S-Series Access Switches: Delivering Core Resiliency to the Network Edge The Force10 S-Series is a family of resilient, small form factor Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches designed to exceed requirements for enterprises and service providers alike. S-Series switches complement the resiliency and density of the Force10 E-Series, providing a scalable, high performance end-to-end network solution

 Key Enterprise Applications

• Line-rate GbE and 10 GbE rack switches for the most demanding data center, storage or compute facility
• PoE for wiring closets that require core resiliency and high availability for VoIP and wireless connectivity

 Key Service Provider Applications

• Layer 2 small form factor POP interconnect leveraging 10 GbE for cost-effective metro or intra-POP transport
• Scalable multi tenant unit (MTU) core or distribution switch

C-Series Access Switches: The Force10 Networks C-Series are resilient chassis-based switches that deliver reliability, network control and scalability. The C-Series is designed to support mission critical applications with very low latency across converged networks. Comprehensive management capabilities make the C-Series a cost-effective and flexible deployment option

 Key Enterprise Applications

              - Low cost 100/1000 Mbps server aggregation for small- to medium-sized data centers

                (100s to 1,000s of servers)

              - Cost-effective LAN core switch for small- and medium-campuses (100s to 1,000s of PCs)

              - High density GbE aggregation for distribution into a multiple Gbps or 10 GbE backbone

              - Cost-effective PoE-enabled 10/100/1000Base-T wiring closet aggregation of VoIP phones, wireless

                 access points, video cameras or other IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices
