Matrix® X-Series
Secure, Non-Stop 10GbE Modular Core/Data Center Router
Today’s networks need to meet the business requirements of the most sophisticated enterprise customers. Those requirements go beyond performance, quality of service and scalability to include enhanced business continuity, risk mitigation, and enterprise security.
The Matrix® X family of core routers provides unrivalled performance, capacity and functionality. The Matrix X extends Enterasys’ security leadership to the critical aggregation point at the network core. Designed to support next-generation applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP), video to the desktop, high-performance imaging, and grid computing for massive data-intensive environments, the Matrix X’s unique architecture combines groundbreaking Terabit capacities, carrier-class high availability and embedded security features to form the industry’s most powerful and secure core router.
Purpose built for enterprise backbones and corporate data centers and capable of supporting 128 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, the Matrix X provides a reliable, high-performance switching and routing solution across a family of three chassis configurations. Its flexible architecture—where throughput and port density are increased with common, interchangeable I/O modules—enables the Matrix X to adapt to changing requirements cost-effectively, delivering a higher return on investment.
Matrix X is the ideal solution for:
- LAN Backbone Aggregation
- High-Performance Server Farms
- Internet Exchanges
- Grid Computing and Server Clustering
The Matrix X has extended Enterasys’ leadership in Secure Networks™ solutions for the enterprise to the network core, the heart of the infrastructure that drives the lifeblood of the organization. Matrix X solutions allow organizations to implement an IT infrastructure built for the future, delivering all of the advantages of next-generation applications and services, while mitigating the risk of security vulnerabilities and delivering proactive response to threats and attacks.
Three Platforms to Fit Any Environment
The Matrix X family of secure core routers scales to provide packet forwarding capacity of 476 Mpps and consists of the 16-slot Matrix X16, 8-slot Matrix X8 and 4-slot Matrix X4 chassis. All chassis utilize common components, reducing the expense of sparing, maintenance, and upgrading to higher density chassis variants where all the components except for the individual chassis switching modules can be interchanged and used in any Matrix chassis variant.
