As seen in Network World: The 3Com Switch 7906E—a Fast, Green Alternative to Cisco

New core switch tests show high unicast scalability, low power use

The 3Com Switch 7906E...

›"… delivers excellent performance while drawing remarkably low power. 3Com, long absent from the high-end enterprise networking market in North America, is back with a credible enterprise switch"

›"… its strong performance and low power consumption make it a viable option for large and midsized organizations in the market for core and aggregation switches."

›"Average and maximum latency – key metrics for real-time applications involving voice and video – were also remarkably low and consistent. … around half the number we measured with Cisco's Catalyst 6509 (10GE) …"

›"To get a sense of the scale of the (OSPF) numbers … the 288 concurrent OSPF sessions represent the largest scale Network World has attempted

in any test published"

›"… there is anecdotal evidence that competing switches consume 3,000 watts or more in similar configurations."

3Com SecBlade Advanced VPN Firewall Module

The SecBlade Advanced VPN Firewall for the 3Com Switch 8800 and Switch 7900E modular LAN platforms delivers advanced threat protection

for the network core—helping prevent business disruptions, revenue loss and damage to an organization’s reputation caused by security breaches.

Built on the latest state-of-the-art multi-core CPU platform, this firewall module enables advanced network protection at multi-Gigabit speeds. It combines built-in protection against denial of service and hacking attacks with virtual private network (VPN) support, zonal and virtual stateful packet inspection firewall, application bandwidth management, audio/video IP multicast routing, peer-to-peer traffic control and email attachment filtering. With these advanced security capabilities built on top of the same operating system that powers all 3Com enterprise switching and routing platforms, a rich networking feature set with ease of integration and lowest total cost of ownership is assured.

This advanced security module helps safeguard the network from attacks and misuse, while delivering policy-based multisite connectivity for real-time business-critical applications such as VoIP, video and collaboration tools. High-availability features help ensure wire-speed traffic flow even in the event of network or internal device error or loss of power to the primary device.

4800G, 4500G specifications

The 3Com 4500G and 4800G series of switches are designed to meet the demands of modern networks, offering advanced features and robust performance. These switches are ideal for enterprises looking to enhance network connectivity and efficiency, while also ensuring scalability and reliability.

One of the standout features of the 3Com 4500G series is its Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. With a 10/100/1000 Mbps speed, these switches support a diverse range of devices and applications, making them suitable for a variety of network environments. This series is particularly adept at handling high-bandwidth applications, ensuring smooth data transfers and minimal latency.

The 4800G series takes performance a step further, boasting enhanced switching capacity and support for higher port densities. This enables organizations to expand their networks without sacrificing speed or reliability. The 4800G models also include advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, allowing for complex routing and traffic management that optimizes data flow across the network.

Both the 4500G and 4800G series are equipped with robust security features. With support for IEEE 802.1X authentication and access control lists (ACLs), these switches help safeguard sensitive data and ensure that only authorized users have access to the network. This is particularly crucial for enterprises that handle confidential information or are subject to regulatory compliance.

A significant characteristic of the 3Com 4500G and 4800G series is their support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This capability allows for the powering of connected devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras directly through Ethernet cabling. This not only simplifies installation but also reduces the need for additional power outlets, enhancing overall network deployment flexibility.

Moreover, both series come with a user-friendly management interface, allowing network administrators to configure and monitor the switches easily. With support for SNMP and a web-based interface, administrators can keep track of network performance and troubleshoot issues efficiently.

In summary, the 3Com 4500G and 4800G series switches offer a comprehensive solution for enterprises looking to build reliable, secure, and high-performance networks. With their advanced features, scalability options, and robust security measures, these switches are well-equipped to support the growing demands of today's digital landscape. Whether for small offices or larger enterprise setups, the 3Com 4500G and 4800G series provide the essential tools needed to enhance any network infrastructure.
