Ethernet switch plastic forces next-gen 10GbE enterprise core switches

Broadcom today announced that Alcatel selected its StrataXGS III Ethernet switch plastic solutions for any new type of core switches, enhanced for next-gen enterprise systems. The StrataXGS III family enables Alcatel's OmniSwitch 9000 family to provide high end, feature wealthy 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) switches for reliable and secure communication of information and voice,Network Security and for video broadcasting services.

"The-leading features which are built-into Broadcom's StrataXGS III switch products, including IPv6 routing and comprehensive security, have enabled us to build up the Alcatel OmniSwitch 9000 with all the performance featuring needed for secure 10GbE converged enterprise systems," stated Tom Burns, V . P . and Gm of Alcatel's Network Infrastructure Business Unit. "We combined Broadcom's switching semiconductors and our very own Alcatel operating-system software to create new performance, security, availability and future-proof standards that support OmniSwitch 9000-based systems and subsequently generation of economic innovation within the enterprise."

"Alcatel has enjoyed success using its edge stacking switches operated by Broadcom's previous generation of Ethernet switch chips, therefore we are content that Alcatel has extended its portfolio to core chassis by adopting our industry-leading StrataXGS III chips," stated Martin Lund, V . P . and Gm of Broadcom's Network Switching Business Unit. "The StrataXGS III family features the earth's greatest performing Ethernet switch chips and then generation abilities for example hardware-based secure authentication, wire-speed IPv6 routing and multicasting. The innovative StrataXGS III architecture offers the best mixture of functionality, time-to-market and style versatility, which further extends our market leadership."

Based on Broadcom, the StrataXGS III 500 Number of Ethernet switch chips is fantastic for standalone, stacking and chassis switch configurations supporting enterprise, company, and grid computing markets. They offer the architectural efficiency, design versatility and carrier class features needed to empower next-gen carrier systems.
