64 ×100G Intel Tofino P4 -programmable Bare Metal Switch
Based on Tofino switching silicon, X564P-T is Top-of-Rack (TOR) or spine switch for high-performance data centers. With its ASIC-level programmability, it can also be deployed as a smart gateway switch to respond to different network scenarios.
- 64 x 100Gb QSFP28,6.4Tbps
- Dual-redundant, load-sharing, hot-swappable PSUs
- 3+1 redundant, hot-swappable fan modules
After installing software, the X564P-T can be deployed as a spine switch as well as smart gateway for tasks such as traffic management, load balance and security processing with its ASIC level programmability enabling flexibility in dealing with different network application scenarios.

FAQ
This hardware based on Intel/Barefoot Tofino 1; CX-N series on Marvell Teralynx
In the hardware bare metal, there are two options: 1. ONIE; 2. ONIE with ONL or Debian.
If you want develop application for P4 data plane, then the SDE from intel would help you, we will offer you patch for BSP of platform for the SDE; if you want to develop a switch like application, you can use SONiC from community and we will offer you patches to support our hardware; We can even help you to combine P4 and SONiC together to reduce you time-to-market. We have a 30+ people team working on P4 related work and rich experience to develop varies network traffic processing applications on Tofino.
It depends on what kind of application are you developing, usually people can start from SONiC community version for switch enhancement, we can offer you a ready-to-run SONiC version as your development basis; or people need to develop some new applications like NPB or gateway using P4, at this time you will have get a license from Intel, usually it is a huge project when you start your development, let’s discuss in the meeting to see how we can help.
