Force10 Networks, Inc.

Force10 is a leader in the design of data center, metro service edge and access aggregation networks. Our products range from traditional TDM support to line rate Ethernet switches to 10Gbps deep packet inspection. The E-Series ExaScale are virtualized chassis-based Ethernet switches that enable new switching and routing infrastructures for large deployments. ExaScale supports mission critical applications across converged fabrics in data center, enterprise, service provider and HPCC networks. The C-Series chassis-based switches provide low cost 100/1000 Mbps server aggregation for small- to medium-sized data centers. The C-Series is designed to provide inherent reliability, network control, and scalability for high performance mid-sized Ethernet environments. The S-Series product family bring core-like resiliency in a compact form factor to the network edge, enabling cost-effective scalability. The P-series security monitoring inspection appliance provides comprehensive deep packet inspection of line rate 10G IPv4/v6 traffic. Based on Dynamic Parallel Inspection technology, the P-Series simultaneously applies thousands of rules to each packet. The Traverse Multiservice Transport Switch family provides aggregation, switching and transport of Carrier Ethernet and TDM services from a single shelf. With scalability of up to 100 Gbps per system, the Traverse is optimized for deployments in service hubs, central offices, cable headends, co-location facilities and other high capacity sites. The TraverseEdge platforms are ideally suited for access deployments ranging from outside plant cabinets, multi-tenant units (MTUs), and customer premise (CPE) environments. With over 145,000 units deployed, the Adit products supports TDM interfaces and permits migrating to Voice over IP (VoIP) using MGCP and SIP. Selective interfaces on the Adit 600 Converged Services Access Gateway include FXS, FXO, ISDN, POTS, V.35, RS-232, OCU-DP, BRI, 4-wire E&M, ADPCM, VoIP, P-Phone, T1, E1, DS-3, media gateways, and various IP routers to provide mixed analog, TDM and Ethernet cross connect. The Adit 3104 Line Gateway converts FXS lines to SIP, as well as supporting basic VoIP phones and other IP devices, allowing mixed network conversions. The Adit 3500 Trunk Gateway converts PRI lines to SIP providing the benefits of converged access while retaining existing PBX investments. The Adit 3402 Router provides economical Ethernet conversion for TDM. The premier Broadmore product line serves the DoD and Intel markets by converting serial (up to speeds of 274 Mbps), TDM (structured and unstructured T1, E1, DS3 and E3) and cell data (CBI and HSSI) to ATM and MPLS/IP with Gig-E, DS-3, OC-3c and OC-12c fiber network interfaces. It provides various redundancy options (power, processor and network interfaces), timing algorithms, and KG resynch capabilities. It is Common Criteria and FIPS 140-2 validated, includes SecurID and SNMPv3 with AES and 3DES encryption, and is IPv6 "capable". The Axxius and MasterSeries products provide access and aggregation primarily for wireless networks. Legacy equipment such as the Wide Bank and Access Navigator support M13 multiplexing and GR-303 optimization respectively. Froce10 Networks also will provide development quotations for "modified COTS" equipment.
