Deploy Juniper QFX spine-leaf fabric with EVPN-VXLAN — the same architecture used by hyperscalers globally — without purchasing millions of pesos in hardware. Pure OPEX, automated provisioning, 24/7 NOC operations.
QFX Platform
QFX switches run the same Junos OS as all Juniper platforms, enabling consistent automation and policy across your entire infrastructure. The Broadcom Tomahawk and Trident chipsets deliver wire-rate 100GbE and 400GbE forwarding with nanosecond-class latency.
The workhorse of modern datacenter leaf layers. EVPN-VXLAN Type 2 and Type 5 routes, active-active EVPN multihoming with LACP, and hardware-based VXLAN encapsulation at line rate. Ideal for TOR deployment in Philippine colocation racks.
Next-generation 400GbE spine for large-scale datacenter fabrics. Delivers massive east-west bandwidth for AI/ML workloads, cloud storage, and hyperscale virtualization. Supports Segment Routing with MPLS and SRv6.
High-performance spine for mid-sized datacenter fabrics. Dense 100GbE connectivity with ultra-low latency switching — critical for financial applications, database clusters, and storage area networks.
Purpose-built for national datacenter operators and large colocation facilities. Chassis-based design supports ISSU for zero-downtime fabric upgrades. Full EVPN-VXLAN, Segment Routing, and multicast support.
QFX spine and leaf switches connected via 100GbE or 400GbE uplinks. Each server connects to two leaf switches for redundancy.
Server traffic is encapsulated in VXLAN UDP packets at the leaf switch. VNIs (24-bit) provide up to 16 million isolated tenant segments.
BGP EVPN distributes MAC and IP addresses across the fabric automatically. No flooding, no STP loops — just clean, deterministic forwarding.
Symmetric IRB (Integrated Routing and Bridging) enables east-west routing directly on the leaf switches at line rate — no hairpinning through a central router.
Capabilities
The industry-standard for modern datacenter networking. EVPN (RFC 7432) provides the control plane for MAC/IP distribution; VXLAN (RFC 7348) provides the data plane overlay. This combination delivers unlimited scale, loop-free topology without STP, and seamless VM mobility across the fabric. All QFX platforms natively support EVPN-VXLAN in hardware.
EVPN ESI (Ethernet Segment Identifier) multihoming provides active-active dual-homing of servers and storage to two leaf switches simultaneously. This delivers full bandwidth utilization from both uplinks plus instant failover — no STP blocking, no standby link waste. Critical for servers running mission-critical Philippine banking or healthcare applications.
Our 1IX management platform automates the entire QFX fabric lifecycle. New leaf switches are added via ZTP — they boot, download their EVPN configuration, and join the fabric automatically. VLAN provisioning, tenant creation, and route leaking are managed through our portal without manual CLI work on individual switches.
EVPN-VXLAN VNIs (VXLAN Network Identifiers) provide complete layer 2 and layer 3 tenant separation across the same physical fabric. Philippine colocation operators can run hundreds of tenant networks on shared infrastructure with hardware-enforced isolation — no leakage between tenants. Ideal for cloud service providers and shared datacenter environments.
For multi-datacenter organizations, QFX combined with MX routers provides EVPN-based DCI over MPLS or IP underlay. Layer 2 and Layer 3 services stretch seamlessly between your Manila and Cebu datacenters with sub-50ms failover. EVPN Type 5 routes handle inter-DC routing without BGP complexity.
Our NOC uses Junos Telemetry Interface (JTI) streaming telemetry from every QFX in your fabric. We get per-interface traffic rates, ECMP load-balancing statistics, buffer utilization, and EVPN route counts in real time. Capacity planning reports are delivered monthly, with proactive recommendations before congestion impacts applications.
DC NaaS Tiers
A healthcare provider needed HIPAA-comparable compliant datacenter networking across four facilities for patient records, PACS imaging, and clinical applications. A traditional procurement for redundant datacenter fabrics across four sites would have taken 12+ months and cost ₱45M.
1IX deployed QFX5120 spine-leaf fabrics at each site with SRX1500 HA perimeter firewalls. EVPN-based DCI over MPLS connected all four sites with encrypted inter-site connectivity. Our NOC monitors all 16 switches 24/7 with strict change control and audit logging required for healthcare compliance.
