BANGALORE, India - November 21, 2013
Allied Telesis,
a global provider of secure IP/Ethernet switching solutions, announces
enhancements to the SwitchBlade x8100 series products. As part of its
ongoing commitment to innovation, Allied Telesis has announced a series
of enhancements to both the hardware and operating system features of
the SwitchBlade x8100 series.
The SwitchBlade x8106 chassis 
Although
a number of customers are interested in a large chassis-based switch,
many mid-sized enterprise organisations are looking for the benefits of a
chassis-based switch - such as performance and resilience - in a
compact chassis. To meet these needs, Allied Telesis will release the
SwitchBlade x8106 chassis. This product delivers all the features and
benefits of the SwitchBlade x8112, in a compact 4RU 6-slot chassis.
The CFC960 control module
Organisations
such as schools, universities, hospitals and large government
customers, need solutions that deliver performance, density and a large
total port count. To meet these requirements, Allied Telesis has
released the CFC960 control module, which is capable of delivering a
total of 1.92Tbps and supporting 160 10GbE ports in a single 7RU
chassis. Along with exceptional high performance, the CFC960 also
supports Allied Telesis Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack). This enables
two SwitchBlade x8100 chassis to operate and be managed as a single
entity, delivering complete redundancy to large scale network
environments.
Allied Management Framework (AMF)
In
July 2013, the organisation released Allied Management Framework (AMF) -
a technology designed to reduce the cost and complexity of managing
network infrastructure. Research has shown that up to 60% of the total
cost of owning and operating network infrastructure comes from routine
tasks, so AMF was created to automate these tasks, thus reducing the
total cost of ownership. At the time of its release, AMF was capable of
managing up to 40 network nodes, the equivalent of almost 300
switches. With further enhancements and the subsequent release of the
CFC960, AMF can now manage up to 120 nodes - nearly 1000switches. This
meets the needs of all but the largest of networks.
"With
these enhancements, Allied Telesis has made significant improvements to
its SwitchBlade x8100 family and can now meet a huge range of network
requirements, from mid-enterprise to large government organisations.
And with AMF embedded within the network, there is no other solution on
the market that delivers the same performance while also assisting users
to reduce their total cost of ownership," said Mr Subhasish Gupta, Country Manager - India & SAARC at Allied Telesis .
With
over 25 years of experience, Allied Telesis has focused its activities
on the development of networking solutions and IP network architectures
that are in accordance with market standards, and optimized for
innovative applications demanded by end-users. As a result, their
solutions and products meet the increased marketplace demand for
performance, quality of service and security.
