But can it handle my porn? - KingAdrock, on 01/29/2008, -10/+38"a network switch that's capable of routing 15 terabits of data per second--the equivalent of moving the entire contents of Wikipedia in a hundredth of a second"
God DAMN! - RealmDown, on 01/29/2008, -1/+24When it gets to 88 TB/sec the Flux capacitor kicks in.
- GaminAndy, on 01/29/2008, -4/+26hmm the a faster way for us to pirate software, movies, and porn!
- borez, on 01/29/2008, -6/+2415 TB/sec
Now that's what I'm talking about - RealmDown, on 01/29/2008, -2/+19As oppose to HD-Ethernet ?
- Quakes, on 01/29/2008, -0/+15No, no more huge ass-capacitors.
- ausfahrt, on 01/29/2008, -6/+16Come on that is pretty funny.
- vuke69, on 01/29/2008, -0/+10This isn't exactly a telecom switch, that would be more along the lines of a CRS-1.
This, at a mere $200k, it only costs about as much as a decked out Cat 6500. This is just a bitchin' core switch, with some fancy extra features. - manfrin, on 01/29/2008, -6/+16Hahaha, the people digging you down are a bit slow. That was hilarious.
- mdoverkill, on 01/29/2008, -1/+10The company I work for is a huge cisco customer, all our data centers are filled with Cat 6500s. I'm sure I'll be installing these in the near future. But Cisco, for the love of god make the damn chassis balanced.
The Cat 6500s are back heavy and unbalanced, not to mention the absolutely tiny handles they have, you are lucky if you can get 3 fingers around the handle. They are pain in the ass to move around and rack. - r00tus3r, on 01/29/2008, -3/+12I'll admit I dugg cavie up mainly because of the peer pressure.
- joshuajonah, on 01/29/2008, -6/+14Imagine a beowu... nevermind.
- user12345, on 01/29/2008, -1/+9I agree.
The big play here is, cabling and SAN fabric reduction. the idea with this platform is, every server is given two 10gigabit connections and that's it. No connections into a SAN fabric are required. Your IP and Fiberchannel go over the common 10g link. Fiber channel over Ethernet, which is part of the "Data center ethernet" standard.
By removing the need for all the excess cabling, you save on capital deployment on every server. You also remove your SAN fabric(more cost avoidance) and every server in the data center no longer needs HBA adapters. The cumulative effect is reduction in energy expenditure(from removing HBA's) which is a further cost avoidance.
This device also squarely gives infiniband the finger.
Also, this device abandoned IOS and is based on SAN OS(on the 9500's) which is nice. - LetsGoHawks, on 01/29/2008, -0/+8More than one server is trying to push data through the switch at a time. You have to add up all the potential bandwidth usage.
Me? I'm gonna wait until the 2nd generation.... 1st gen stuff tends to be buggy and my Netgear router is still fairly new. - musicpyrite, on 01/29/2008, -4/+1115 Tb *****. Huge difference.
- RealmDown, on 01/29/2008, -2/+9Skynet
- MellerTime, on 01/29/2008, -0/+7And I invested a load of money in an iPhone the month it came out... You get over the hurt and eventually you have great make-up sex...
- etx313, on 01/29/2008, -2/+9Fatter Porn Pipes?! I'm for it!
- Joomal, on 01/29/2008, -2/+8In other news, spam output has increased an unprecedented amount in the last few weeks by 10000%.
- vuke69, on 01/29/2008, -0/+5He was joking.
- MudMan69, on 01/30/2008, -0/+5What problems created by Cisco equipment are you talking about? What do VLANs have to do to the Internet?
And so you don't sound like a complete idiot in the future, the Internet works because of something called routing protocols. - catfud, on 01/29/2008, -4/+8i dugg him down cuz still hurts to think blu ray won
- king_aaronj, on 01/29/2008, -1/+4This is the type of article I like to read in the digg technology section!
- KraftDinner101, on 01/29/2008, -0/+3its not saying you would be able to transfer 15 terabits to one drive/server. Its saying you can push 15 terabits of data cumulatively through all its ports. so obviously the bottle-neck would be the HDs, but that doesn't mean 15 terabits of total throughput isn't needed.
