The CoreBuilder 7000HD switch supports demanding enterprise
backbones and high-density data center applications, providing
high-performance ATM switching at both the network core and
boundary. The CoreBuilder 7000HD platform features a 5.0 Gbps
switching engine that provides capacity for up to 32 nonblocking OC-3
155 ports or up to 8 nonblocking OC-12 622 Mbps ports. Using an
enhanced i960CF processor, the CoreBuilder 7000HD switch supports
expanded memory, higher performance LAN Emulation services and
faster signaling (up to 50% improvement over version 4.0). The switch
also accommodates scalable, high density Ethernet/ATM, Fast Ethernet
and Gigabit Ethernet interface cards. The four slot chassis allows for a
mixture of port types with versatile media options for a wide range of
network configurations.
