7G4205-72 Overview

-Multiple deployment scenarios for edge, distribution, core and data center.
-Distributed fault-tolerant architecture assures network reliability and
business continuity.
-Industry leading ROI proven over more than 10 years.
-Secure Networks™ architecture embeds security into the infrastructure.
-Flow based architecture optimized for iSCSI and Server Virtualization.
-High-density, 10/100, 10/100/1000, 10-Gigabit Ethernet and Power-over-Ethernet Modules utilize a total switching capacity of 1.68 Terabits per second.

The Matrix® N-Series Platinum Distributed Forwarding Engines (DFEs) support the full range of Secure Networks features, but are primarily designed for deployment in network edge and distribution roles, with support for up to 1000 downstream users/devices on a single port (2000 per chassis) with full distributed fault-tolerance capabilities. The advanced routing license and per-port policy capacity license can be purchased to provide similar multi-user authentication and routing scalability as the Diamond DFEs. Platinum DFEs provide a broad range of Ethernet connectivity ranging from 10/100 to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, including support for Power over Ethernet.

Unlike competing solutions, the Matrix N implements a granular flow-based architecture to intelligently manage individual user and applications—not just ports and VLANs. Policy rules combined with deep packet inspection can intelligently sense and automatically respond to security threats while improving reliability and quality of service.

The Matrix N features a distributed fault-tolerant architecture with scalable capacity that does not rely on centralized processors or fabric modules. Each DFE is an integrated switching, routing and management module that makes forwarding decisions, enforces security policies and classifies incoming traffic. This distributed architecture has proven itself in some of the largest and most complex networks in the world.

Platinum DFEs are interchangeable in any Matrix N-Series chassis, delivering leading performance, reliability, and security for today’s enterprise network. These modules intelligently integrate switching, routing and management functions to deliver visibility and control without sacrificing performance or QoS.
