LAN-ATM switches can be directly
interconnected via ATMSpeed
modules, lowering total equipment
costs by eliminating the need for
separate ATM switches at the core
of the network. As networks grow
and powerful Centillion 1000 multi-
service switches are deployed at the
network core, existing Centillion
LAN-ATM switches are readily
redeployed to support wiring closets
and/or server farms.
APPLICATIONS
Centillion LAN-ATM switching solutions
offer a single, consistent architecture
across all facets of the network. This
unified approach ensures maximum
network availability, efficiency, and
interoperability across the full range
of ATM applications, and minimizes
the need for additional user training.
The size of the network governs both
switch selection and the location of
switch deployment. In medium- to
large-sized networks, the Centillion
100 and System 5000BH switches are
ideal for network center installations.
In the largest enterprise environments,
these switches can be used for high-
density wiring closet installations,
with high-speed riser connections to
Centillion 1000 multiservice switches
located in the network center.
And in networks of all sizes, the
Centillion 50 switch is ideal for
deployment in lower-density wiring
closets or workgroup environments.
Enterprise Network
Center Applications
The Centillion 100 and System 5000
switches are both well-suited for
deployment in medium-to-large
network centers and wiring closets.
Both platforms are ideal for deployment
in networks where multiple switches
can be interconnected via PNNI
and/or IISP to build a scalable,
high-performance backbone network.
Single-mode and multimode fiber,
UTP, DS3, and E3 connectivity is
supported for maximum flexibility,
enabling switches to be installed in
network centers or other locations
across the campus backbone
(see Figure 4).
