DATA SHEET | nGenius 3900 Series Packet Flow Switch Scalable The nGenius 3900 series packet flow switch is available in 1, 3, and 12 slot compact form factors and is a high density connectivity and monitoring solution available offering savings in rack space, power, and cooling. Each NetScout Layer 1 switch blade (S-Blade) supports 48 ports of connectivity and/ or monitoring per rack unit, while the optical switch blade (O-Blade) supports 96 fully non-blocking ports in 2 rack units. The Layers 2-7 packet switching module supports up to 48 ports of 1/10Gbps Ethernet and 4 ports of 40Gbps Ethernet for packet switching, filtering, and aggregation. The scalability of the 3900 series stretches from 16 to 576 ports of non-blocking connectivity without wasting ports on inter switch links. This results in a flatter, simpler network. Flexible The nGenius 3900 series supports a hybrid electrical and all-optical non-blocking switching fabric and a hybrid Layer 1 and Layers 2-7 packet switching fabric in the same platform. The universal S-Blade provides any-to-any connectivity, while the integrated test access ports and multicast functions allow nonintrusive, low-latency monitoring and one-to-many connectivity. Ports within the same blade can support Ethernet as well as Fibre Channel applications across a wide range of data rates from 1Gbps to 10Gbps. The all-optical O-Blade supports all photonic applications ranging from analog to digital with data rates up to 100Gbps and beyond. The packet switching interface module provides advanced traffic flow filtering, aggregation, and load balancing, adding intelligence and optimization to your monitoring applications. The 3903 and 3912 chassis are designed with a fully redundant architecture, including hotswappable, field replaceable parts for the industry’s highest availability. Extensive Architecture The modular architecture of the nGenius 3900 series packet flow switch enables a “pay as you grow” model for the ultimate in flexibility and scalability. Each of the systems is designed to support the growing capacity needed per application or site. All modules are interchangeable across any switch in the family providing investment protection as needs scale with increased connectivity and monitoring. In addition, as network speeds increase from low speeds to high speeds, the same infrastructure scales up to current and future Ethernet and Fibre Channel speeds via simple software settings, without additional hardware costs.
