Allied Telesis SwitchBlade AT SBx908

The Allied Telesis SwitchBlade x908 industry-leading modular switch is the ideal solution for the modern enterprise network core where resiliency, reliability and performance are the key requirements.VCStack provides excellent resiliency by allowing you to create a single "virtual chassis" from two physical devices. If one stacked device fails, traffic routes seamlessly to the other, preventing network disruption. VCStack delivers a resilient core at a fraction of the cost of a full chassis-based system, and it allows you to manage the stack as a single node on the network, greatly simplifying your management tasks.The SwitchBlade x908 was designed with reliability in mind. With dual power supplies, fan modules and a comprehensive range of expansion modules (XEMs), which are all hot-swappable, you can maintain and reconfigure when necessary without affecting network uptime. You can also expand your network core as required without replacing any hardware - simply add more XEMs from the range: 10/100/1000Mbps in copper and fiber, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) fiber.High performance makes the SwitchBlade x908 an ideal core or aggregation device. Enjoy low latency and wirespeed L3 routing in a compact 3 rack unit device, combined with a 640Gbps switching fabric. VCStack uses high-speed stacking links to deliver 160Gbps of backplane capacity.
