The Force10 Networks ExaScale platforms are virtualized chassis-based switches that enable a new way of designing switching and routing infrastructures. ExaScale’s architecture, and patented backplane and ASIC technology are designed to increase network availability, agility and efficiency while reducing power and cooling costs. ExaScale supports mission critical applications across converged fabrics in data center, telecommunication provider, service provider, enterprise and HPCC networks.

Force10’s ExaScale platform coupled with FTOS make a cost-effective and flexible deployment option complete with comprehensive management, automation and resource provisioning capabilities.

Force10’s Virtualized Network Fabric Framework

• VirtualView™, a suite of monitoring and provisioning features, optimizes the performance of virtualized and distributed networks
• VirtualScale™ reduces TCO by consolidating the physical network and virtualizing boundaries
• VirtualControl™ manages, controls and secures multiple switching and routing domains on one physical platform

Key Applications

• Virtualized data center and cloud computing networks with multiple switching or routing domains in local or geographically disparate environments
• High capacity 10 GbE and 1 GbE switching/routing in high performance Layer 2, IP and MPLS core or aggregation networks
• HPCC networks with nonblocking and deterministic N:N and N:1 management and storage I/O requirements
