiently as demand grows.

Junos OS Advantage:

Running on Junos OS, the switch benefits from decades of operational reliability, security, and advanced programmability. Junos provides a unified feature set across routing, switching, and security, along with automation hooks, scripting, and API-based integration, reducing operational burden and ensuring consistent policy enforcement across the network.

Cloud-Ready Infrastructure:

Engineered for data centres, cloud providers, and large enterprises, the QFX5110-32Q is ideal for high-speed, hybrid-cloud, and AI-driven applications. Its combination of EVPN-VXLAN, automation, telemetry, and high-density port options makes it a strategic platform for modern data centre and edge deployments, supporting evolving network topologies and workloads with efficiency and reliability.
