Teranetics Showcases Arista 48-Port Switch With 10GBASE-T at Interop Las Vegas

World's first production ready Dual-port PHY delivers the highest density
practical for Ethernet

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Teranetics, Inc., a leading
provider of high performance Ethernet solutions, is showcasing the Arista
Networks high density, auto-negotiating 1/10GBASE-T 7100T switches in their
booth at Interop Las Vegas. The Arista 7100T switches, featuring both 48 and
24-port models take advantage of the Teranetics TN2022 Dual-port PHY to
deliver the highest port density possible in an Ethernet system, 48-ports in a
one rack unit form factor. Driving up port density allows the cost per port
to come down and with the ease-of-use of BASE-T, the new switches bring all
the pieces together to make 10GE practical for deployment in mainstream
applications.

"Port densities of auto-negotiating 1/10GBASE-T and volume 10/100/1000
switches now match. Combined with investment protection for existing Category
5e, 6 and 6a cabling, the Arista 7100T switches are key to driving wide
adoption of 10GBASE-T to the server," said Jeff Hirschman, Director of
platform engineering at Arista. "The reliability of Teranetics TN2022 design
makes it a suitable fit for our needs."

"By looking at the underlying needs of OEMs and their data center customers,
Teranetics continues to deliver technology that enables broad adoption of 10
Gigabit Ethernet," said Sanjay Kasturia, CTO and Chairman at Teranetics. "We
are very pleased that Arista chose our product as a part of creating the cost
effective, high performance value proposition of their 7100T switches."

Due to the connector size, the highest density practical for stand-alone
Ethernet switches in one rack unit is 48 ports. Achieving this density is
seminal to making the cost per port of a switch as low as possible and with
the 48-port 7100T switch, Arista is the first to achieve this benchmark port
density with 10GBASE-T. This density can now drive the economics of 10GbE
ports to the traditional cost metrics expected for mainstream Ethernet
applications while keeping the ease-of-use of the traditional RJ-45 connector
associated with BASE-T. With this, 10 Gigabit Ethernet becomes an attractive
choice for data center managers who require bandwidth upgrades in addition to
a fabric for unifying multiple rates and networks in the data center.

Teranetics is the established leader in the development of 10GBASE-T products.
Teranetics was the first to introduce a single-chip, multi-rate PHY and the
first to introduce a single chip, dual-port PHY. This second generation PHY
can operate below 6W/port while connected on cable lengths exceeding 100
meters. In addition, the TN2022 features multi-rate capabilities, enabling it
to be used with ubiquitous RJ-45 Ethernet connectors and making it backward
compatible with existing 1 Gigabit and 100 Megabit network gear.

At Interop
The 48-port Arista 7100T switch can be seen in Teranetics booth on the Interop
Las Vegas (Booth #2331) show floor as well as at the Arista booth (Booth #
1651)
