Best Enterprise ATM Switch: LightStream Defines Multiservice SwitchMarket
Cisco's purchase of Lightstream brought with it the Lightstream 2020MultiserviceATM Switch, and it has defined the multiservice switch market. Everythingfrom high-speed OC-3 to fractional T1 can be accommodated in the 2020 MultiserviceATM Switch. Non-ATM technologies like Frame Relay, Ethernet and FDDI alsohave a home in the 2020, making it a great choice for consolidating campusand WAN services into one box.
FORE Systems ForeRunner ASX-1000 ATM Backbone Switch is much more focusedon ATM, and even though it cannot accommodate other technologies, with a10-Gbps backplane, it is undoubtedly a full-f
ledged Enterprise switch. TheForeRunner ASX-1000 can accommodate up to 96 OC-3 ports, making it one ofthe biggest backbone switches on the market today.
Bay Networks added the System 5000AH to its 5000-series hub product linelate last year. The addition has brought ATM to Bay's otherwise complete5000 product line. Bay continues to enhance the 5000 series and the companyis expected to bring out new ATM modules based on technology obtained inits acquisition of Centillion last year. As a result, we'll tune into theBay watch.
