High Performance 10/25/40/50/100G Top of Rack Ethernet Switch

The Advantech Networking ESP-9230 is a high-performance, power-efficient, 100Gbps Top-of-Rack (TOR) switch designed for data center use. The ESP-9230 delivers line-rate L2 and L3 forwarding capacity on all ports in this compact, 1-rack-unit (1U) model. The ESP-9230 is loaded with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) which supports installation of compatible NOS, including Open Network Linux and commercial offerings. The Advantech Networking ESP-9230 is a Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) switch with 32 QSFP28 ports. Each QSFP28 port can operate at 10, 25, 40, 50, and 100 Gbps, up to a maximum of 128 x 25-Gbps ports. _x000D_ While running with a powerful x86-based processor, this system is not only the highest performing switch fabric element, but also has the ability to a Linux running server into the same device. Including the ONIE software offering, the ESP-9230 has three software offerings in total to fulfill different customer applications. Details are below. _x000D_ (1) Powered by the Broadcom OF-DPA pipeline, the ESP-9230 becomes a 3.2T OpenFlow switch plus a high-end NFV computer platform in a single 1U device. The Broadcom switch silicon, managed by the OpenFlow protocol for the Broadcom OF-DPA, provides full line rate switching across all ports. _x000D_ (2) With the Broadcom FASTPATH®, the ESP-9230 helps users achieve quick time-to-market for new Ethernet products. FASTPATH operates on the Linux operating system and supports numerous industry RFCs, standards and protocols, like L2 and L3 Ethernet switching, and routing protocols. _x000D_ (3) Loaded with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE), the ESP-9230 supports the installation of compatible independent switchOS offerings. The ESP-9230 supports the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) for zero touch installation of network operating systems.
