Description
Meet the foundation of your AI data center. The QFX5240 Switch leverages Broadcom Tomahawk 5 silicon to provide 800GbE—twice the capacity of the previous generation. It’s built for the advanced networking requirements of large-scale clusters, and works with Apstra Data Center Director to assure daily operation in AI and ML workload training and access. QFX5240 Switches deliver high-density 800GbE ports in a 2U fixed form factor with software to provide advanced network services tuned to the specific needs of AI/ML workloads. As a cornerstone of AI networks, these switches deliver fast job completion time (JCT) to accelerate training through high GPU utilization.
