Networking and communications equipment provider ADTRAN Inc. has announced the release of its 10G Ethernet Aggregation Switch, suited for businesses looking to support the growing demands for high-bandwidth VoIP, Wi-Fi, Gigabit-to-the-Desktop, and cloud connectivity.
The 10G Ethernet Switch can be leveraged as a high-capacity Top-of-Rack core switch or an aggregation switch in data center environments. Link aggregation allows for the grouping of up to four 10G ports into one 40G port at the physical layer for scalable high-bandwidth aggregation. As businesses look to adopt SDN-ready technologies, ADTRAN’s 10G Ethernet Switch offers an open and programmable architecture that can grow with customer requirements and provide a transitory solution for migrating to SDN-enabled networks.
“ADTRAN helps businesses make Gigabit a reality—whether they are looking to leverage 1 Gigabit services or prepare for the possibilities that are unfolding with 10G,” says Chris Thompson, director, customer devices portfolio, ADTRAN. “We’re enabling businesses to more easily support transformative Gigabit services. ADTRAN’s 10G Ethernet Switch is the next step in our path to connect the access network to the end consumer with next-generation technology and ultra-fast broadband speeds.”
