YouSendIt Builds Resilient, High Performance Network With Force10 Networks to Process More Than 30 Terabytes of Data a Day
Posted on: Tuesday, 12 December 2006, 09:00 CST
Force10 Networks®, the pioneer in building and securing high performance networks, today announced that YouSendIt, the leader in file delivery, has deployed the S-Series family of data center switches to transfer more than 30 Terabytes of data per day. The Force10 S50 delivers the core-like resiliency and density YouSendIt needs to enable more than nine million users per month to transfer files up to two Gigabytes.
"Our mission is to simplify the process of sending large files such as digital video or complex graphic documents, and we need a network that can support our rapidly growing subscriber base and the massive traffic this creates on our network," said Ranjith Kumaran, founder of YouSendIt. "With the Force10 S50 in our network, we are able to continue scaling our business to serve more subscribers while ensuring the integrity of our network and service."
With over three million registered users across 220 countries, YouSendIt has already transferred more than 400 million files that can be as large as two Gigabytes. To support this rapid growth in subscribers and large files, YouSendIt deployed the Force10 S50 in the core of its network. Leveraging the resilient stacking capabilities of the S50, YouSendIt has built a scalable, high density network that enables its users to easily transfer files while avoiding the size limitations of email systems.
YouSendIt has deployed the Force10 S50 switches to interconnect the 225 servers that users upload their files onto for others to retrieve. The S50s provide the resilient, high capacity YouSendIt requires to process more than 30 Terabytes of data a day and ensure the availability of its service.
"The Web 2.0 world has fundamentally altered how people interact over the Internet with applications such as the file sharing service YouSendIt provides, creating strong demand for reliable, high performance networks," said Mark Cooper, senior vice president of worldwide sales at Force10 Networks. "The Force10 S50 is uniquely designed to bring the density and resiliency these networks require to support a service that encourages users to take a more active role in the Internet."
The Force10 S50 fixed configuration switch supports 48 10/100/1000 ports with two 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks to simplify networks that are transitioning from Gigabit to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. To bring core-like resiliency to the edge of the network, the S50 employs unique stacking technology that can connect eight switches in a single virtual switch. Technologies such as auto failover stacking and stacked link aggregation ensure that, in the event of a single switch failure, the other switches in the stack continue to operate with zero packet loss.
