Force10がデータセンタ向け40Gスイッチを発表
Force10がデータセンタ向け40Gスイッチを発表しました。
特徴は2Uという省スペースでありながら、40GbEを32ポート搭載、転送容量が2.5 Tbpsという点でしょうか。
データセンターのように大量のGbEポートが必要なソリューションにうまくハマりそうです。
その他の特徴は以下のとおり
- 2-RU high-density 10/40 GbE Aggregation/Core Switch with 32 x 40 GbE ports expandable to 128 10 GbE ports using QSFP+ breakout cables
- 2.5 Tbps (full-duplex) non-blocking, cut-through switching fabric delivers line-rate performance under full load
- Scalable L2 and L3 Ethernet switching with QoS and a full complement of standards-based IPv4 for unicast and multicast applications
- CLOS based architecture enables you to build a line-rate, non-blocking core for 2000 10 GbE servers
- Combined with S4810 in the access layer with 3:1 oversubscription, a distributed core can provide connectivity to 6000 10 GbE servers
- Control Plane Policing (CoPP) for policing control plane traffic providing protection to CPU from DOS attacks
- Open Automation Framework adds VM-awareness as well as automated configuration and provisioning capabilities to simplify the management of virtual network environments
- Modular Force10 Operating System (FTOS) software delivers inherent stability as well as advanced monitoring and serviceability functions
- VirtualView real-time network and application traffic monitoring for virtualized data centers
- Data Center Bridging (DCB) support* enables a lossless Ethernet fabric for iSCSI storage and NFS traffic
- 128 link aggregation groups with up to 8 members per group, using advanced hashing with random seed values
- Supports jumbo frames for high-end server connectivity
- Reversible front-to-back or back-to-front airflow
- Total aggregated packet buffer memory of 54MB
- Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans
- Hardware support for TRILL, EVB, DCB* (Roadmap)
- Low power consumption
