Switches & Bridges

Network traffic has grown exponentially over the last several years, and this trend is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. By 2018, there will be 20+ billion networked devices, up from 10 billion in 2011. Business IP traffic is expected to reach 13.1 exabytes per month in 2016. Networks must be capable of scaling well beyond the needs of today to deal with the traffic of tomorrow while at the same time providing investment protection.

Rich Services with Fixed 2-Rack-Unit Backbone Switch

Get up to 40 ports of multi-rate speeds with additional flexibility to support a wide range of optics and interfaces. 6840-X switches are the newest addition to the Catalyst 6800 family, with the same rich feature set. These switches address high-bandwidth requirements in campus networks with high-density 10-Gigabit ports along with 40-Gigabit native uplinks.
