QFabric flattens and simplifies the network by allowing multiple devices to act as one. It provides the scale and resiliency of a network and the performance and simplicity of a single switch. Learn more at http://www.juniper.net/us/en/dm/datacenter/

1. THE 7 DEFINING
CHARACTERISTICS OF QFABRIC
The architectural foundation of data centers for the next decade
QFabric is a quantum leap forward in data center networking speed, scale and e ciency.
Up to 10 times faster 1 device to manage vs. 77% less power
193 devices to manage
10%
1/5 the carbon emissions 90% less floor space A 9 fold reduction
in operating resources
Advantages over Cisco Nexus deploying FabricPath and vPC for a 6000 port configuration
1. Connect to 7. Single logical device:
any interface within that is highly reliable and scalable.
the network:
Send and receive data to and
from any set of interfaces 6. Modular distributed
without restrictions. implementation:
Built using a set of modular
hardware and software
components that are highly
reliable and scalable.
2. Low latency:
Only microseconds at
small scale and only 5. Support of
about 10 microseconds virtual networks
at the very largest scale. and services:
from any interface to
any other interface
without compromising
other properties.
3. No packet drops: 4. Linear cost and
Dynamic management power scaling:
ensures the data arrival rate The cost and power consumption of
matches the departure rate. QFabric increases linearly with the
number of interfaces.
