The Soul Ra DDC400X32B switch is a programmable leaf or spine switch for large scale data centers. In a 1RU form factor, the switch provides line-rate L2 switching and L3 routing, deep packet inspection, and traffic load balancing etc, across the 32 x QSFP-DD ports that support up to 32 x 400 GbE connections . The DDC400X32B can be deployed as a leaf switch supporting 25 /50 /100 GbE to servers, routers etc. with 100 /400 GbE uplinks, or as a spine switch supporting 100/400 GbE leaf and spine interconnects. This open network switch is loaded with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE ), which supports the installation of compatible Network Operating System software, including the open source option and commercial NOS offerings.
