Aggregation/end-of-row
Simplied data center infrastructure
Simplify data center infrastructure
Leverage the high port densisties of the Z9500 to consolidate networking
functions and end-of-row with blade server systems. The Z9500 also simplies
manageability by reducing the number of devices as well as through easy cable
routing via the cable management kit.
Accelerate data center infrastructure
The Z9500 can be deployed as a leaf and spine node in an Active
Fabric conguration for high-performance, low-latency fabric
switching. Accelerate east-web trac and optimize application
performance in scenarios where a 1:1 design is not required.
High-performance Active Fabric
Leverage the high port density of the Z9500 to consolidate network
functions at end-of-row. Enable massively scalable architectures
with 40GbE interconnects inside the fabric.
