DCS208 Data Center Switch

Data Center Switch

AS5812-54X

The Edgecore DCS208 switch meets the high-performance, availability, and network-scaling requirements of
enterprise and cloud data centers. The DCS208 provides full line-rate switching at Layer 2 or Layer 3 across 48 x
10GbE ports and 6 x 40GbE uplinks. The switch can be deployed either as a Top-of-Rack switch, or as part of a
10GbE or 40GbE distributed spine, forming a non-blocking folded-Clos data center fabric. The switch is rack
mountable in either a standard 19 inch rack, or with the Open Rack Switch Adapter in the 21 inch Open Rack.

The DCS208 hardware provides the high availability features required for data center operation, including;
redundant, hot-swappable AC or -48 VDC PSUs or 12 VDC power input; fan with 4+1 redundant fan modules; and
port-to-power or power-to-port airflow options. The DCS208 is an ideal Top-of-Rack switch for virtualized data
centers, with its support of VXLAN and NVGRE tunneling functions in hardware. This open network switch is loaded
with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE), which supports the installation of compatible Network
Operating System soſtware, including the open source options, plus commercial NOS offerings.
