Target Applications
Enterprise Core
BlackDiamond 10808 provides the medium to large
enterprise an ideal core switch solution that satisfies
their complete network needs. The CLEAR-Flow
Security Rules Engine and Layer 3 virtual switching
capability of BlackDiamond 10808 has set the bar for
core security.
Carrier Ethernet Core and Distribution
Carrier Ethernet networks are typically composed of
three device types—Customer Edge, Provider Edge and
Provider Aggregation. Not all networks will use all three
devices. For example, an IPTV network may be deployed
using only a provider aggregation switch at a provider
point of presence. BlackDiamond 10808 is ideally suited
for either provider aggregation or point of presence
within Carrier Ethernet networks.

Internet Exchanges
An Internet Exchange Point (IXP) allows different
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to exchange Internet
traffic between their autonomous systems by means of
mutual peering agreements. IXPs are typically used by
ISPs to reduce dependency on their respective upstream
providers; furthermore, they are used to increase
efficiency and fault-tolerance. BlackDiamond 10808
addresses the need for high-performance and fault-tolerant
connectivity required for IXPs using gigabit and 10
Gigabit Ethernet as the interconnect technology, along
with resiliency technologies such as EAPS.
