N8550-64C, 64-Port Ethernet L3 Data Center Switch, 64 x 100Gb QSFP28, PicOS®, Broadcom Tomahawk 2 Chip, Front-to-Back Airflow

The N8550-64C is a compact 2U switch delivering high-density 64x 40/100GbE for data centre spine-leaf networks. Its 100GbE ports can be channelized into 4x 25GbE, and 40GbE ports can be channelized into 4x 10GbE via breakout cables, increasing the total number of 10/25GbE logical ports to 64. Powered by PicOS® with a perpetual licence and 5-year service, it delivers advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities for spine-leaf deployments in service providers and cloud provider data centres, as well as for routing use cases in metro environments.
Manage your N8550-64C deployment with AmpCon-DC Management Platform, which automates the entyre network lifecycle to simplify design, deployment, and operations from Day 0 to Day 2+.
