ERS 8300 Series
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 is a uniquely versatile modular LAN Switch perfectly suitable for use in both the network core and edge. Supporting Nortel’s proven Switch Clustering technology for always-on application availability, the ERS 8300 is the platform of choice for the mid-sized Enterprise. The addition of a network virtualisation capability allows the ERS 8300 to support highly flexible network topologies and support otherwise conflicting organisational structures.
ERS 8600 Series
Converged applications, which increase employee productivity and your bottom line, require a resilient, secure and intelligent network. The Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 combines Terabit performance with Nortel’s unique reliability technologies to create the basis of a Resilient Terabit cluster solution and to provide enterprises with a truly unified communications network.
RPS 15 Series
The Ethernet Routing Switch RPS (Redundant Power Supply) 15 is a low cost yet scalable redundant power supply system that provides redundancy and power protection in a single chassis for stackable Nortel Ethernet Routing Switches and Ethernet Switches. The RPS 15 maintains network operation in case of device power failure. The RPS 15 chassis is 2 Rack Unit high and can accommodate up to three Redundant Power Supply (RPS) Modules. Each RPS module can deliver up to 600W of power.
