The Nimbra 600 series includes an array of carrier-class network switches that typically form the high-capacity backbone layer of a Nimbra network, aggregating and switching traffic from Nimbra 300 series or Nimbra One
access nodes.
The Nimbra 600 platform is fully compatible with all other Nimbra platforms from both transport and management point of view. Existing Nimbra platform users can take advantage of the Nimbra 600 series to economically scale their networks.
The family includes the Nimbra 680 and Nimbra 688 switches. Both of them are designed to give the highest possible bandwidth utilization while still guaranteeing Quality of Service. This is true regardless of network topology and load.
The Nimbra 680 features up to 80 Gbps redundant, non-blocking switching and 8 interface slots for traffic modules, as well as 2 interface slots for each optionally redundant switch plane, control plane and power supply module.
The Nimbra 688 uses the same set of interface modules as the Nimbra 680 and is the most powerful switch available, offering twice the access and trunk port count of Nimbra 680.
