Network World's Cisco News Alert

Cisco Catalyst 4948-10GE aces performance tests

By David Newman and Network World Lab Alliance
Network World, 09/05/05

In an exclusive Network World test, Cisco's Catalyst 4948-10GE
delivered record low latency and line-rate throughput. Coupled
with innovative security mechanisms and an extensive list of
switching and routing features, this switch earns a Clear Choice
award.

With a price of $30,000, the Catalyst 4948-10GE is too costly to
be deployed in every wiring closet, but the price makes sense
for use in data centers where the switch can aggregate
connections from many servers and send traffic over a 10-Gigabit
Ethernet backbone.

The Catalyst 4948-10GE offers 48 copper Gigabit Ethernet and two
10G Ethernet ports, much like competing products from Extreme
Networks, Force10 Networks and Foundry Networks.
