Juniper Networks QFX10002-72Q

The Juniper QFX10002-72Q is a fixed 2U switch offering 72 x 40G QSFP+ ports with breakout support, for an aggregate throughput of 5.76 Tbps and 2 Bpps forwarding performance. Its MAC table holds 512,000 entries and supports up to 2 million IPv4 and IPv6 routes, with 128,000 multicast routes per address family. Running JUNOS, it integrates 16 GB of RAM, a 64 GB SSD, and comprehensive management connectivity including RJ-45, SFP, and USB.

The QFX10002-72Q differentiates itself from the 60C model by offering 72 x 40G ports - a 20% increase in port count within the same 2U chassis - making it the preferred choice for leaf-spine architectures that require more fanout. It is particularly well suited to HPC, distributed storage, and interconnect fabric environments. Genuine hardware, manufacturer warranty.
