DS4100 Delivers Power and Efficiency for Data Center Networking
The rapid growth of data-intensive applications, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), has fueled the demand for high-density, high-performance data center switches. In response to this demand, Celestica has developed a game-changing
portfolio of 800G switches designed to deliver unprecedented bandwidth and port density, the ideal foundation for large, scalable data centers.
The latest addition to our 800G offering, the DS4100, is now shipping. A powerful top-of-rack, 16 port switch in a compact 1U form factor, the DS4100 delivers the high performance required for demanding applications like AI/ML and is even powerful enough
to be an efficient leaf/spine switch with all the redundancy required for modern data centers. With its higher power efficiency and lower per-port price point, the DS4100 can help provide 800G switching to a broader range of useful applications.
Celestica's DS4100
The DS4100 Performance Basics
The DS4100, based on the Broadcom TH4-12.8T switch chipset, offers 12.8Tbps non-blocking switching capacity. Within its compact 1U form factor, the DS4100 is equipped with the 112G SerDes (128 x 100G PAM4) for both simplicity and power efficiency.
As it helps to run enterprise and mission-critical apps, it was built to provide maximum up-time and includes hot-swappable power supplies and redundant fans.
Flexibility is Key
The DS4100 supports multi-speeds from 100GbE to 400GbE, allowing maximum flexibility depending on the attached devices on the 800G fabric solution such as Celestica’s DS4101 (25.6T) or DS5000 (51.2T) networking platforms. DS4100 supports current and future
network requirements through a modular architecture, including a COM-E modular x86-based control plane, a precise timing option, and a modular BMC Management plane for easier integration of automation tools familiar to server administrators.
As with our entire line of networking products, Celestica supports SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud) as a production-hardened, secure Network Operating System (NOS), including qualified optics
and cables that offers you the flexibility to create the network solutions needed while leveraging the collective strength of a large ecosystem and community. An ONIE installer is also provided to support third-party network operating systems.
A Range of Use Cases
Enabled by its flexibility combined with high bandwidth, redundant components and the latest efficient 100G SERDES technology, the DS4100 is ideal for:
- Front-end connectivity for AI/ML and Big Data Analytics
- Hyperscale Data Centers and Cloud Computing
- High-Performance Computing (HPC)
