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.
