The chassis-based platform, which is designed for large enterprise and service-provider networks, provides the ability to scale to terabit switching capacity in a modular fashion. Separate modules are dedicated to both device management and packet processing. With this architecture, the packet forwarding engine is implemented in common switching control unit. Multiple switching modes are thus possible. Allied Telesis said that it designed this platform especially for networks migrating from IPv4 to IPv6, and for where hybrid topologies are required. In addition, the SwitchBlade 6000S Series supports virtual routing functionality (VRF) to enable distinct networks to work together as one system. For example, in the case of a merger or acquisition, this chassis can map two networks seamlessly despite overlapping Internet protocol (IP) addresses. "The SwitchBlade 6000S Series is the next step in our evolution as a conscientious innovator responding to the needs of our customers," said Dael Bartlett, product strategy and marketing director, Allied Telesis. "We have always had a strong set of solutions at the edge of the network, and the introduction of the Switchblade 6000S Series adds to the network core the same level of reliability and capabilities our customers have experienced in our access and aggregation devices." The base chassis systems are available in three sizes, providing the appropriate port density and bandwidth depending on specific customer requirements. http://www.alliedtelesis.com 26-Apr-10     Learn How to Get Your Video on this Site Recent Service Provider News Verizon Business Extends Cloud Services with VMware 8/31/2010 SingTel Launches Services over NGNBN Fibre 8/31/2010 Singapore's Next Gen Nationwide Broadband Network Launches 8/31/2010 Clearwire Offers Pay-As-You-Go Mobile Broadband, $5/Day 8/30/2010 SK Telecom Selects ALU's MPLS-TP Packet Optical Backhaul 8/27/2010 Taiwan's Chunghwa Sees Further FTTx Substitution for ADSL 8/26/2010 Qwest Introduces Cloud-based Recovery Service 8/26/2010 FiberTech Networks Sold to Investor Group for $500 Million 8/26/2010 eircom Wholesale Launches Carrier Ethernet Across Ireland 8/26/2010 Kenya's Safaricom Deploys NSN's Subscriber Data Platform 8/25/2010 IBM Warns that Security Vulnerabilities Reach Record Levels 8/25/2010 Google Enables Phone Calling from Gmail 8/25/2010 China Telecom to Accelerate FTTH and Mobile Rollouts 8/25/2010 AT&T Adds VoIP Service to Enterprise VPN Service 8/24/2010 China Mobile Tops 554 Million Customers 8/19/2010 > More news...     Search  this site   Search the Web   Get Your Column Published Emergency Response and Wireless Location Systems by Manlio Allegra Interview: NSN's Sue Spradley on LightSquared's Wholesale Mobile Data Paradigm by Sue Spradley Mobile Backhaul Transition Requires New Testing by Joe Zeto Cybersecurity Requires Public/Private Coalition by Greg Oslan A Rethinking of Cloud Services and Network Architecture by Jim Theodoras Delivering Scalable Video Solutions <br><i> Advantages of SVC-Optimized QoS</i> by Andy Singleton
