As seen in Network World: The 3Com Switch 7906E—a Fast, Green Alternative to Cisco
New core switch tests show high unicast scalability, low power use
The 3Com Switch 7906E...
›
"... delivers excellent performance while drawing remarkably low power. 3Com, long absent from the high-end enterprise networking market in North
America, is back with a credible enterprise switch"
›
"... its strong performance and low power consumption make it a viable option for large and midsized organizations in the market for core and
aggregation switches."
›
"Average and maximum latency – key metrics for real-time applications involving voice and video – were also remarkably low and consistent. ... around
half the number we measured with Cisco's Catalyst 6509 (10GE) ..."
›
"To get a sense of the scale of the (OSPF) numbers ... the 288 concurrent OSPF sessions represent the largest scale Network World has attempted
in any test published"
›
"... there is anecdotal evidence that competing switches consume 3,000 watts or more in similar configurations."

3Com SecBlade Advanced VPN Firewall Module
The SecBlade Advanced VPN Firewall for the 3Com Switch 8800 and Switch 7900E modular LAN platforms delivers advanced threat protection
for the network core—helping prevent business disruptions, revenue loss and damage to an organization's reputation caused by security breaches.
Built on the latest state-of-the-art multi-core CPU platform, this firewall module enables advanced network protection at multi-Gigabit speeds. It combines
built-in protection against denial of service and hacking attacks with virtual private network (VPN) support, zonal and virtual stateful packet inspection firewall,
application bandwidth management, audio/video IP multicast routing, peer-to-peer traffic control and email attachment filtering. With these advanced security
capabilities built on top of the same operating system that powers all 3Com enterprise switching and routing platforms, a rich networking feature set with ease
of integration and lowest total cost of ownership is assured.
This advanced security module helps safeguard the network from attacks and misuse, while delivering policy-based multisite connectivity for real-time
business-critical applications such as VoIP, video and collaboration tools. High-availability features help ensure wire-speed traffic flow even in the event of
network or internal device error or loss of power to the primary device.
