Overview

IBM Ethernet r-series switches are designed to meet the needs of data centers, large enterprises, high-performance computing (HPC) environments, and Internet exchanges and Internet service providers (IXPs and ISPs) as a highly dense aggregation or distribution switch.

IBM Ethernet r-series switches are well suited for high-performance computing environments. They are designed to offer low latency through the switch with densities of 10/100/1000 Ethernet, fiber Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet in compact size chassis with up to 1,536 ports of Gigabit Ethernet or 512 ports of 10- Gigabit Ethernet in a single chassis. The high-performance architecture offers up to

3.2Terabits per second (Tbps) of data switching. IBM Ethernet r-series switches are available in four chassis models, allow network designers to standardize on a single product family for end-of-row, aggregation, and backbone switching, and are well suited for data center and enterprise deployment.

IBM Ethernet r-series switches come in 4-slot, 8-slot, 16-slot, and 32-slot configurations and are designed to deliver the following capabilities:

Compact chassis design supports high-density single rack configurations - up to 512 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 1,536 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a 32-slot chassis

IPv4 and IPv6 Layer 2 and Layer 3 unicast and multicast support for powerful and flexible network deployment

System redundancy (management module, switch fabric module, and power) across all r-series chassis
