    Product Applications Scenarios

    Data Center
    Converges LAN and SAN with 10GE and FCoE, simplifying spine‑leaf designs, cutting cabling complexity, and reducing latency for virtualized workloads in modern data centers.
    Cloud Services
    High 10GE density and rich L2/L3 features support multi-tenant clouds, enabling traffic isolation, ECMP routing, and scalable bandwidth for private and hybrid cloud stacks.
    Enterprise Network
    Acts as a resilient aggregation/core switch, using vPC, VRF, and advanced QoS to support campus uplinks, server farms, and business‑critical applications with high availability.
