Not sure I'd credit Juniper 100% for the ex2500 line. EX2500 The Juniper EX2500 line of 10Gb Ethernet switches address high-performance server access requirements with twenty-four 10 GbE SFP+ ports that deliver wire-speed performance and 700 nanosecond latency. The EX2500 Series will support 480 Gigabit per second (Gbps) throughput (full duplex) in a 1 rack-unit (RU) footprint. The EX2500 Series is expected to be available in 2Q 2009. The EX2500 Series has both power and fan redundancy as standard features. The EX2500 Series comes with dual, load-sharing power supplies, as well as redundant, variable-speed fans to protect from single power supply or fan failure. The EX2500 is a rebranded OEM product which does not run JunOS. Its technical configuration, performance and physical case style is similar to the Blade Network Technologies RackSwitch G8124 http://www.bladenetwork.net/RackSwitch-G8124.html jbt _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
