3COM switches

New released, the H3C data center switches are now on a testing roll. As they've known, H3C core switches got kudos from independent testers for their exceptional performance and resiliency. Contemporarily, the switches have gotten a nod on efficiency and proficiency.

For this time accolade comes from Miercom, a world-renowned provider of independent test services who put their H3C S12508 core switch and its smaller, top-of-the-rack cousin, the S5820X, through their paces. At the end of the testing, Miercom gave both switches its “Certified Green” award-the first ever data center class products to receive this designation and specifications.

We know that Miercom specification validated that their H3C switches use up to 50% less energy than competitors. Miercom also gave the nod to their Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology, calling it another green innovation that further reduces energy consumption. IRF technology helps customers deploy a flatter, higher performing, yet simplified two-tier network design that requires fetheyr switching platforms to performance.

That's for sure that 3Com wins such distinction is no fluke. 3Com has long recognized that operational excellence for modern IT requires a deep commitment to energy efficiency. They know it's not something that can be retrofitted into old, potheyr-hungry gear or slapped onto new products as an afterthought or, on a worse condition, just written on paper.
