Wedge 100-32X
100GbE Data Center Switch
Product Overview
The Edgecore Wedge 100-32X is a commercial product based on Facebook’s Wedge 100 design. Facebook
designed the Wedge 100 as a 32 x 100 GbE Top-of-Rack switch optimized for web-scale data centers, and submitted
the design to the Open Compute Project. Edgecore’s parent company, Accton Technology, performed the design
validation for Facebook and manufactures the Wedge 100 for Facebook’s deployment. Edgecore now offers the
Wedge 100 as a fully supported commercial product to enable network operators to increase capacity with 25 G and
100 G networking.
The Wedge 100 switch provides 32 QSFP28 ports that can each run at 100 GbE/40 GbE, or as 4 x 25 GbE/
4 x 10 GbE/2 x 50 GbE through breakout cables. The Wedge 100 design is based on the Broadcom BCM56960
Tomahawk 3.2 Tbps switch silicon. The Wedge CPU subsystem is the COM-E CPU module, based on the Intel Atom
E3800 x86 processor. The use of this standard CPU system, coupled with the BMC (Baseboard Management
Controller) on the Wedge main board, enables the Wedge 100 to be provisioned and managed using similar tools
used by data center operators for their server and application environments.
