Formulated, it has become an industry standard."
Promote 25/100GE technology in a leaf-spine network for maximum efficiency and scale-out
By applying StrataXGS Tomahawk-based switches, 10G Ethernet is currently used in the top (leaves) and 40G Ethernet data center networks are used at the end of the column (the backbone) without increasing the footprint or wiring complexity of the network equipment. Upgrade to 25G and 100G Ethernet connections separately to easily accommodate the growing demand for distributed server/storage system loads. With a standard, small, and cost-effective footprint, the StrataXGS Tomahawk switch's three-tier data center architecture provides 15 times more bandwidth than existing networks3.
When using the StrataXGS Tomahawk-based 25G Ethernet for server-to-switch 40G upgrades, you can reduce the number of interconnect components in the rack by up to 75%, while increasing the number of interconnected servers and storage nodes that can be accommodated in a leaf-to-backbone topology. Double 4. Compared to existing 40G Ethernet solutions, this solution has advantages in terms of bandwidth efficiency and port density, so it can provide unprecedented data expansion capabilities for modern data centers and achieve a huge return on investment.
