Product Overview
The Intelbras SDC 5850 series represents a high-density intelligent switch solution engineered for data centers and cloud computing environments. These switches offer robust hardware forwarding capabilities and a comprehensive suite of data center features. With support for up to 32x100G ports and dual out-of-band management ports, the SDC 5850 series is designed for demanding network infrastructures. The 100G ports are autosensing for 100G/40G and can be segmented into four interfaces, enabling up to 128x25G or 10G ports. The modular design includes support for interchangeable power supplies and fan trays, allowing for field-configurable airflow.
This series is an ideal choice for high-density 100GE or 25GE access and aggregation within data centers and cloud networks. It can also function effectively as a Top-of-Rack (ToR) access switch in overlay or integrated network architectures.
Key Features and Benefits
- High Port Density and Forwarding Capacity: Offers high-density 100G/40G/25G/10G ports with a forwarding capacity of up to 6.4Tbps, facilitating high-density server access in advanced data centers.
