Offering unrivaled performance, capacity and functionality, the Matrix X extends Enterasys' security leadership to the critical aggregation point at the network core. Designed to support multiple applications and services, including converged voice/video/data, the Matrix X's unique architecture combines groundbreaking Terabit capacities, carrier-class high availability and embedded security features to form the industry's most powerful and secure core router. Ideal for the enterprise backbone or data center, the Matrix X provides a reliable, high-performance switching and routing solution across a wide range of chassis configurations. Its flexible architecture, where throughput and port density are increased with common, interchangeable I/O modules, enables the Matrix X to adapt to changing requirements cost-effectively, ensuring essential business continuity and delivering a higher return on investment. With a dedicated control plane that operates separately from the switching/ routing function, the Matrix X accommodates upgrades and other changes to the network without delays or negatively impacting performance. The dual-plane feature also ensures maximum availability in the event of a security threat; the Matrix X will quickly identify and isolate an attack without disrupting service on other segments.
