Description
The Edgecore AS9716-32D-O-AC-B-US is a high-performance open network 400 GbE data center switch designed for large-scale spine deployments in cloud and enterprise data centers. Powered by Broadcom Tomahawk III (BCM56980) silicon, it delivers 25.6 Tbps switching capacity and 7.88 Bpps forwarding performance, ensuring non-blocking throughput for demanding workloads.
This 1U switch provides 32 QSFP-DD ports, each supporting 1 × 400 GbE or 4 × 100 GbE/25 GbE via breakout cables. It’s pre-loaded with ONIE (Open Network Install Environment), allowing flexible installation of compatible open-source or commercial Network Operating Systems (NOS).
The AS9716-32D offers redundant, hot-swappable dual 1300 W AC power supplies and 5 + 1 fan modules with Power-to-Port airflow (back-to-front) for optimized cooling in data center environments. Built with an Intel Xeon D-1518 2.2 GHz CPU, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, and 50 GB M.2 SSD, this switch is ideal for open, scalable, and software-defined infrastructures requiring top-tier reliability and performance.
