Force10 C-Series Switches
The Force10 Networks C-Series are resilient
chassis-based switches that deliver reliability, network control
and scalability. The C-Series is designed to support mission
critical applications with very low latency across converged
networks. Comprehensive management capabilities make the
C-Series a cost-effective and flexible deployment option. These
switches are suitable for every application from data center
access, to the LAN core, to the wiring closet edge.
Key Applications
Low cost 100/1000 Mbps server
aggregation for small- to medium-sized data centers (100s to
1,000s of servers)
- Cost-effective LAN core switch for small- and medium-campuses (100s to 1,000s of PCs)
- Scalable GbE aggregation and 10 Gigabit Ethernet transport in a carrier’s Middle Mile network to
enable the deployment of triple play services
- High density GbE aggregation into a multiple Gbps or 10 GbE backbone
- Cost-effective PoE-enabled 10/100/1000Base-T wiring closet aggregation of VoIP phones, wireless access points, video cameras or other IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices
PTS’ technical staff will work with the client
to develop a specification and confirm the best series of
options associated with the C-Series switch. There are two
configurations to consider: the C150 and the C300.
C150
- 4 line card slots
- 2 Route processor module with
integrated switch fabric slots
- 6 Power supply module slots and 1
fan tray slot
- Size: 9 RU, 15.7 h x 17.5 w x
15.3" d (39.88 h x 44.45 w x 38.86 cm d)
C300
- 8 line card slots
- 2 Route processor module with
integrated switch fabric slots
- 8 Power supply module slots and 1
fan tray slot
- Size: 13 RU, 22.7 h x 17.4 w x
14.4" d (57.66 h x 44.2 w x 37.58 cm d)
PTS’ technical design and deployment approach
includes a consultative assessment, plan, and design approach to
confirm the right product for purchase and deployment within the
data center or computer room. Our approach follows an eleven
step process:
