Ethernet Aggregation Switch Network
Scalable cloud, Web 2.0, and enterprise data centers
require large aggregation Ethernet switch network
• Connecting racks for 10GbE based servers and storage
Legacy solutions utilize large modular switches
• Expensive (both CAPEX and OPEX)
• Rapid obsolescence
• Market share of modular switches is on the decline
Users prefer to use of Top-of-Rack switches to form
Virtual Modular Switch solutions
• A more cost-effective and flexible solution
• Allows over-subscription to be handled on a rack basis “Data Center Ethernet Fixed/Top-of-Rack switches
continue to reach record levels, as this form-factor
not only sees increasing server access deployment,
but also data center aggregation deployments.”
