Duxbury Networking, the sole distributor of Enterasys products in South Africa, has released a family of new S-Series network switches, designed to optimise data, voice and video traffic in traditional enterprise networks and virtualised and cloud computing environments. A key feature of the Enterasys S-Series is its ability to help lower data centre energy costs while delivering Terabit-class switching and routing, says Andy Robb, chief technology officer at Duxbury Networking. “The S-Series delivers efficient and resilient Power over Ethernet [PoE] performance as well as granular visibility and enhanced management automation features that ensure high availability while cutting power consumption,” he says. "Enterasys’ PoE design allows the switch to provision power in small increments and use only enough power to facilitate current convergence-enabled devices further reducing operational costs associated with power and cooling,” he explains. Robb says the acquisition cost of an Enterasys S-Series solution is, on average, 20 percent less than conventional systems and includes many new-generation features such as the automated provisioning of virtual and physical server connectivity – designed to reduce server administration costs - and a fully distributed switching and system management architecture for higher resiliency and ‘always-on’ availability. “In addition there is a self-healing functionality capable of distributing and redistributing switching and routing applications across multiple modules in the event of a module failure, together with multiple, standards-based discovery methods to automatically identify and provision VoIP services backed by intelligent traffic management capable of interfacing with IP phones from all major vendors.” The S-Series switching family, with its 1U, 3-slot, 4-slot, and 8-slot chassis options and flexible I/O module design, also offers more deployment configuration choices. “Users now have the functionality and flexibility required to use this switch as a network edge access device, a distribution layer switch, an enterprise-class core router, or as a data centre virtualisation solution,” adds Robb. |
