Curation Review
✔ Pros:Industry-leading density with 64x800GbE in a 2U form factor; specifically optimized for AI/ML workloads with RoCEv2 and congestion management; highly automatable via Juniper Apstra.
✘ Cons:Significant initial investment cost; shallow 165MB shared buffer may lead to congestion in non-AI storage environments; learning curve for Junos OS Evolved.
