Scalability and Reliability

The Stackable Smart Switch with 10G uplinks series is a scalable solution that grows with a business. Starting with a single switch, the stack can grow to six switches with a mix of 24 and 48 port stack members and a total of up to 300 network ports. Two out of the four 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports on each switch can be used to create the stack, a single logical unit with up to 40 Gbps of stacking backplane that can be configured and managed as one switch – speeding up deployment while simplifying administration and maintenance. The stacked switches can be spread across multiple physical locations, by taking advantage of SFP+ fiber-optic connectivity, making the series of switches an ideal solution for remote and branch offices. All four 10GE ports can be used for network uplinks to servers and storage devices, or split with two ports for local or distant stacking and two ports for uplinks and link aggregation. Auto failover creates a safety net so that if one switch in the stack fails, all the other switches will be intact.
