The emergence of the QSFP form factor has brought economies of scale to 100G upgrades, putting 100G within the cost reach of both small and hyper-scale data center operators. With a small profile and reduced power consumption, the QSFP form factor is the choice of switch manufacturers for 100G platforms. Despite the economies of scale at the switch level, the urgency to upgrade can inevitably lead to unforeseen compatibility and budget issues.
ADTRAN’s new SM200 100G Switch Module adds 100-Gbps transport wavelength capabilities to the Total Access 5000 and boosts the TA5000’s uplink capacity to 560 Gbps and switching capacity to 1.2 Tbps. A TA5000 now can scale to support more than 20,000 customers per system, the company adds.
Antaira Technologies’ 20-port Gb/s managed switches support edge-level networking applications in harsh and outdoor environments, such as manufacturing automation, security/surveillance, power/utility, water wastewater treatment plants, oil/gas/mining, and transportation.The new devices support high-density Ethernet port connectivity, wide bandwidth, long distance data transmission, and have a superb reliability factor.