- N3tw0rk, on 01/29/2008, -2/+5The fastest 6500 switch provides 720gbps of data throughput through the backplane, or 1440gbps if you combine two 6500s into one virtual switch. So 15tbps is quite the improvement. And our company just invested a load of money on those 6500's just last year! :(
- osbjmg, on 01/30/2008, -0/+3little b :)
- osbjmg, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2Seriously? Raptor Technologies? Force10 maybe, but that's just raw speed. Cisco is more than just some gear.
- osbjmg, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2Best comment on this page, finally an informed digger!
- RedHairedMan, on 01/29/2008, -0/+2You just got a chubby, didn't you?
- MasterChi, on 01/30/2008, -0/+21.87500 Terabytes per second to be exact.
- kentifer, on 01/29/2008, -1/+3That story had a lot of analogies.
- Kumaku, on 01/29/2008, -2/+4No more huge-ass capacitors?
- paulierocks, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2Nice retort MudMan....to be fair, though, IOS can be buggy, but if you want to remain on the bleeding edge, EXPECT TO BLEED. I think that new switch sounds pretty cool, but those 6500s are pretty damned reliable. 15 Tb/sec.....WOW.
- ninja0, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2Though there are better quality and performing or other products (Nortel?) out there than cisco, cisco is still a major player in the networking technology.
- Prodigyman, on 01/29/2008, -0/+2My thoughts exactly when i saw this.... Just amazing
- osbjmg, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2FFFabric.
- user12345, on 01/29/2008, -0/+2huh?
Jumiper and Cisco are the defaultless internet routers far and away, are you kidding with with this stuff? - BlackJackJester, on 01/29/2008, -1/+3I worked in a lab that had many of those. I once accidentally dropped one on my wrist. cut me up pretty good. I felt so emo having bandages around my wrist.
Make sure you take out the power supplies first :) they are half the weight! - quizzoid, on 01/29/2008, -1/+3According to the Cisco SE that I spoke with, the NX OS is a combination of IOS plus the older SAN OS. So, counting up the Cisco code families, we have Catalyst OS (including hybrid), IOS (including native), modular IOS, IOS XR, NX OS (the new one), and SAN OS?
Can you say, "fragmented and all over the place?" - digudown, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2Or you can learn about RAID.
- ninja0, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2bahahaha... you told him good. but wait! everyone uses switches on the interwebz! what is this routing protocol you speaks of?
- rfquinn, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1Isn't it still recommended that you use iSCSI HBAs to offload the network overhead from the server?
- BSDaemon, on 01/31/2008, -0/+1Why have people dugg this comment? He can't even get his units right...
- linksus, on 01/29/2008, -8/+9You have to realise that yeah, its can transfer that much data quickly, however that wont be from one port to another. So its not really like downloading all those movies is it. Its like shifting them about a bit.
- osbjmg, on 01/30/2008, -0/+1Actually this thing is based on fibre channel - ethernet for now on the outside.
- cheekybastard, on 01/30/2008, -0/+1Thanks anyways ...
AnyConnect Client Features
The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client is the next-generation VPN client, providing remote users with secure VPN connections to the Cisco 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance running ASA version 8.0 and higher or ASDM 6.0 and higher. It does not connect with a PIX device nor with a VPN 3000 Series Concentrator.
Note PIX does not support SSL VPN connections, either clientless or AnyConnect. - thesarcasmic, on 01/29/2008, -2/+3"the equivalent of moving the entire contents of Wikipedia in a hundredth of a second"
I hate inaccurate examples.
What horrible math. 15/Tbps works out to 1.705/TBps That amount of bandwidth at that speed transferred in 1/100th of a second, as the article states above, would be ~17GB.... Wikipedia is a little larger than that. - BSDaemon, on 01/31/2008, -0/+1Raptor? Was that a joke?
Do some research before you post so that you don't sound like such a fool. You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about, and everyone who reads your comment gets a chuckle out of it. -
