NC8400-4TH, 4-Slot 4U Ethernet L3 Data Center Chassis Switch Unloaded, Supports 4x 40/100/400Gb Line Cards, Supports MLAG, Broadcom Chip

The NC8400-4TH switch supports a maximum of 128x 40G/100G, or 64x 40/100G with 16x 400G high-density ports through flexible line cards combinations of NC8400-32C and NC8400-16CD. It's optimal for spine deployments in large data centers, HPC, service providers and cloud providers.

The switch employs an advanced cache scheduling mechanism to maximize the device's cache capability. With PFC and ECN to implement the low-latency, zero packet loss, high throughput and service forwarding rate, ensuring non-blocking transmission in the increasingly demanding data center environment.

High-Performance Computing DC Data Center Security Resource Pool Data Center Interconnect (DCI) Layer 2

Provide continuous high-throughput network for HCP, AI training and more. Ideal for IDC hosting, entertainment, education, research, finance, and other industries. Read more

The security devices form a resource pool, and various services in the data center are drained on demand, fully protecting traffic security and ensuring efficient use of resources. Read more

Deploying VxLAN through DCI equipment provides Layer 2 interconnectivity between data centers across regions, enabling flexible deployment and migration of business across regions.

Flexible Port Combination with Multi-Rate Line Cards

2+2 Redundant Power Supplies and Smart Fans

Ship with four power supplies and smart fans by default, provide high availability and longevity.

5+1 Hot-swap Fans

Variable-speed fans for superior cooling, noise and power reduction

2+2 Dual AC PSU

PSUs can be removed/replaced without shutting down the system

MLAG Enhances System Reliability

MLAG virtualization technology realizes load balancing and improves link reliability. Supports device-independent upgrades to ensure second-level upgrades for services.

Lossless Ethernet and Zero Packet Loss

RDMA technology reduces CPU burden and effectively resolves network latency. PFC+ECN enables intelligent data exchange and prevents packet loss, ensuring lossless transmission.
