As competition grows for customers in
the marketplace, enterprises are relying
on technology to help them differentiate
their business. Many of the applications
used to provide services and increase
productivity require reliable, secure
communications. Network resiliency,
security of data, and application-driven
performance are the mainstays of a network
built to provide services.
Aggregating network traffic from wiring
closets and servers provides increased
network performance and aids in trou-
bleshooting. By aggregating wiring closet
traffic into a hardware-based routing switch,
inter-network traffic can be routed at wire-
speed, ensuring application response times,
required by bandwidth-sensitive applica-
tions, are met. Additionally, fewer high-
speed router ports are required since
high-speed wiring closet links are consoli-
dated before connecting to the WAN router.
Troubleshooting is made easier by providing
clear distinctions for traffic segmentation.
The Passport* 1600 is a high-performance
fixed port Layer 3 solution that provides
the resilience, performance, and security
Product Brief
required by today's application and
competition-driven enterprise networks.
Delivering application performance with
proven reliability allows businesses to
differentiate themselves with tools for
everything from customer service to
productivity or collaboration. Resiliency
delivers maximum availability critical for
bandwidth-sensitive and revenue-gener-
ating applications. Application perform-
ance decreases the chance that data will be
dropped when traffic load increases on the
switch. Security features provide added
protection for switch configuration data,
while packet filtering helps secure and
segment sensitive traffic or network access.
