New 16 port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module for the Catalyst 6500 series

Cisco Continues to Enhance the Flagship Catalyst 6500 Series: 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module and Catalyst 6509-V-E Chassis

To address the evolution from Gigabit Ethernet to 10 Gigabit Ethernet for data center access, Cisco now offers a data-center-optimized 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module that provides up to 130 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet per Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch and 260 ports per Catalyst 6500 Virtual Switching System.

This new module increases the architectural scalability of the Catalyst 6500 which can help reduce power consumption by up to 50 percent per port. The new module doubles the 10-Gigabit Ethernet port density of the Catalyst 6500 and will help enable high-performance campus local area network (LAN) aggregation, so customers can scale bandwidth for video, mobility and other collaboration applications.

"With the rapid growth of real-time communication and collaboration applications, our customers are seeking a solution that both protects their existing infrastructure investment and provides them with the flexibility to quickly shift to a 10 Gigabit Ethernet network when their business requirements demand,"

"The new 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module is an ideal fit for our customers as in addition to providing double the port density on the Catalyst 6500, it also helps reduce power consumption which is increasingly more top of mind with companies globally."

At ProNet Expert, we have a pool of senior Cisco CCIE Consultants with 10 years + experience around Cisco Data Center Design and Catalyst 6500 Support.
