Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

QFX and EX Series switches provide the universal building blocks for multiple data center fabric architectures, including Junos Fusion, Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF), Ethernet VPN (EVPN)-Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), and IP Fabric. With throughput of up to 6 Tbps per slot, QFX Series switches provide sustained wire-speed switching with low latency and jitter for virtualized data center environments. Redundant fabrics, power, and cooling, combined with separate control and data planes, ensure maximum system availability
