10GbE Data Center Switch Bare-Metal Hardware

The Edgecore DCS208 switch meets the high-performance, availability, and network-scaling requirements of enterprise and cloud data centers. The DCS208 provides full line-rate switching at Layer 2 or Layer 3 across 48 x 10GbE ports and 6 x 40GbE uplinks. The switch can be deployed either as a Top-of-Rack switch, or as part of a 10GbE or 40GbE distributed spine, forming a non-blocking folded-Clos data center fabric. The switch is rack mountable in either a standard 19 inch rack, or with the Open Rack Switch Adapter in the 21 inch Open Rack
