With a rich tradition since 1994,
Award-Winning Product Highlights:
- Providing the foundation for AI Data Centers, the QFX5240 Switch is built on Broadcom Tomahawk 5 silicon and offers high-density 800GbE ports in a 2U fixed form factor, which is twice the capacity of the previous generation.
- It is designed to meet the advanced networking requirements of large-scale clusters and works seamlessly with the Juniper® Apstra Intent-Based Networking platform, ensuring smooth operation for AI and machine learning workloads during training and access. In addition, Apstra is now integrated with the Marvis virtual network assistant (VNA), bringing AIOps to the data center.
- As a cornerstone of AI networks, these switches enable fast job completion times (JCT) and accelerate training through high GPU utilization.
- Proactively simulates user connections digitally to learn the network configuration via unsupervised machine learning and proactively highlight network issues, working with Mist AI™ to instantly validate network configurations and find/detect problems before they have a chance to negatively impact end user experiences.
- The tool constantly learns as it ingests more data, using its growing knowledge base to proactively correct issues in real time, reduce the number of trouble tickets and accelerate issue resolution.
- As the first AI-Native Networking Digital Experience Twin, Minis transforms how IT teams interact with enterprise networks across wireless access, wired access and SD-WAN domains.
