Leading Japanese Internet Exchange Selects Force10 Networks to Provide Reliable 10 GbE Performance to Its Customers
SAN JOSE, Calif.-(Business Wire)-September 29, 2009 - Force10 Networks, Inc., the global technology leader that data center, service provider and enterprise customers rely on when the network is their business, today announced that Japan Internet Exchange Co. Ltd. (JPIX) has selected the ExaScale™ E-Series family of switch/routers to provide high-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) services and industry-leading port density for its growing network. The chassis-based ExaScale E1200 switch/routers serve as a scalable and reliable core capable of handling the ever-increasing amount of traffic created by its enterprise business and service provider customers.
“Because of the traffic growth, our hardware infrastructure deployment decisions cannot be made simply on the needs we face today,” said Takejiro Takabayashi, senior engineer, JPIX. “The Force10 ExaScale solution provides us with tremendous port density that protects our investment, coupled with non-blocking line-rate Gigabit and 10 GbE performance that answers our bandwidth requirements today and is already configured to accommodate the 40 GbE and 100 GbE speeds that our customers will eventually demand going forward.”
Stability and High Performance Required for Japan’s Busiest Internet Exchange
The ExaScale switch/router provides JPIX with unmatched stability, density and performance by utilizing third-generation Force10 technology that incorporates patent-protected innovations and design advances to deliver unprecedented, non-blocking line-rate GbE and 10 GbE densities. With support for 140 line-rate 10 GbE SFP+ ports per chassis, the ExaScale E-Series is the only switch/router with 100 Gbps of useable data capacity per slot today. In addition to capacity, the E1200 delivers an industry-leading total throughput of more than two billion packets per second across a switching fabric capacity of 3.5 Tbps or 250 Gbps full duplex per slot.
Agility and Efficiency Designed for Demanding Core Networks
Deploying the ExaScale platform, which includes the modular Force10 operating system (FTOS), enables Internet exchanges, such as JPIX, to design and build more efficient and agile network cores that use less power and cooling while providing the necessary reliability for its customers.
“JPIX shares our vision of the Terabit-enabled core that is highly reliable, efficient in its operations and agile in its ability to scale and respond to changing conditions,” said Steve Garrison, vice president of marketing at Force10. “By deploying ExaScale with its modular FTOS, JPIX is able to reap the benefits of scalability and performance predictability that have been hardened in some of the world’s most demanding networks.”
