SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AdvancedTCA Summit 2011 -- ZNYX Networks Inc. - the new leader in AdvancedTCA (ATCA) mid-range chassis with the Ultra5' platform - today revolutionizes the ATCA ecosystem by moving the functionality of rackmount switches into the ATCA payload slot. This brings the advantages of ATCA - such as unified system management, 5 9s reliability, and redundancy - to modular network applications. The ZNYX ZX7300 is a cost-effective, easy-to-manage ATCA payload switch that provides extensive 1GbE connectivity for 10GbE chassis and is ideal for any Ethernet application.
"ZNYX is evolving the ATCA ecosystem to be more cost-effective," said Connie Austin, chief executive officer, ZNYX Networks. "ZNYX is focused on providing the application developer a more integrated infrastructure that reduces the complexity and cost of operations. The ZX7300 clearly fills this mission."
The ZX7300, a full L2/L3 switch, provides 24 1GbE RJ-45 copper ports and 2 10GbE SFP+ ports on the front panel. It also has the standard dual 10GbE fabric ports and dual 1Gig base port to the back plane. Consolidating the payload breakout switch into ATCA's redundant and managed infrastructure also improves reliability.
The ZX7300 uses the same OpenArchitect® management software as the ZNYX family of hub-switch. OpenArchitect is a proven switch management environment with industry leading high-availability and packet filtering functionality. Thus the application integrator reduces complexity by having the same switch management technology for the embedded Ethernet routing within the chassis and the fan-out routing to the local devices.
"The ZX7300 is an ideal complement to ZNYX's Ultra5 platforms, providing even greater efficiency, cost savings, and density," said Kevin Austin, director of OEM sales, ZNYX Networks.
Volume shipments of the ZX7300 are available immediately. Please contact Sales@znyx.com for OEM pricing.
