The NetVanta® 838 Enhanced Protection (EP) is a Carrier Ethernet Network Termination Unit (NTU) that terminates up to eight e.SHDSL copper pairs. Two 10/100 Ethernet ports are provided for customer use. The NetVanta 838 EP is designed for cost-effective deployment of voice and data services to small- and medium-sized businesses, supporting bandwidth indoors of up to 120 Mbps. However, typical deployments using outside plant copper for extended distances will be closer to 16 Mbps (2 Mbps per loop) service offering.

This Brocade switch is manufactured for EMC and is known as the EMC Connectrix DS-300B. Good port density and scalability for a mid-range enterprise SAN. Minimum ports are 8 and can be upgraded 8 at a time. This allows you to start smaller and at a cost-effective price point and build out as needed. This switch is becoming more affordable and is flexible enough for entry-level SANs or as core to edge in SAN environments. - 24 Fibre Channel universal ports with 1, 2, and 4 Gbit/s full duplex. 8 port base and expandable in 8 port increments. - Full line-speed switching and auto-sensing of 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps port speeds - Enhanced Transmission Selection - ISL Trunking up to eight 8Gb/s ports per ISL Trunk, for a single Trunk up to 68 Gb/s (8 ports x 8.5 Gb/s). - Fibre Channel media type: Hot-plug, standard Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) and SFP+, LC connector

WS-C4500X-32SFP+ is a Cisco Catalyst 4500-X Series Switch. It is a fixed aggregation switch that delivers best-in-class scalability, simplified network virtualization, and integrated network services for space-constrained environments in campus networks. NOTE: THERE ARE NO UPLINK MODULES.

The GigaStack GBIC adds port density and high-performance connectivity to supporting switches. When installed in a supporting switch, the GigaStack GBIC supports Gigabit connections in a cascaded stack or point-to-point configuration. The GigaStack GBIC autonegotiates the duplex setting of each port to maximize the bandwidth for your configuration.

The Intel Xeon E5-2407 2.20 GHz 10M Quad Core Processor enhances the performance and the speed of your system. Additionally, the Virtualization Technology enables migration of more environments. It supports enhanced SpeedStep® technology that allows tradeoffs to be made between performance and power consumption. Its Thermal Monitoring Technologies protect the processor package and the system from thermal failure through several thermal management features. The VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT) also known as Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), provides acceleration for memory intensive virtualized applications. Packed with more features, the Xeon E5-2407 2.20 GHz 10M Quad Core Processor is the ideal choice for virtually all of your data demanding or standard enterprise infrastructure applications.
