Enabling the next generation of network evolution
Bay Networks has launched the Accelar range of Layer 3 switches in South Africa. Bay said the new switches boost performance and ease network migration.
According to Bay channel and marketing manager Francois Bodart, the growing use of peer-to-peer communication has increased the amount of inter-subnet traffic, resulting in the need for both speed via switching and network division by routing.
Bodart says Accelar is a true Layer 3 Switch, combining switching and routing processes at the same speed. Because all the processes are hardware-based, it is easily added to the network backbone in front of a router with no reconfiguration needed, he adds.
