Technical Details for Enterasys Matrix X-Series X16

Enterasys Matrix X-Series X16 ... to support multiple applications and services - including converged voice/video/data - the Matrix X-Series' unique architecture combines groundbreaking Terabit capacities, carrier-class high availability and embedded security features to form the industry's most powerful and secure core router. Ideal for the enterprise backbone or data center, the Matrix X-Series provides a reliable, high-performance switching and routing solution across a wide range of chassis configurations. Its flexible architecture - where throughput and port density are increased with common, interchangeable I/O modules - enables the Matrix X-Series to cost-effectively adapt to changing requirements, ensuring essential business continuity and delivering a higher return on investment.

With a dedicated control plane that operates separately from the switching/routing function, the Matrix X-Series accommodates upgrades and other changes to the network without delays or negatively impacting performance. The dual-plane feature also ensures maximum availability in the event of a security threat; the Matrix X-Series will quickly identify and isolate an attack without disrupting service on other segments.
