The OptiSwitch-Z4000 product is a modular Layer 2/3/4
Switch, optimized for scalability, reliability, and performance. The OS-Z4000
is the wiring closet form factor of OptiSwitch-Z featuring 4 blade slots,
64Gbps of switching capacity, and 44Mpps throughput.
Each blade is a
complete switch/router with up to four I/O Modules, such as Gigabit Ethernet,
10/100 Ethernet, PoS, control module, frame processor and more. The management
module does not require an extra slot, just one-fourth of a slot, a key to the
low system entry cost.
The OptiSwitch-Z highly configurable flow based
policing with rate limiting capabilities provides the power to create an
optimized network. Flow priority can be defined by TCP/UDP quintet (source
address, destination address, IP protocol, source port, destination port), as
well as additional parameters such as inbound port and TCP flags, enabling
effective implementation of Service Level Agreements.
