N5850-48S6Q bare metal switch meets the high-performance,
availability, and network-scaling requirements of enterprise
and cloud data centers which provides full line-rate switching
at Layer 2 or Layer 3 across 48x 10GbE ports and 6x 40GbE
uplinks.
Deployed either as a Top-of-Rack switch, or as part of a 10GbE
or 40GbE distributed spine, forming a non-blocking folded-
Clos data center fabric, N5850-48S6Q is an ideal Top-of-Rack
switch for virtualized data centers, with its support of VXLAN
and NVGRE tunneling functions in hardware.
