Follow UsSAN JOSE, USA: Brocade announced the launch of Brocade NetIron CER 2000 series compact multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) router, featuring a compact 1U form factor: 24 or 48 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports with two 10 GbE uplinks.
The NetIron CER 2000 enables service providers to offer wire-speed carrier Ethernet services — such as E-LINE, E-LAN, and E-TREE services — with its multicast and quality of service (QoS) capabilities to support triple-play applications.

It features scalable MPLS with VLL, VPLS, VPLS-PBB, and advanced resiliency at multiple layers using MPLS fast reroute, hot-standby LSPs, and fault detection and recovery with Brocade Metro Ring Protocol (MRP)/MRP2).
The platform is optimal for use as a Carrier Ethernet/Metro edge router, an MPLS Provider Edge (PE) router, or as a high-capacity border router for small data centers and enterprise branch offices with Ethernet connectivity. Additionally, the NetIron CER 2000 features a highly scalable BGP implementation for compact route-reflector applications to help reduce complexity and cost for service providers.
With MEF 9, 14, and 21 certification, NEBS Level 3 certification; hot-swappable, redundant, load sharing AC/DC power supplies; a N+1 redundant, replaceable cooling system; and front-to-back airflow, the NetIron CER 2000 extends the Brocade NetIron router family and further demonstrates carrier-class availability.

Marc Randall, senior vice president of products and solutions, Brocade, said: “Bandwidth needs, applications, and user numbers are increasing, while provider budgets are flattening or declining. A high-density, MPLS-enabled compact router, such as the Brocade NetIron CER 2000, is an often-requested addition to our product line that meets a clear market need.”
The NetIron CER 2000 will be available first quarter CY 2010 in six models, including fiber and copper configurations at a base price of $12,495.
