IBEx G410e
Overview
The Intelligent Bandwidth Exchange (IBEx™) G410e platform utilizes Bay Microsystems’ proprietary packet and transport processing technology to provide seamless Ethernet Data Center Bridging (DCB) fabric extension functionality through wide area network adaptation and tunneling capabilities over a variety of protocols. The IBEx supports and interoperates with virtually any network topology thereby enabling unencumbered, line-rate Ethernet extension over a diverse array of high-performance wide area network protocols and deployment scenarios.
The IBEx G410e platform provides interface support for up to four 10G Ethernet links delivering low-cost client-side Ethernet DCB network adaptation to over a variety of 40G wide area network infrastructures all within a low power (<150 watts), compact 1U form-factor platform. This allows the IBEx to provide network consolidation for multiple 10G network services to just a single 40G service thus reducing infrastructure-operating costs and enabling IT managers to maintain protocol continuity beyond a single site to virtually anywhere around the globe without the need to modify existing applications.
The IBEx G410e platform includes support for a broad spectrum of network interfaces, which allows interworking of most high-speed networking protocols, including 1/10G Ethernet, SONET OC-768/SDH STM-256, ITU-T G.709/G.975.1-I.4 OTU3, or dark fiber. All this can be done utilizing IBEx’s ultra-low latency architecture with an unprecedented port-to-port latency for most applications.
