Passive and Active Although resistors may be used, a "passive" backplane adds no processing in the circuit. and up to ten 10GbE Uplinks Allied Telesyn, a global provider of end-to-end Ethernet/IP solutions for businesses of all sizes, this week announced the availability of its new AT-9700 Series of Layer 3 stackable Gigabit switches. Designed for small and medium sized enterprises, this highly scalable switch series features a 40GbE stacking backplane for maximum bandwidth and minimal oversubscription. This greater capacity for growth extends the life of the network exponentially, resulting in more power and a dramatically lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO (1) (Total Cost of Ownership) The cost of using a computer. It includes the cost of the hardware, software and upgrades as well as the cost of the inhouse staff and/or consultants that provide training and technical support. See ROI. ) for cash-strapped SMEs, especially when compared with lower bandwidth competitive switches, such as Cisco's 3750G. Available with 24 copper Gigabit ports or in a 48-port version with 2 optional 10GbE uplinks, the AT-9724TS and the AT-9748TS-XP are currently available for order and have a target street price of $2307 and $4896, respectively. With scalable port density that meets changing needs, the 9700 series can be stacked to support up to ten 10Gbps uplinks and up to 382 10/100/1000 ports. The 40Gbps ring architecture easily handles even the most high-bandwidth voice, video and data applications, and the expandability of the stacked design is an invaluable asset to the demanding and fluctuating needs of mid-sized enterprises. Switches can be added incrementally, and therefore more affordably, as businesses grow, which keeps the network efficient longer and reduces overall TCO.

(2) (Subject Matter Expert) An individual who is well-versed in the policies and procedures of a particular department or division. network, and sets a more compelling price advantage." The 9700 series features wirespeed Layer 3 performance and multilayer intelligence for highly customized configuration of network security and Quality of Service. By prioritizing this traffic and using advanced features like dynamic routing The ability for a router to forward data via a different route based on the current conditions of the communications circuits. For example, it can adjust for overloaded traffic or failing lines and is much more flexible than static routing, which uses a fixed forwarding path. , multicasting, rate-limiting and rapid fail-over, SMEs can make the most efficient use of their bandwidth, ensure availability and keep traffic secure. Plus, a 1RU footprint makes them an excellent, high-density option for wiring closets The central distribution or servicing point for cables in a network.
