FORCE10 BUILDS AND SECURES HIGH PERFORMANCE NETWORKS WITH EXPANDED PORTFOLIO OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND SECURITY SOLUTIONS
MILPITAS, Calif., May 1, 2006 — Force10 Networks® today announced that it is building and securing many of the world’s high performance networks with its TeraScale E-Series switch/routers, S-Series data center switches and P-Series security appliances. The entire Force10 product portfolio will be showcased at this week’s Interop conference in Las Vegas.
“Force10 is committed to advancing the state of the art in high performance networking,” said Sachi Sambandan, vice president of engineering at Force10 Networks. “The technological innovations that Force10 has made in networking infrastructure and security enable organizations to efficiently leverage their networks as a strategic asset.”
The Force10 TeraScale E-Series family of switch/routers combines leading density and resiliency to fundamentally alter the economics of networking. With the ability to process more traffic on a single system, the TeraScale E-Series simplifies the network and reduces operational costs.
Designed to bring the core-like reliability of the TeraScale E-Series to the server edge, the Force10 S-Series family of data center switches provides IT managers with cost-effective, flexible deployment options. The recently introduced S2410 delivers the high line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet density and Infiniband-like latency at the industry’s lowest port price that enables organizations to cost effectively deploy 10 Gigabit Ethernet throughout their data centers.
Leveraging its experience building high performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks, Force10 expanded its portfolio with the P-Series family of security appliances. As the industry’s first security appliance that can inspect, monitor and block traffic at 10 Gigabit speeds, the P-Series enables Force10 to both build and secure high speed networks.
High performance networks around the world are leveraging Force10’s high performance product portfolio to build and secure their networks. From large data centers to service providers and government organizations, Force10 brings the reliable, predictable and secure performance these networks require.
