High Availability and Reliability

Both the fans and PSUs are hot-swappable to increase uptime, and front-to-back airflow allows the creation of optimal cooling configurations.

MLAG enables efficient network topologies that also increase uptime with dual-management, control planes, and upgrades that don’t affect services.

Load Sharing
Enables both PSUs to evenly distribute the load to increase reliability and lifetime.

1+1 redundancy
Maintains uptime even if a power supply fails.
