The IntraCore Product Family
The Asanté IntraCore Architecture is the basis for a family of switching system
products in fixed, stackable, and chassis form factors that allow customers to
integrate telephony, video and data applications. Initially, the offered systems
provide high performance, high port-count, Layer-2 switching. Additional
configurations will be introduced to offer advanced Layer-3 and above routing,
traffic classification, advanced QoS, higher bandwidth and port capacity. All
systems will be consistent in their operation and management allowing
customers to seamlessly deploy any model in their network.
Edge Switches
Edge Switches provide the first point of connectivity to the network.
Connecting to an Enterprise Switch in the network core, Edge Switches provide
aggregation of traffic from desktop computers over high capacity trunks.
Asanté has introduced the following products in the Edge Switch category:
❑
IntraCore 8000
❑
IntraCore 6524
Enterprise Switches
In the network core, Enterprise Switches are deployed to aggregate traffic from
wiring closets and provide high-speed connectivity to network servers. Typically
these switches are modular in form, and can be easily upgraded or reconfigured.
This flexibility provides for customized configurations to meet a wide variety of
requirements. The initial product introduced in this category is the IntraCore
9000.
