10 MES3000 Ethernet switch series
1 INTRODUCTION
In the last few years, more and more large-scale projects are utilizing NGN concept for
communication network development. One of the main tasks in implementation of large multiservice
networks is the creation of reliable high-performance transport network, that will serve as a backbone in
multilayer architecture of next-generation networks.
For delivering high transfer rates, Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and 10Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) data transfer
technologies are widely used. High-speed data transmission, especially in large-scale networks, requires a
network topology that will allow flexible distribution of high-speed data flows.
MES3000 series switches could be used in large enterprise networks, SMB networks and operator's
networks. They provide high performance, flexibility, security and multi-tier QoS in conjunction with high
reliability provided by the backup of nodes, that enable fail-over operation—power modules and
ventilation modules.
