3Com introduced a terabit-capacity, enterprise modular core network platform for large-scale, secure convergence and application integration.
The Switch 8800 uses dual load-sharing switch fabrics so that adding resiliency will also double switch performance. The Switch 8800’s 1.44 Terabit backplane initially delivers up to twenty-four 10 Gigabit wirespeed ports and 288 Gigabit wirespeed ports – but can support a second generation fabric and modules to double the switch’s performance and capacity.
The Switch 8800 is complemented by 10 Gigabit modules for the 3Com Switch 7700 at enterprise network aggregation points and for the 3Com Switch 3870 delivering Gigabit-to-the-desktop at the edge of the network.
