Fujitsu Computer Products of America, a supplier of computer products including hard disk drives, peripherals and biometric security services, has launched a new aggregated series of 24-port and 48-port 1Gb/10Gb Ethernet Switches. The introduction of the 24-port XG0224 and 48-port XG0448 reportedly expands the XG family of Fujitsu Ethernet Switches enabling integration of the existing ethernet streams into 10Gb networks.
The company claims that Fujitsu XG Switches offer excellent throughput, low latency, and low failure rates in a compact form factor, creating a suitable environment for enterprise deployment.
The company said the new switches will feature auto sensing 10/100/1000 Base-T with four ports of SFP optics and open slots for 1 or 2 dual port 10GbE uplink cards, depending upon the model. The company claims that the low-power, 1U high form factor allows for easy integration into existing networks and system chassis while also providing an easy upgrade path for customers.
Jim Preasmyer, director of sales and business development, advanced technology group of Fujitsu Computer Products of America, said: Many of our customers, who have come to appreciate the performance and outstanding quality of the Fujitsu 10GbE Switch products, have also inquired about utilising similar Fujitsu solutions in their 1Gb networks. The Fujitsu 24-port and 48-port Switches provide a consolidated product offering that gives customers a low-cost upgrade path to full 10Gb networking combined with the Fujitsu brand name they have come to trust.”
Steven Murphy, president and CEO of RELDATA, said: Fujitsu has built upon its success in the 10GbE market with the addition of the XG0224/XG0448, a product that represents where the storage industry is strategically headed with 1GbE/10GbE technology. Customers can leverage RELDATA and the Fujitsu aligned technologies to cost-effectively maximise speed and performance in their storage environments.
