HIGH-DENSITY 400GE/100GE DATA CENTER SWITCHES SERIES

The switch offers high-density 100G/40G/25G/10G ports and a forwarding capacity as high as 6.4Tbps, which enables the switch to provide high-density server access in high-end data centers without oversubscriptions

Designed to meet the demands of modern data center switching architectures, the switch series supports advanced WatchDog Virtual Switching System (VSS) technology, enabling multiple physical switches to operate as a single logical device. This virtualization enhances network scalability, reliability, availability, and simplified management while providing a highly resilient infrastructure. VSS supports long-distance intelligent elastic architecture within a rack, across multiple racks, and even between geographically distributed locations. For the WD-DC-32QF, VSS stacking delivers convergence times of less than 50 milliseconds, ensuring rapid failover and minimal network disruption

WatchDog Data Center switches support VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN), enabling highly scalable Layer 2 network segmentation while improving utilization of available network paths. VXLAN allows seamless network expansion without the limitations of traditional VLANs. The switches also support MP-BGP EVPN (Multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol Ethernet VPN), which acts as the VXLAN control plane. This simplifies VXLAN deployment, eliminates unnecessary traffic flooding, and reduces full-mesh requirements between VTEPs through the use of BGP Route Reflectors. For converged network environments, WatchDog Data Center switches support Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), allowing storage, data, and computing traffic to share a single unified network. This convergence significantly reduces network infrastructure complexity and overall construction and maintenance costs. In addition, the switches support Data Center Bridging (DCB) technologies, including Priority-based Flow Control (PFC), Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS), and Data Center Bridging Exchange (DCBX). These capabilities ensure low latency and near-zero packet loss for Fibre Channel storage, RDMA workloads, and high- performance computing applications.

As data centres continue to grow in scale and complexity, reliability and operation and maintenance (O&M) have become key challenges to further expansion. WatchDog Data Center switches align with the trend toward automated O&M and data center visualization, enabling intelligent, transparent, and efficient network operations. The switches support Inband Network Telemetry (INT), an advanced monitoring technology that continuously collects device and network data with a single configuration. Compared to traditional query-based monitoring, INT significantly reduces device processing overhead while providing real-time visibility into timestamps, device IDs, port status, and buffer utilization. INT is supported across IP, EVPN, and VXLAN network environments. To provide comprehensive traffic insight, WatchDog Data Center switches offer multiple traffic monitoring and analytics tools, including sFlow, NetStream, SPAN/RSPAN/ERSPAN, and port mirroring. These capabilities enable precise traffic analysis, application visibility, network health assessment, traffic engineering, and optimized resource utilization. In addition, the switches support real-time monitoring of buffers and port queues, enabling dynamic and visualized network optimization. Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is also supported to deliver highly.
