The IntraCore Product Family
The Asanté IntraCore architecture is the basis for a family of switching system
products in fixed, stackable and chassis form factors that allow customers to
integrate telephony, video and data applications. Initially two systems will be
offered that provide high performance, high port count Layer 2 switching.
Additional configurations will be introduced to offer advanced Layer 3 and
above routing, traffic classification, advanced QoS, higher bandwidth and port
capacity. All systems will be consistent in their operation and management
allowing customers to seamlessly deploy any model in their network.
Edge Switches
Providing the first point of connectivity to the network are the Edge Switches.
These connect to an Enterprise switch in the network core and provide
aggregation of traffic from desktop computers over high capacity trunks. The
initial product introduced in the Edge Switch category is the IntraStack 8000.
The IntraStack 8000 is a stackable, high performance solution for enterprise
edge applications. Each stack supports up to 192 10/100Mbps switched
Ethernet connections for cost-effective high-density connectivity in wiring
closets. The system can operate as a stand-alone network or be used in
combination with IntraChassis 9000 in the backbone.
Enterprise Switches
In the network core, Enterprise Switches are deployed to aggregate traffic from
wiring closets and provide high-speed connectivity to network servers. Typically
these switches are modular in form factor, and can be easily upgraded or
reconfigured. This flexibility provides for customized configurations to meet a
wide variety of requirements. The initial product introduced in this category is
the IntraChassis 9000.
The IntraChassis 9000
The IntraChassis 9000 is a chassis based modular Gigabit Ethernet enterprise
switch designed for either high density wiring closets or as the core of the
network backbone. The system can support up to 192 10/100Mbps switched
Ethernet or 16 switched Gigabit Ethernet connections. System modules offer
choice in media and connector types to best suit existing wiring infrastructure
systems.
