THE 7 DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS OF QFABRICThe architectural foundation of data centers for the next decade
7. Single logical device:that is highly reliable and scalable.
4. Linear cost and power scaling:
The cost and power consumption of QFabric increases linearly with the
number of interfaces.
5. Support of virtual networks
and services:from any interface to
any other interface without compromising
other properties.
3. No packet drops:Dynamic management ensures the data arrival rate matches the departure rate.
2. Low latency:Only microseconds at small scale and only about 10 microseconds at the very largest scale.
1. Connect to any interface within the network: Send and receive data to and from any set of interfaces without restrictions.
6. Modular distributed implementation:Built using a set of modular
hardware and software components that are highly
reliable and scalable.
QFabric is a quantum leap forward in data center networking speed, scale and e�ciency.
