Internet Exchanges (IX) demand high-performance Layer 2
topologies with high density Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
These cross-roads of the Internet connect high-performance routers
from many Service Providers in peering relationships without
requiring a full mesh of router ports.
The BigIron RX Series excels in this environment. Offering
high density 1-Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet together with
the resiliency features of the chassis make the BigIron RX Series
an extremely cost effective and robust solution.
High-performance computing has entered the mainstream
marketplace with Ethernet switching as the technology of
choice. Ultra-low latency and high-density Ethernet switching
are required for successful deployment.
The BigIron RX Series chassis are ideal for this environment.
They offer low latency through the switch with unparalleled
densities of 10/100/1000 Ethernet, fiber Gigabit Ethernet and
10-Gigabit Ethernet in compact size chassis—up to 1,536 ports
of Gigabit Ethernet or 128 ports of 10-Gigabit Ethernet in a single
chassis. The high-performance architecture offers up to 3.2 Tbps of
data switching capacity to meet the needs of the most demanding
HPC environment. The combination of performance, density
and reliability makes the BigIron RX Series an excellent choice
for Enterprise HPC environments.
