Advanced SDN Switch oering 40Gbps/100Gbps Ethernet
Performance in a Compact 1U Enclosure
The SSE-C3632S Layer 2/3 Ethernet Switch is the latest entry from Supermicro in the Open
Networking arena. Open Networking provides customers with the ability to maximize the
ecient and exible use of valuable data center resources while providing an ideal platform
for managing and maintaining those resources in a manner in tune with the needs of the
organization.
Oering thirty-two 40Gbps/100Gbps Ethernet ports, SSE-C3632S switch enables robust
layer-3 IP fabric for exible layer-2 overlay in Ethernet fabric architecture. For modern scale-out,
leaf-and-spine data center network deployments, SSE-C3632S is positioned as the high-speed
spine layer to provide scalable bi-sectional fabric bandwidth for leaf layer such as SSE-X3648S
switch. Depending on deployment connectivity, physical Ethernet QSFP28 ports in SSE-C3632S
can be congured for either 40Gbps or 100Gbps port, thus allow exible physical connectivity
option between spine layer and leaf layer in the data center Ethernet fabric. Compact 1U form
factor gives users the ability to optimize deployment in standalone or top-of-rack environments.
A rail kit facilitates rack-mounting installations. Reverse-airow model, the SSE-C3632SR, is
available for use in large data centers with alternating hot and cold equipment aisles. These
switches are ideal for deployment in Data Center, Cloud and Enterprise environments with the
capability of handling access for the most demanding applications.
Pre-loaded with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE), the SSE-C3632S/R is ready for
your networking operating system of choice. Supermicro recommends the use of Cumulus
Linux on the SSE-C3632S. Cumulus Linux is an OS for open networking incorporating a true
Linux distribution with extensive networking features plus hardware acceleration of routing
and switching functions. By using many of the same tools employed for servers, Cumulus
Linux enables aordable scalability with clear CapEx savings and even greater OpEx savings; it
unleashes rapid innovation via custom, open source or commercial Linux tools and applications.
