Ether-Raptor ER-1010


Imagine a 1G / 10G Ethernet switch where every stream gets the highest Quality of Service even at full “wire speed” on every port. The switching delay is so low it is transparent to latency-critical applications such as VoIP and streaming video. It comes in a chassis less than 2 inches tall that scales effortlessly by simply adding units, without disrupting service. And it costs less than half of conventional products. If you think this is just a dream, read on.

The ER-1010
redefines price performance by redefining switch architecture. Conventional switches all rely on centralized controls which quickly become bottlenecks. Raptor Adaptive Switching Technology – RAST™ - is a distributed architecture that eliminates the bottlenecks, dramatically improves performance and actually simplifies the design. The result is a highly scalable product that is much smaller, much simpler, and much less expensive than the alternatives.

RAST provides unparalleled flexibility by allowing chassis to be either co-located or geographically separated with each one “binding” to the others to form a single switch with inherent security, redundancy, and rapid fault recovery. Availability beyond 99.9999% is achievable and network management is greatly enhanced. For example, configurations such as VLANs, ACLs, QoS, etc. need only be set up at one node and RAST immediately propagates the settings to every other node which saves a lot of time and greatly reduces human error.

The ER-1010 is a 1U Layer 2–4 data classification switch that offers multiple configurations for both pluggable fiber and copper module I/O boards at 1 GbE and 10 GbE. With its distributed network, all of the capabilities and features of the ER-1010 are maintained between switches even at distances limited only by fiber-optic technology, currently 120 km over dark fiber, but unlimited over CWDM/DWDM. If your existing system is out of date and needs upgrading, this is a switch that can be introduced and embedded seamlessly into your network providing proven superior performance enhancement, ease of use, and redundancy for less than half the price of major switch providers.

The ER-1010 was voted by Reviewboard Magazine™ as the winner of the “2005 Reviewboard Select Award for Best Switching Solution of the Year” for its ease of use, cost, and overall performance.
