Where Space is Tight, Performance is Mighty
Equipped with 48 x 25G SFP28 and 8 x 100G QSFP28 ports, this compact 1RU switch delivers up to 2 Tbps of non-blocking switching capacity, ideal for high-density aggregation or core roles. Front-to-back airflow, 1+1 hot-swappable redundant power supplies, and N+1 hot-swappable fans ensure optimal thermal performance and reliability. Making it a perfect fit for micro data centers and space-constrained environments.
Intelligent Traffic Management, Provisioning, and Visibility
Traffic monitoring demands high-availability, high-performance network infrastructure. The DQS-5000-56ZS meets these needs with MC-LAG, hot-swappable PSU and fans, 25G downlinks for endpoint aggregation, and 100G uplinks for database and storage connectivity.
It ensures uninterrupted data transfer, precise data retrieval, and intelligent event-based traffic forwarding. This enables seamless connectivity across racks or sites, supporting multi-tenant environments and virtualized workloads with the following benefits :
• Massive Network Scalability
• Full Bandwidth Utilization
• Seamless VM Mobility
• Optimized Data Center Efficiency
Increased Link Redundancy and Load Balancing
Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation Group (MC-LAG) is widely adopted in enterprise and data center networks to enhance network resiliency, bandwidth utilization, and seamless failover protection.
Unlike traditional LAG, MC-LAG allows devices to connect to two independent switches simultaneously, ensuring service continuity even if one switch becomes unavailable.
• High Availability - Dual-homing redundancy
• Load Balancing – Uninterrupted service
• Seamless Failover – Optimal performance
• Open Interoperability – Works with standard LAG protocols
Unmatched Speed, Energy Efficiency, and Reliability
As enterprise micro data center networks become increasingly dynamic and data-intensive, soaring bandwidth demands are driving the need for high-density 25G and 100G Ethernet switching across both leaf and spine tiers to ensure seamless scalability, low latency, and optimized performance.
The DQS-5000-56ZS – Purpose-built for micro data centers, optimized for high-speed Layer 3 traffic with ultra-low latency in a compact design. It delivers the speed, scalability, and efficiency needed for agile, future-ready data centers, integrating seamlessly with Layer 3 topologies, overlay networks, and both virtualized and traditional architectures.
