Delivering wire-speed performance, terabit capacity and advanced routing, the Enterasys Matrix™ X-Series extends security to computing clusters and core backbone networks. Available in 4/8/16-slot configurations -- it can scale to fit your exact requirements. Input/Output Module (IOM) blades are interchangeable among any chassis and offer 1Gbps and 10Gbps connections.

With a dedicated control plane that operates separately from the switching/routing data plane, the Matrix X-Series features hitless firmware upgrades and zero packet loss control module failover. The dual-plane feature also ensures maximum availability in the event of a security threat such as a denial-of-service (DoS or DDoS) attack. The Matrix X will quickly identify and isolate an attack without disrupting service on other segments.

The Matrix X-Series adapts to changing requirements cost-effectively to ensure business continuity while delivering a rapid return on investment

Why buy a regular switch when you can buy an Enterasys SecureStack™ for less? The SecureStack™ A2 stackable switch family delivers cost-effective Layer 2 switching with embedded security support for 802.1x authentication and RFC 3580 VLAN quarantine. Advanced QoS capabilities deliver L2/L3/L4 classification, bandwidth flow control and traffic prioritization to support IP telephony (VoIP) and IP Multicast (IPMC) voice/video/data convergence applications. High-availability features include support for closed-loop stacking, redundant power, power over Ethernet (PoE), fault-tolerant management, rapid re-convergence (802.1w RSTP), and link-aggregation (802.3ad). Closed-loop stacking assures that a single switch or cable connection failure in the stack will not impact the overall stack operation.

Up to eight (8) SecureStack A2 switches can be supported in a single stack with one IP address for complete stack management. A single stack supports up to 384 10/100Mbps ports with 16 gigabit uplinks.

Every SecureStack comes with a limited lifetime warranty featuring next-day advance replacement.

Delivering advanced Secure Networks™ capabilities, the Enterasys Matrix™ E1 is the third generation of flow-based switching from Enterasys offering 10/100Mbps and Gigabit workgroup connectivity.

What’s the advantage of flow-based switching? You benefit from granular, firewall-like control of access, authentication, authorization, bandwidth, protocols, applications and users. Visibility is extended beyond the port or the VLAN to the individual conversation.

The Matrix E1 can handle the demanding requirements of bandwidth-intensive, enterprise applications such as videoconferencing, distance learning, ERP, CRM, intranet and Internet connectivity. The Matrix E1 inspects and classifies incoming traffic; makes L2/L3/L4 forwarding decisions; enforces security and QoS policies; discovers attached voice/video/data users, applications and devices; and authenticates them using 802.1x, Web and/or MAC multi-user authentication simultaneously on every interface.

Delivering the most advanced Secure Networks™ capabilities, the Enterasys Matrix™ N Standalone is the fourth generation of flow-based switching from Enterasys offering 10/100/1000Mbps and Gigabit workgroup connectivity.

What’s the advantage of flow-based switching? You benefit from granular, firewall-like control of access, authentication, authorization, bandwidth, protocols, applications and users. Visibility is extended beyond the port or the VLAN to the individual conversation. Role-based policy control is extended to hundreds of downstream users or devices attached to third-party networking equipment, wireless infrastructure or VPN concentrators. It is all based on an open architecture built using industry-standards for multi-vendor interoperability to protect your investments.

The Matrix N Standalone inspects and classifies incoming traffic; makes L2/L3/L4 forwarding decisions; enforces security and QoS policies; discovers attached voice/video/data users, applications and devices; and authenticates them using 802.1x, Web and/or MAC multi-user authentication simultaneously on every interface.

If your existing switches don’t already support PoE -- this is the way to add support for PoE externally. The Enterasys BL-6000ENT and BL8000ENT Mid-Span Power Hubs provide a safe and efficient way to power IP phones, wireless LAN access points, security cameras and other LAN devices without using an external power supply for each device. Power is supplied over the existing LAN data cabling system, greatly improving the range of installation locations for such devices since they no longer need to be located near a power outlet. It also adds an unprecedented level of safety and reliability for powered LAN devices.

The Mid-Span Power Hub BL-6000ENT is a 24-port rackmount chassis that can power up to 24 devices. Each bank of eight modules is hot-swappable so that modules may be added to the chassis without powering down the unit. If an individual power port is damaged due to a lightning strike or power surge, the module bank may be hot swapped without powering down the chassis or disconnecting the devices attached to other power ports in the chassis.

The Enterasys BL-8000ENT Mid-Span Power Hub is available in 10-slot or 20-slot rackmount chassis that can accommodate up to 10 or 20 individual modules, respectively. Each module is hot-swappable so that modules may be added to the chassis without powering down the unit.

The Enterasys XSR Firewall feature set delivers a high-performance, policy-managed, stateful inspection multilayer firewall. The addition of an enterprise-class firewall complements the XSR’s industry-leading IP WAN routing, Quality of Service, NAT functionality and VPN features, making it well-suited for remote offices that require integrated connectivity, VPN and firewall functionality.

With both firewall and VPN enabled, the XSR delivers an unprecedented level of security to the branch or regional office in a single integrated device. And, in contrast to competitive solutions, the XSR offers the power and performance needed to deliver full-featured security while maintaining wire-speed WAN performance.
