QFX5700 Switches
The QFX5700 line leverages the power of a fully programmable chipset and supports advanced Layer 2, Layer 3, and EVPN-VXLAN features. The platform accommodates diverse data center, campus fabric, data center interconnect (DCI), and firewall cluster-to-fabric connection use cases. Interface speed choice for server and intra-fabric connectivity enables deployment versatility and investment protection.
Public cloud providers and service providers looking to meet explosive growth gain support for proven, Internet-scale 400GbE IP fabrics. For enterprise customers transitioning their server farms from 10GbE to 25GbE, the QFX5700/QFX5700E provides a radix-native 100GbE/400GbE EVPN-VXLAN spine option with reduced power in a smaller footprint. With up to 25.6 Tbps of bidirectional throughput, the switch is optimized for spine-and-leaf deployments in enterprise, high-performance computing, service provider, and cloud data centers.

Features + Benefits
Junos OS Evolved Architecture
Native Linux operating system with a modular design enables individual functional components to be upgraded independently while the system remains operational. Localization of component failures can be corrected by upgrading and restarting the specific component without having to bring down the entire device.
Network Automation
Support for intent-based automation, Terraform, Python, Puppet, Ansible, and zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) addresses growing network complexity in Day 0 to Day 2+ operations.
Fabric Management
Intent-based Juniper Apstra network automation software provides full Day 0 through Day 2+ capabilities for IP/EVPN fabrics with closed-loop assurance in the data center.
Campus Deployments
The Juniper Mist Wired Assurance service simplifies the deployment and management of campus fabrics while also providing valuable insights and wired network service-level experience (SLE) metrics and visibility.
