With support for up to 100+ 10-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports and full flexibility in configuring 10GbE/40GbE ports, the StrataXGS Trident II switch series can be used to build highly scalable, feature-rich, blade switch, top-of-rack (ToR) switches and aggregation equipment to enable cloud-scale networking.
As server interfaces transition to higher Ethernet speeds and as virtualization continues to increase link utilization, data center networks are demanding switches with dense 10GbE and 40GbE connectivity at the access and aggregation layers.
In addition, fabrics of BCM56750 with BCM56855A2IFSBG devices can be interconnected via the HiGig2 protocol to support multiterabit chassis designs for large-scale data center, enterprise and service provider applications. The StrataXGS Trident II switch with integrated SmartSwitch has been designed to address performance, capacity and service requirements for next-generation data centers, cloud computing applications, enterprise campus backbone equipment and high-density fabrics for access and mobile core networks.
