908
| Advanced Layer 3 Modular Switch
With two 80Gbps stacking ports on the rear of the device, the
SwitchBlade x908 is an ideal solution for Enterprises wanting to create a
resilient core without going to the expense of a full chassis solution. The use
of stacking across the two devices allows them to appear as a single node on
the network.
10GbE expansion modules and hotswappable XFPs provide high-speed,
high-capacity fiber uplinks.
Link aggregation between the stacked core and distribution layer, as illustrated in
Diagram 3, provides increased bandwidth as well as resiliency. Link aggregation
to the servers creates a resilient connection to important data.
The SwitchBlade x908 switch allows two power supplies to be installed. Able to
operate with one Power Supply Unit (PSU), installing a second PSU provides
redundancy and the ability to support dual feed where needed.
