N8610-32D switch is a high density and power efficient fixed configuration data center switch, delivering wirespeed layer 2 and layer 3 with flexible resources, robust traffic management and load balancing features, optimized for AI generated content lossless network.
N8610-32D switch is designed for multiple deployment roles. As the data center leaf, it provides 100G and 400G connectivity, addressing today’s high end storage and HPC requirements as well as future server connectivity. Implemented at the spine, the N8610-32D switch provides up to 32 ports of 400G in a single rack unit, enabling efficient high radix clusters that maximize 12.8 Tbps bandwidth performance of compute and storage by eliminating bottlenecks between leaf and spine tiers. All ports support 2x 200GbE, 4x 100GbE, up to 128 interfaces.

A high-density 32 x 400GbE QSFP-DD switch that is backward compatible with 100G QSFP28 modules. Break out each 400G QSFP-DD port into 2 x 200GbE or 4 x 100GbE to get up to 128 ports in a 1RU switch.
Equipped with built-in RoCEv2 capabilities, the switch offers advanced features such as PFC, ECN, and dynamic load balancing, enabling low-latency, lossless communication for RDMA-based AI workloads—without requiring additional investment in network infrastructure.
RoCE EasyDeploy simplifies lossless network deployment by automating PFC and ECN configuration, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors to accelerate high-performance fabric rollout for AI and HPC workloads.
AmpCon-DC Management Platform offers Day 0 to Day 2+ capabilities to manage PicOS® data center switches, enabling provisioning, monitoring, troubleshooting, and maintenance for higher resource utilization and lower opex.
