Voltaire Announces High Density 10 GbE Switch for Efficient Scaling of Cloud Networks
August 30 2010 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Voltaire Ltd. (NASDAQ: VOLT), a leading provider of scale-out
data center fabrics, today introduced the Voltaire Vantage™ 6048, a
low-latency, high-performance Layer 2/3 top-of-rack switch
optimized for cloud computing.
The switch features 48 ports of 10GbE line rate connectivity in
a space-saving 1U device. It provides non-blocking switching
throughput of 960 Gbps, low latency and the industry’s lowest power
consumption of 6.3 watts/port to deliver superior application
performance as well as data center efficiency. The Vantage 6048
offers more CEE-compliant features than any other switch available
in the industry, including Congestion Notification (IEEE 802.1Qau)
to assure end to end congestion management and isolation between
applications that co-exist in the data center.
The combination of the Voltaire Vantage 8500 Layer 2 core
switches and new Vantage 6048 switches enables customers to build
flat data center fabrics of more than 3,400 10 Gigabit Ethernet
ports with non-blocking, lossless switch fabric capacity of 69.12
Terabits per second. Voltaire Unified Fabric Manager™ (UFM™)
software orchestrates the fabric as a single logical switch,
enforcing fabric-wide service policies, providing real-time fabric
flow level monitoring, and simplifying fabric administration across
many physical and virtual switching elements.
In addition, using UFM software, data centers can orchestrate
virtual machine (VM) connectivity persistency, assuring that the
traffic flow for each VM is shaped, rate limited and policied
throughout the entire fabric. UFM software enables VM connectivity
mobility without any human intervention in the fabric networking
configuration.
“Virtual layer 2 switching is key to the new consolidated data
center network,” said Lucinda Borovick, research vice president,
Datacenter Networks, IDC. “The ability to combine high density at a
compelling price point, coupled with a full set of data center
bridging (DCB) capabilities positions the network for future
requirements while enabling investment protection.”
“Networking for the cloud requires a new class of scalability,
performance and efficiency over a shared fabric with automated
fabric management capabilities,” said Asaf Somekh, vice president
of marketing, Voltaire. “Using the Vantage 6048 switch in
combination with Voltaire UFM software, businesses relying on cloud
architectures can attain a standard-based, modular infrastructure
that can scale linearly from a single server rack to 100s of racks
with the same hardware and software building blocks.”
Voltaire will showcase the Vantage 6048 switch in booth 638 at
VMworld, August 30-September 2, 2010, in San Francisco.
The Voltaire Vantage 6048 will be available in October 2010.
