Data Center Solutions

Modern Data Center Network Architecture

Build high-performance, automated data center fabrics with spine-leaf architecture, EVPN-VXLAN overlays, and intelligent automation that scale from a single rack to multi-site deployments.

Data Center Switching
The Challenge

Data Centers Demand Predictable, Scalable Performance

AI/ML training clusters, containerized microservices, and high-frequency trading applications all share one requirement: predictable, low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity. Traditional three-tier architectures create traffic bottlenecks, oversubscription, and operational complexity that cannot keep pace. WatchDog Data Center Solutions deliver a spine-leaf fabric that provides equal-cost paths between every server, sub-microsecond latency, and automated operations from initial deployment through ongoing optimization.

12.8 Tbps

Fabric Bandwidth

Per-spine switching capacity delivering wire-speed forwarding for the most demanding workloads.

< 1 µs

Fabric Latency

Cut-through forwarding with sub-microsecond latency from any leaf to any leaf across the fabric.

50%

TCO Reduction

Automation-driven operations, efficient power consumption, and simplified architecture reduce total cost.

Zero

Downtime Upgrades

Hitless ISSU and graceful restart capabilities eliminate planned maintenance windows entirely.

Architecture

Spine-Leaf Fabric Design

A disaggregated, standards-based architecture where every leaf connects to every spine, providing predictable bandwidth and eliminating the oversubscription inherent in legacy designs.

Spine Layer

Spine Layer

High-radix spine switches providing non-blocking, equal-cost multipath forwarding across the fabric. Every leaf connects to every spine, ensuring predictable east-west bandwidth and eliminating bottlenecks.

Leaf Layer

Leaf Layer

Top-of-rack leaf switches that connect directly to servers, storage, and appliances. Each leaf aggregates local traffic and forwards to the spine for cross-rack communication via VXLAN tunnels.

EVPN-VXLAN Overlay

EVPN-VXLAN Overlay

A standards-based overlay network that decouples the logical topology from the physical infrastructure, enabling seamless workload mobility, multi-tenancy, and network virtualization.

Management & Automation

Management & Automation

Day-0 through day-2 automation with WatchDog Fabric Manager providing intent-based provisioning, real-time fabric health monitoring, and closed-loop remediation.

Capabilities

Built for Modern Workloads

Every capability is engineered to deliver the performance, resilience, and operational efficiency that modern data center workloads demand.

Automated Fabric Provisioning

Zero-touch deployment from bare metal to fully operational fabric in minutes. Define your intent, and WatchDog Fabric Manager translates it into device configurations, validates connectivity, and monitors compliance.

Multi-Tenancy & Segmentation

Hardware-enforced tenant isolation with EVPN-VXLAN virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instances. Each tenant receives dedicated routing tables, security policies, and QoS profiles without physical separation.

High Availability

Eliminate single points of failure with redundant spine switches, ECMP load balancing, BFD-triggered fast reroute, and hitless in-service software upgrades.

Data Center Interconnect

Extend your fabric across multiple data centers with EVPN multi-site architecture, enabling workload mobility, disaster recovery, and active-active service delivery.

Network Telemetry & Analytics

Streaming telemetry and sFlow provide granular visibility into fabric health, traffic patterns, and application performance for proactive planning.

Hardware-Level Security

MACsec 256-bit line-rate encryption, microsegmentation at the leaf layer, and integrated threat detection ensure protection without performance compromise.
