Allied Telesis recently launched the new SwitchBlade SBx8112 at its annual event for partners from the Gulf countries, the Levant region, East Africa and Pakistan.
The product is a next-generation, intelligent Layer 3 chassis switch, the vendor said, highlighting the contribution that it can make to the “Stairway to the Cloud” model. Allied Telesis said in the presentation that the product would enable every small, mid-size and large enterprise to “easily and effectively” migrate to cloud operations.
With its 160 non-oversubscribed, wire-speed 10G ports in a 11-rack unit, the SBx8112 is the highest capacity and density Layer 3 chassis on the market, the firm said.
Allied Telesis added that the new product can be combined with multiple SwitchBlade x908 switches, creating a single “virtual core”, regardless of physical connections and positions.
The firm also showcased a live resilient network network solution demonstration at its December partner event, which attracted over 70 partners. The firm also held a presentation on the latest information on the vendor’s service and support models.
“Allied Telesis has seen considerable growth in the Middle East markets,” said Sabbahuddin Khan, Regional Manager for the Middle East, Allied Telesis. “Customers are looking for high-performance, reliable solutions, alongside excellent support and affordability. These are an integral part of the Allied Telesis offering, which makes us the natural choice.
“Channels in the region have realised that they can ensure better customer satisfaction when working with Allied Telesis solutions.”
To finish off its conference, the firm showcased its Star Partner Programme, a membership programme designed to attract partners through a range of benefits.
