Cisco shows off 10GB Ethernet at show:
LAS VEGAS, Nev., May 8, 2000 - Cisco Systems today debuted the company's first public technology demonstration of 10 Gigabit Ethernet and announced a range of Gigabit over copper (1000BASE-T) solutions
To that end, Cisco's technology demonstration at Networld+ Interop will show a 10 Gigabit Ethernet solution that supports data center applications
The company's roadmap targets 10 Gigabit offerings to become available in second half of 2000 (calendar) timeframe.
Available today, Cisco's Catalyst 1000BASE-T solutions can be deployed for applications such as data centers for server switching
For example, the data center is a mission-critical resource that requires not only higher speed and greater bandwidth but also the ability to deploy intelligent network services for server farm aggregation and application hosting. The Catalyst family of switches directly addresses these issues and deliver intelligent services that operate at Layer 2, Layer 3and Layer 4-7 services at multi-Gigabit speeds. These include high availability, QoS, security and policy enforcement, server load balancing (SLB), Web caching as well as IP/IPX and mulitcast routing, 802.1p, 802.1Q, Gigabit EthernetChannel, Fast EtherChannel, ISL, VLANs, and spanning tree.
