INEX UPGRADES EXISTING SWITCH CENTRE EQUIPMENT
INEX, Ireland’s only Internet Exchange Point, has upgraded its switching centre equipment located at the Data Electronics Group facility in Kilcarbery Park, Dublin 22, with dual Cisco Catalyst 6500 switches. These next generation network architecture switches have 10-Gigabit Ethernet capacity, providing INEX with the framework for secure converged network services into the future. By installing identical Catalyst 6500 switches, side-by-side, INEX provides its Members with a high level of redundancy, necessary to protect its proud record of never having experienced an unplanned outage since the formation of the Association in 1996. Currently, eleven of Ireland’s leading ISPs route Internet traffic through the INEX switches, see www.inex.ie. barry.rhodes@inex.ie
