908
| Advanced Layer 3 Modular Switch
Ethernet Protected Switched Rings (EPSR) and 10 GbE modules allow the
SwitchBlade x908, with a number of x900 switches or iMAPs, to form a high
speed protected ring with sub 50ms failover, as illustrated in Diagram 4 above.
This feature is perfect for high performance at the core of enterprise or
provider access networks.
The SwitchBlade x908 QoS features are ideal for Service Providers wanting
to ensure maximum availability of premium voice, video and data services,
and at the same time manage customer service level agreements.
Comprehensive, low latency Quality of Service (QoS) features operating at
wire-speed provide flow-based traffic management with full classification,
prioritization, traffic shaping and min/max bandwidth profiles.
The SwitchBlade x908 has a high multicast group capacity. This allows Service
Providers to offer as many video services to thier customers as possible,
maximizing their per-port revenue. The SwitchBlade x908 Advanced Modular
switch provides maximum Gigabit Ethernet port density in a 3RU chassis. A high
degree of flexibility future-proofs your investment against changes in network
infrastructure, topologies, and physical link requirements.
New XEM modules will provide greater Ethernet connectivity options in the
future allowing the network to adapt in response to business needs.
Able to operate with one Power Supply Unit (PSU), installing a second PSU
provides redundancy and the ability to support dual feed where needed.
Internal PSUs eliminate the need for an external Redundant Power Supply (RPS)
which occupies valuable rack space. Built-in redundancy guarantees the continued
delivery of essential services.
