DIGISOL Expands Its Data Center Offerings, Unveils Next-Gen Switch- DG-GS4934FSE

In order to address needs of today & tomorrow’s data centers, DIGISOL Systems Ltd., a leading provider of IT networking solutions, unveils a next-generation 40G stackable routing switch- DG-GS4934FSE with advance hardware and software architecture design. This feature rich switch provides high availability, scalability, security, energy efficiency, and ease of operation with innovative features such as VSF and redundant power supplies.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Samir Kamat, Head of Systems Engineering Department- Active Networking products, said, “Today, data centers are virtualized and distributed across multiple geographies and to manage them, one requires a simple to manage yet agile solution. Our DG-GS4934FSE, is a future proof switch designed by keeping in mind the requirements of tomorrow’s data center networks. It’s advance performance features and ease of operation makes it an ideal solution for data centers.”

Designed for high-performance computing requirements

DG-GS4934FSE delivers high-performance, hardware based IP routing. RIP, OSPF and BGP provide dynamic routing by exchanging routing information with other Layer 3 switches and routers. With DG-GS4934FSE, customers could easily achieve Policy based Route (PBR), which is important when they need multi exit application. The 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity of DG-GS4934FSE is accomplished via a hot-pluggable 40 Gigabit QSFP+ transceiver which supports distance up to 300 meters over multimode fiber and 10 to 40km over single-mode fiber.

Its Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) feature virtualizes multiple DIGISOL switches into one logical device, achieving the sharing of information and data tables between different switches. The performance and ports density of virtualized device are greatly enlarged by times under VSF. VSF also simplifies management work for network administrator and provides more reliability.

Strong Multicast

DG-GS4934FSE supports abundant multicast features. In Layer 2, such as IGMPv1/v2/v3 snooping and fast leave. L3 multicast protocols such as IGMPv1/v2/v3, PIM-DM, PIM-SM, PIMSSM and even MSDP. With Multicast VLAN Register (MVR), multicast receiver/sender control and illegal multicast source detect functions; DG-GS4934FSE provides great application experience for customer.

Green-Energy

Temperature monitoring, alarming, automatic cooling, energy saving features are realized on DG-GS4934FSE. According to the temperature monitoring, Fan speed can be adjusted or stopped to reduce energy consumption and noise.

Reliable & Efficient:

Bring new level of network performance, reliability and efficiency to your data centre with DG-GS4934FSE switch. It features Digisol’s private fast Ethernet ring protocol, a Multi-layer Ring Protection Protocol (MRPP) which offers advantages of fast convergence, simple protocol calculation, less system resources cost and so on, which can improve the reliability of Ethernet network operation.

Comprehensive QoS

With 8 queues per port, DG-GS4934FSE enable differentiated management of up to 8 traffic types. The traffic is prioritized according to IEEE802.1p, DSCP, IP precedence and TCP/UDP port number, giving optimal performance to real-time applications such as voice and video. DG-GS4934FSE also supports Bi-directional rate-limiting, per port or traffic class, preserves network bandwidth and allows full control of network resources.

Enhanced Security

IEEE 802.1X port-based access control and MAC-based access control ensure all users are authorized before being granted access to the network. Ingress/Egress Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be used to restrict access to sensitive network resources by denying packets based on L2/L3/L4 headers information. And for some services are based on time, the product can support time based ACL to match the requirement. Secure Shell (SSH) encrypts network management information via Telnet providing secure network management. RADIUS Authentication enables centralized control of the switch and restricts unauthorized users from altering the configuration of the switch.

Abundant IPv6 Support

DG-GS4934FSE supports IPv6 switching and routing based on hardware for maximum performance. With increased network devices growing the need for larger addressing and higher security become critical, DG-GS4934FSE will be a right product to meet this requirement.

This future ready Data center switch is priced at Rs. 1,50,000/- and comes with 5 years of warranty.
