Today’s large enterprises demand ready access to online
resources and applications. These needs require a high
performing network, one that can seamlessly carry multiple
converged services.
Two SwitchBlade x8112 chassis with dual CFC960 control cards
combine to form a single virtual unit with VCStack Plus. This
provides a powerful network core, with complete resiliency, and
the simplicity of managing just one device.
Link aggregation across the two chassis to servers, network
storage, and distribution switches leaves no single point of
failure in this high performing network core, ensuring device and
path resiliency. Each individual chassis has PSU redundancy to
ensure maximum uptime. Hot-swappable PSUs, fan tray, control
and line cards allow for system maintenance and reconfiguration
with no network interruption.
SwitchBlade x8106 chassis with CFC400 control cards are used
to aggragate tracffic from other buildings, increasing network
resilience.
Real-time applications like VoIP and streaming video are
assured premium service on the network, as near hitless
failover between the dual control cards on each SwitchBlade
x8112 means there is no perceptible disruption in the case of a
problem. Even if a whole chassis is powered down, access to
online resources is retained without disruption.
With the benefits of high availability, increased capacity and ease
of management, VCStack Plus makes large networks reliable
and simple.
