8101-32H-O Overview
The Cisco 8101-32H-O is a 1RU, 100GbE open network switch optimized for data center Top of Rack, leaf, and spine roles. It delivers up to 3.2 Tbps of bandwidth via 32 QSFP28 ports with the efficiency of a 1RU form factor.
Based on the programmable Cisco Silicon One Q200 chipset, the Cisco 8101-32H-O provides wire-rate packet forwarding and routing capabilities. It runs SONiC, an open-source network operating system for switch automation and management.
With its high 100GbE port density and low power consumption, the 8101-32H-O is designed for large-scale data center fabrics. It provides an extremely efficient way to build out high-performance server access and leaf-spine networks.
