Jesus tap dancing christ those are AWESOME.

How much Heat/Power/Scalability do they have? Is there a price on them? we are JUST getting to 10GB in the home and now 100GB hits the enterprise...

Its actually a pretty cool switch, especially with the ports that can divide into 4x25 or 2x50. I imagine a spline based design with 2 switches like this, 540ish hosts each connected to each switch @ 25gbe and an 8-way 200gbe ECMP to your backbone. Just imagining, maybe...

2.5 years ago it was 40g spine/leaf, now it's 100g and seeing 25g instead of just 10g for access. That's in the enterprise space, the hyperscale DC's are well ahead of the curve, these announcements really confirm this is the new normal.

40g was always an outlier. Too expensive to really deploy for a lot of reasons.

The more recent development of 25/50/100 using common plant and structured fiber makes 25g to the host dead easy and cost effective, with clear upgrades possible up to 200g all on the same plant. And 25g to the host is now actually less expensive to deploy at scale than 10.
