Force10 Networks Awarded Patent for Innovations in Reliable Switching and Routing.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Force10 Networks([R]), the pioneer in building and securing reliable networks, today announced that it has been awarded a patent for its advances in delivering reliable system-level performance and throughput. The Force10 TeraScale E-Series([R]) family of switch/routers leverages this innovation in engineering to deliver reliable networking performance regardless of traffic conditions. "While supporting hundreds of ports provides key advantages for customers, they are nullified nul·li·fy tr.v. nul·li·fied, nul·li·fy·ing, nul·li·fies 1. To make null; invalidate. 2. To counteract the force or effectiveness of. if the system cannot effectively process the traffic and distribute it efficiently," said Joel Goergen, chief scientist and vice president of technology at Force10 Networks. "The innovation behind this patent is fundamental to the ability of the TeraScale E-Series to deliver consistent, predictable performance whether 10 ports are connected or 1,260 are connected." The advanced algorithms protected by the patent enable a single processor to control all packet distribution across equal cost paths and aggregated links. With a single processor controlling packet distribution, the system can more efficiently process traffic to deliver predictable performance. Force10 holds 15 U.S. patents and five international patents that protect the advanced design and engineering features of the TeraScale E-Series. In addition to switching and routing innovations, these patents also protect the manufacturing and design advances of the TeraScale E-Series backplane An interconnecting device that has sockets for printed circuit boards to plug into. Passive and Active Although resistors may be used, a "passive" backplane adds no processing in the circuit. . Tested to support up to 40 100 Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. ports, the backplane is unique in that it is both copper and passive, eliminating it as a point of failure in the system to further ensure reliable performance. The Force10 TeraScale E-Series family of switch/routers is designed for performance parity parity or space parity, in physics, quantity that refers to the relationship between an object or process and the image that it can produce in a mirror. . Regardless of traffic conditions or active features, the TeraScale E-Series delivers predictable performance across 1,260 Gigabit and 224 Ten Gigabit Ethernet ports. About Force10 Networks Force10 Networks is the pioneer in building and securing reliable networks. Based on a revolutionary system architecture that delivers best-in-class resiliency The ability to recover from a failure. The term may be applied to hardware, software or data. and massive scalability, Force10's TeraScale E-Series switch/routers ensure predictable application performance, increase network availability, and reduce operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales .
