Enterasys Matrix E1
Ideal for networks that require high-performance, high-bandwidth connections and robust multilayer features, the Matrix E1-Series of 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet workgroup switches give you flexible options custom-tailored for your environment. The Matrix E1-Series can handle the demanding requirements of bandwidth-intensive, enterprise applications such as videoconferencing, distance learning, enterprise resource planning, and disaster recovery as well as simultaneous intranet and Internet connectivity -- all at wire speed.

Whether you're upgrading the overall network infrastructure or expanding it at the edge and distribution layer, the Matrix E1-Series is ideally suited for the wiring and data center. Wire-speed performance and industry-leading features allow seamless integration into any small or medium business, or large enterprise network.

Enterasys N3 Platinum
The Matrix N-Series represents an industry breakthrough in enterprise switching and is a cornerstone of Enterasys' Secure Networks strategy. Its flow-based, distributed processing architecture provides the ease of deployment, predictable service capabilities and forward migration required in today's networked enterprise environments.

Ideal for premium edge, collapsed backbone, distribution switching and server farm aggregation implementations, the chassis based Matrix N-Series includes the 3-slot Matrix N3 switch, the 5-slot Matrix N5 switch, and the 7-slot Matrix N7 switch. All chassis leverage Enterasys' exclusive distributed architecture whereby the switching and control functions are embedded on each module, delivering unsurpassed reliability, scalability and fault tolerance. Customers can quickly and cost-effectively add connectivity as needed without sacrificing performance on existing ports.

802.1X
Network devices that support the 802.1X specification (RFC 3580) can integrate with Check Point Integrity to analyze and act upon an endpoint's current security stature. Enterasys switches communicate with Check Point Integrity to verify endpoint compliance with corporate security policy prior to enabling full access to the network. Non-compliant endpoints are automatically placed in a 'quarantine' VLAN where network access is limited to remediation tools. Once the endpoint has been brought into a compliant state, it can be moved to the 'compliant' network segment where it gains appropriate access to network resources. This process ensures insecure or compromised systems are shielded from the production network until they have been properly cleaned and protected.

ClusterXL
ClusterXL provides high availability and load sharing to keep businesses running. Enterasys switches distribute traffic between clusters of redundant gateways using ClusterXL technology so that the computing capacity of multiple machines may be combined to increase total throughput. If an individual gateway becomes unreachable, all connections are redirected to a designated backup without interruption.
