Best-of-Breed Resilient Switching and Routing

Whether increasing high availability and reducing DDoS vulnerability are driving requirements, or overall cost and post installation support, Force10 Networks and Dell can deliver a winning solution. Dell leverages Force10 Networks’ best-of-breed resilient switching and routing, the foundation of any high performance computing cluster (HPCC) or Grid network, data center aggregation fabric or campus backbone.

Force10’s E-Series switch/routers ensure predictable application performance, increase network availability, and reduce operating costs. The unique E-Series Etherscale™ architecture leverages a separate control and data plane, while distributing routing, switching and system management between three independent CPUs to ensure predictable performance even under tremendous traffic loads and intensive processing tasks. Throughput and line-rate performance are guaranteed, even with features like security filters (Access Control Lists) and Quality of Service (QoS) enabled.
