G'day all - a slightly different POV on the new Accelar 8000 from plucked from Information Week daily newsletter [no URL] best, Bosco ___Nortel-Bay Tandem Set To Unveil Router___ The marriage of Northern Telecom, now called Nortel Networks Corp., and Bay Networks Inc. is about to bear fruit that combines the technology of the two networking companies. The Accelar 8000 switch router, to be unveiled this week at the CeBit conference in Hanover, Germany, is an edge and core device developed by the Bay Networks Business Product Group. It incorporates a Nortel-inspired switch fabric that increases reliability, reducing failover to 3 seconds or less. The company hopes the increased reliability will help win the trust of users thinking about combining their voice and data network infrastructures. Says Mike McConnell, director of enterprise management and LAN programs at Infonetics Research Inc., "For many companies these days, if packets are dropped, the whole cost advantage of converged voice and data networks goes out the door." --Brian Riggs
