Posted on: Monday, 4 December 2006, 09:00 CST
Telecommunications equipment maker Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:NWK), a global provider of multi-service network exchange solutions for government and enterprise customers, announced that its NX5010 platform, a next generation, high speed multi-service aggregation and switching platform was released for general availability on November 30. The NX5010 enables customers with geographically dispersed data centers to connect and makes it possible to collapse into a single integrated system the multiple switches currently required to perform SAN to WAN communications.
"We are pleased to have completed development, validation testing and general release of this powerful solution for mission-critical communications. The NX5010 significantly improves our customer's ability to transfer large amounts of data throughout disparate networks on a single switch. Initially targeted at government and financial customers, the NX5010 also addresses our customers' increasing need for secure, high speed, versatile networking," said John Sandschulte, VP of Engineering at NET. "In lab trials, the NX5010 successfully demonstrated its ability to transfer up to 60 terabytes of InfiniBand data over a distance of 4500 km in only 32 hours -- the largest amount of InfiniBand data ever transferred per unit time over a wide area network. No other product available today has the ability to transfer this amount of InfiniBand data over a wide area network."
Jointly developed by NET and Bay Microsystems, the leader in high performance packet processing solutions, the NX5010 is compact and scalable, with the ability to convert 10 gigabits per second to a wide area connection on a very small a foot print (2RU). The NX5010 was tested extensively by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). Following the trials, NRL awarded NET and Bay an initial order for multiple units, which are targeted for use within NRL's test bed for Advanced Network and Advanced Terabit Storage Area Networking trials.
