Wedge-16X
40GbE Data Center Switch
Hardware Development Kit
Product Overview
The Edge-Core Wedge-16X is the first commercial product based on Facebook’s Wedge design. Facebook designed
Wedge as a 16x40GbE Top-of-Rack switch optimized for web-scale data centers, and submitted the design to the Open
Compute Project. Edge-Core’s parent company, Accton Technology, performed the design validation for Facebook and
manufactures Wedge for Facebook’s deployment. Edge-Core now offers the Wedge-16X as a hardware development
kit to allow customers to develop software applications for the switch and evaluate Wedge-16X for deployments in their
data center networks.
The Wedge-16X switch provides sixteen QSFP ports which can each run at 40GbE, or as 4x10GBE through breakout
cables. The Wedge design is based on Broadcom BCM56850 Trident II 1.28 Tbps switch silicon. The Wedge CPU
sub-system is the OCP-standard Panther+ Microserver module, based on Intel Atom C2550 x86 processor. The use of
this standard CPU system, coupled with the BMC (baseband management processor) on the Wedge main board,
enables the Wedge-16X with appropriate software to be provisioned and managed using similar tools used by data
center operators for their server and application environments.
The Wedge-16X switch is available as a hardware development kit which includes the bare-metal switch with firmware
providing diagnostics and OpenBMC functions. The Wedge-16X is compatible with the FBOSS agent open-source
software which has been contributed by Facebook to OCP.
