Huawei-3Com (H3C), a leading IP networking solutions provider worldwide,
announced the availability of 10GE switches, a cost-effective and high
performance solution for service providers and different enterprises to meet
increased demand for high bandwidth, unprecedented growth in network,
applications and users, as well as the rush for quality in multi services, speed
and availability.
Responding to the industry need for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) network, H3C has
devised one of the only end-to-end 10GE solutions on the market with the
benefits of a 10GE network platform to customers of all sizes and in all
industries.
Eric Zhao, MD, H3C (India) said, “In the four years since its ratification
by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers as the 802.3ae
standard, 10GE has become more and more popular, and is now seen as a
cost-effective and high performance solution for service providers and large
enterprises that support abundant converged services.”
Today, 10GE is the highest standard for bandwidth speed in enterprise
networks. It has been introduced to solve the problem of an increase in network
traffic, caused by the deployment of applications and services over converged
networks like VoIP, video conferencing, wireless LAN and office automation
software.
The arrival of 10GE is seen as the answer by many Network Administrators as
it is built on cutting-edge technology. They need solutions that could increase
speed and improve traffic management without incurring exorbitant costs.
H3C's S9500, S7500, S5600, S5100 switches support 10GE and are designed
with the networks of the future in mind. It offers total coverage for the core,
edge and access layers to meet the increasing demand for high-speed data, voice
and VoIP. It represents best-of-breed performance and service features that will
meet network requirements in the years ahead.
“Through 10GE we offer carrier-class reliability and strong security built
on a hi-density, large capacity, and modularized design. With the
cost-effectiveness and hi-performance of Huawei-3Com switches, enterprises of
all sizes and in all industries can realize a high return on their network
investment,” Mr. Eric Zhao said.
10GE network has improved the network performance and business efficiency of
Hong Kong Centro Digital Pictures, Asia's leading animation and visual effects
studio, and Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) of Hong Kong
and several others.
“For the foreseeable future, 10GE is likely to remain at the cutting edge
of technology and will become more and more commonplace in networks of all sizes
and requirements. Although tentative plans are in place to develop 40GE, the
need for 40GE presently is not great, whereas 10GE has emerged to solve an
immediate and persistent problem. The fact that 10GE presently meets and
surpasses the requirements of almost all networks, means that it will continue
to grow in popularity and is likely to remain the standard network technology
for years to come,” Eric Zhoa, Concluded. Page(s) 1
