ANDOVER, MA-- September 29, 2005--Enterasys Networks (NYSE: ETS), the Secure Networks CompanyTM, today announced that a comprehensive new enterprise switching product assessment by Current Analysis focuses on the Enterasys Matrix N-Series family of modular switches. The report states that, "with its superior density, very high performance, and support for the latest standards and technologies, the N-Series should be considered a serious threat to competitors."
Following the recent introduction of the newest addition to the N-Series—the N1 single-slot chassis—the report highlights the performance, flexibility and advanced security capabilities of the product line. Key findings by Current Analysis include:
- “The N-Series chassis delivers next-generation performance with 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink capabilities that put it a notch above almost every competitor in this product class.”
- “The N-Series delivers a very high-performance, distributed architecture that ensures no single point of failure. It does this without requiring the deployment of redundant supervisor modules or other specialized hardware.“
- “The N-Series supports advanced rate shaping, packet classification, and remarking in hardware, enabling customers to tactically respond to network congestion and security threats at the local switch port, slowing down or stopping the spread of debilitating traffic before it overwhelms the network.”
