System Architecture Overview

1.2.1

System High Speed Data Ingest Architecture

The system main data ingest architecture uses two separate 50G Ethernet connections each on a dual

QSFP28 connector on the rear I/O of the chassis. This completes the connection from the device that is

inserted into a chassis slot, through the backplane into the QSFP connectors. The architecture supports

the hot swap nature of the devices and does not require any sort of shut down or disconnection before

servicing. Each 100G Ethernet connection is split in half at the QSFP28 connectors resulting in 50G per

connector allowing for dual port functionality with the device.
