Product Description:
Designed for growth, the ASX-1000 and ASX-1200 are
world-class ATM backbone switches that support in-service
expansion of port and switching capacity. The ASX family
switch architecture is based on Marconi's award-winning,
output-buffered, distributed shared memory switching
technology. This design enables these switches to support
the performance and throughput demands of the most demanding
networking environments.
The ASX-1000 and ASX-1200 are intelligently partitioned
which means virtually all components - power supplies,
network modules, fan trays, switch control processors (SCPs)
and switch fabrics - can be removed and inserted, or
"hot-swapped, " while the unit is in operation. This
minimizes downtime during switch maintenance and network
expansions, and allows users to upgrade individual "like"
components as opposed to the whole system. The ASX-1000 and
ASX-1200, through their unique distributed switching fabric
architecture, offer additional redundancy. Each 2.5 Gbps
switching fabric houses a separate SCP. In the event of a
SCP or switch fabric failure, the remainder of the switch is
unaffected, and continues to operate. Redundant SCPs can be
configured on each switch fabric.
