The reliable business network extends the performance characteristics typically found in data centers across the enterprise network to build a unified fabric that delivers the reliability, network control and scalability that ensure optimum flexibility.

“As applications have become more diverse and sophisticated, the way the network supports them has changed,” said Sachi Sambandan, vice president of engineering at Force10 Networks.  “Like the rest of Force10’s product portfolio, the C-Series is designed to provide enterprises with the performance characteristics to build a network that can support their business goals.”

Traffic patterns have shifted as the result of new applications such as software as a service and collaboration tools like blogs and wikis.  Now traffic moves both between end users as well as from the end user to the data center.  As a result, there is a need for consistent performance characteristics not only in the data center but also in the wiring closet.

By creating a unified network fabric from the data center to the wiring closet, enterprises can build into their networks the flexibility to respond to changing business requirements and the long-term investment protection to ensure their network continues to return value. 

To support the reliable business network framework, Force10 introduced the C300 resilient switch that delivers the reliability, network control and scalability IT managers require to ensure their network is a strategic asset. 

With full line-rate, non-blocking throughput across the backplane, the Force10 C300 can support new applications and features without impacting performance.  Additionally, the C300 delivers full performance regardless of traffic conditions.  And with full 15.4W Class 3 PoE support, the C300 can deliver full power to all 384 Gigabit Ethernet ports simultaneously.
