Compatible SFP+ Transceiver for Supermicro SuperSwitch SSE-G3648B

The Layer 2/3 Ethernet switches complement Supermicro’s growing portfolio of switches in the open network space. Open networks enable customers to use valuable data center resources most efficiently and flexible while providing the ideal platform to manage and maintain these resources in a way that meets the needs of the organization. The switch provides 48 1 Gbps RJ45 Ethernet ports and four 10 Gbps SFP+ uplinks, allowing connections to servers at 1 Gbps while aggregating traffic to connect to higher speed servers, routers, and other backbone network switches. The compact 1U form factor allows users to optimize deployment in a standalone or rack top environment. This pair of mounting flanges facilitates rack mounting.

SuperSwitch SSE-G3648B Overview

The SSE-G3648B / R is preloaded with an Open Network Installation Environment (ONIE) to prepare you for the network operating system of your choice. Like other bare metal switches from Supermicro, the SSE-G3648B / R switch is truly open – customers can deploy the software solution that best fits their application. Supermicro recommends using Cumulus Linux on the SSE-G3648B / R. Cumulus Linux is an open network operating system that combines a true Linux distribution with extensive network capabilities and hardware acceleration for routing and switching functions. By using many of the same tools for servers, Cumulus Linux delivers affordable scalability, saves CapEx, and saves more OpEx. It frees up rapid innovation through custom, open source or commercial Linux tools and applications. Embedded X86 Linux-based controllers are ideal for running configuration tools commonly used for servers.
