Product Overview The Juniper Networks QFabric System is composed of three separate but integrated components—the QFX3500/QFX3600 QFabric Nodes, the QFX3600-I/QFX3008-I QFabric Interconnect, and the QFX3100 QFabric Director. These components work together to create a single, highperformance QFabric architecture for the next generation cloud-ready data center. The QFX3008-I provides the high-speed transport that serves as the backplane of the QFabric System, enabling the data center network to operate and be managed as a single, logical device that lowers capital, management, and operational expenses. Product Description Juniper Networks® QFX3008-I QFabric™ Interconnect acts as the backplane of Juniper Networks QFX3000-G QFabric System, connecting all QFabric Node edge devices in a flat, any-to-any topology. Each QFX3008-I QFabric Interconnect chassis provides full redundancy with dual control boards, eight fabric modules, and redundant power supply modules. Featuring a switching capacity of 10.24 Tbps, the QFX3008-I Interconnect offers eight I/O slots for hosting 16port 40 Gbps modules, providing data plane connectivity for the Nodes. Each QFabric Node connects to the Interconnect via two or four 40 Gbps interfaces operating over standard OM4 multimode fiber optics. Similar to the fabric inside a chassis-based switch, there are no connections between the Interconnect chassis in the data center; the Interconnect only provides transport between Node devices. Four fully populated Interconnect systems can scale the QFabric architecture to 6,000 customer-facing ports, with an aggregate capacity of 40 Tbps. The QFX3008-I runs the same Juniper Networks Junos® operating system as other Juniper Networks switches, routers, and security devices. All provisioning and management is conducted via the Juniper Networks QFX3100 QFabric Director. QFabric Architecture QFabric technology represents the “1” in Juniper’s 3-2-1 architecture, dramatically reducing complexity in the data center by delivering any-to-any connectivity while lowering capital, management, and operational expenses. Juniper Networks QFabric architecture helps organizations realize the full benefit of their investments in server consolidation, virtualization, service-oriented architecture (SOA), distributed application architectures, and other technologies. The high-performance, non-blocking, and lossless QFabric architecture delivers much lower latency than traditional network architectures—crucial for the high-speed communications that define the modern data center. Rather than fragment network and server capacity like traditional data center networks, QFabric technology implements a single, flexible architecture that enables organizations to achieve cloud-like efficiencies and create a more agile environment.

QFabric Director Figure 1: The QFX3008-I QFabric Interconnects connect QFabric Node edge devices in a QFabric System. Features and Benefits Table 1: QFX3008-I Features and Benefits Features The QFX3008-I allows for multi-terabit scaling of the QFabric architecture. Each system scales to 10.24 Tbps; four Interconnect systems in a QFabric architecture allow for a 40 Tbps data center fabric, creating an architecture that can accommodate future 40GbE and 100GbE-based data center fabrics. High availability and redundancy The QFX3008-I supports multilevel redundancy, including power supplies,...
