Cabletron SmartSwitch 9000 Solution is Certified Up to Spec by the Tolly Group
SmartSwitch 9000 Verified to Provide Wire Speed Switching Between Token Ring and High Speed Networking Technologies
ROCHESTER, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 18, 1999-- Cabletron Systems (NYSE: CS - news) announced today its SmartSwitch 9000 was certified Up To Spec by The Tolly Group in a benchmark evaluation of Token Ring switching in heterogenous networks. Testing proved that the SmartSwitch 9000 delivers wire-speed performance across multiple streams of traffic while performing translational switching between Token Ring and Fast Ethernet, FDDI and Ethernet.

Cabletron leads the market by offering this capability in a single chassis, allowing customers to easily and affordably migrate existing Token Ring segments into Fast Ethernet, FDDI, Gigabit Ethernet, WAN and ATM networks.

''Cabletron's SmartSwitch 9000 effectively translates and forwards traffic between heterogeneous networks,'' said Kevin Tolly, President and CEO of The Tolly Group. ''Even with multi-technology switching across an ATM backbone, the SmartSwitch 9000 was able to deliver wire speed performance.''

Cabletron is announcing The Tolly Group's results in conjunction with a price reduction on the SmartSwitch 9000 copper switch module used within the test. Additionally, Cabletron is introducing a new fiber optic Token Ring switch module (see associated 1/11 press release).

''The SmartSwitch 9000 is an excellent investment-protecting solution for linking disparate networking technologies,'' said Michael Skubisz, Cabletron's chief technology officer. ''We are pleased to have this unique capability within the SmartSwitch 9000 independently verified by such an industry-leading test lab.''

The Tolly Group's evaluation focused on measuring throughput of the SmartSwitch 9000 while performing translational switching within a heterogeneous network of Token Ring, Fast Ethernet, FDDI and Ethernet, across an ATM backbone, and in homogeneous Token Ring environments.
