Nano-latency 10 Gigabit Concentrators

Nano-latency
The Concentrator goes beyond the ultra-low latency category to the sub-100-nanosecond realm of “nano-latency”. With less than 100ns port-to-port FIFO latency and very low jitter, Concentrators are the preferred solution for latency sensitive applications.

High Throughput
With 10 Gigabits per second of bidirectional throughput available to all nodes, the Concentrator is an ideal top-of-rack (TOR) switch replacement for data-intensive and streaming media applications in high performance data center and lab networks.

Rapid Setup
With auto-detection ports and an open network architecture, the Concentrator provides an extremely easy setup and is ideal for quick implementations and fast changing environments. This ease of use greatly reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) since little or no configuration, management, or training are required in order to operate with optimal performance.

Scalable Connectivity
The ultra-low latency and innovative design of the Concentrator allows additional Concentrators to be connected for more ports or to act as repeaters to cover long distances, all while maintaining very low latency.

WideBand Nano-latency application areas include:

• Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) test lab environments
• Simulation for flight, driving, and combat training
• Multi-node battlefield communication systems
• High performance cluster computing (HPC) environments such as digital content distribution
• Digital video surveillance with processing such as facial recognition
• Signal processing
• Scientific research
• High Frequency Trading
• Network monitoring and packet sniffing

Building a 10GbE Network Fabric

– 552 Usable Ports
– Nano-latency

Using 25 of the 24-port 10 Gigabit Concentrators, it is possible to create a 600-port, nano-latency network fabric with 552 available ports. Additional Concentrators can be added with minimal latency.  Each of these SFP+ ports can be connected with copper or fiber using standard 10GBASE-R cables and modules.
