The family of IBM Ethernet routers and switches provides an integrated end-to-end resiliency and security framework. IT is better positioned to expand the range of services and extend them from the data center to the network edge without compromise.
Smarter networks run on Ethernet routers and switches rugged enough to excel day-in, day-out, yet savvy enough to provide the converged services and mission critical applications businesses demand. IBM Ethernet routers and switches protect, optimize and grow the enterprise from basic connectivity to higher levels of intelligent service-based infrastructures. As part of a dynamic infrastructure, you can extend the range of services offered further into the edge of the network, supporting advanced data, voice and video applications.
IBM m-series MPLS-enabled metro switching routers provide the right mix of functionality and high performance.
IBM r-series modular switches provide the highest port densities in a compact design, suitable for a highly scalable and resilient network aggregation/distribution.
IBM s-series provides a cost-efficient, feature-rich, modular solution for the network edge and distribution with PoE options available.
IBM Converged Switch B32 features 10 Gbps CEE and 8 Gbps FC in a compact 1 RU form-factor, enabling next-generation server SAN and LAN consolidation.
The x-series is a compact 1 RU 10 GbE top-of-rack switch with dual-speed ports, cut-through routing, extremely low latencies, and wire-speed performance.
The IBM y-series is an intelligent 1 RU 1 GbE top-of-rack switch with purpose-built data center models and campus PoE+ models available.
The IBM c-series Ethernet switches provide Carrier Grade Ethernet in a compact form factor.
