The NXESBTI24 24-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch is a compact, high-performance, high-availability and high-density solution for NEXIO® video, storage and file transfer networking. Focused on enterprise-class networking, this switch is widely accepted by broadcasters and IT departments alike in market segments where NEXIO servers are sold. Available with optional redundant power supply modules, this switch offers proven network performance and reliability, and underlines the Harris commitment to enterprise-class computing.
Customers who deploy 10 GbE network infrastructures realize the highest achievable workflow performance over a standard IP LAN that can also support clients with lower-speed Ethernet interfaces. For the fastest data access to broadcast online storage, such as NEXIO Farad™, or through gateway servers, such as the NEXIO Media Host or NEXIO FTP Gateway,10 Gigabit Ethernet delivers.
The NXESBTI24 switch offers high-performance 10 GbE connectivity, which is ideally suited to high-bandwidth, high-volume data movement. NXESBTI24 switches can be used with FTP, NAS, CIFS, file- and folder-based transfer, and third-party Ethernet-based media device support.
By using two NXESBTI24 switches in a NEXIO server SAN (storage area network) system, a redundant Ethernet topology can be created for NEXIO server communication. The NEXIO real-time system uses low-level control of the Ethernet interfaces for the most effective control and detection of errors requiring failover to an alternate data pathway. This approach protects the system from a port, cable or complete Ethernet switch failure. In the event of a failure, the system sends probe commands to detect whether the alternate pathway is available. Once connectivity is re-established, the system will automatically start using the redundant configuration again.
The NXESBTI24 switch is based on the Brocade® TurboIron 24 switch in a tested configuration that is ideal for the NEXIO broadcast environment. The advanced capabilities of this switch deliver performance and intelligence in a flexible 1RU form factor that reduces the total cost of ownership.
An optional redundant power supply is available for added peace of mind with today’s critical broadcast workflows.
Many current NEXIO configurations include a mixture of 10 GbE and 1 GbE connections. The NXESBTI24 switch is an ideal aggregation switch, connecting to one or more GbE switches such as the NXESB624 or NXESB648 with 10 GbE links. A 10 GbE link kit is available for the NXESB 600 Series switches to facilitate this connectivity.
