Advanced Layer 3 Modular Switch
The Allied Telesis SwitchBlade x908 industry-leading modular switch is the ideal 
solution for the modern enterprise network core where resiliencyreliability and 
performance are the key requirements. 
VCStack
TM
 provides excellent resiliency by allowing you to create a single "virtual 
chassis" from two physical devices. If one stacked device fails, traffic routes seamlessly 
to the other, preventing network disruption. VCStack delivers a resilient core at a 
fraction of the cost of a full chassis-based system, and it allows you to manage the 
stack as a single node on the network, greatly simplifying your management tasks.
The SwitchBlade x908 was designed with reliability in mind.  With dual power 
supplies, fan modules and a comprehensive range of expansion modules (XEMs), 
which are all hot-swappable, you can maintain and reconfigure when necessary 
without affecting network uptime. You can also expand your network core as 
required without replacing any hardware - simply add more XEMs from the range: 
10/100/1000Mbps in copper and fiber, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) fiber. 
High performance makes the SwitchBlade x908 an ideal core or aggregation 
device.  Enjoy low latency and wirespeed L3 routing in a compact 3 rack unit device, 
combined with a 640Gbps switching fabric. VCStack uses high-speed stacking links to 
deliver 160Gbps of backplane capacity.  Plus, the rich feature set and industry-standard 
CLI of the AlliedWare Plus
TM
 Layer 3 fully featured Operating System provide you 
with even greater robustness and ease of management. 
Key Features
Resilient - VCStack provides fast failover for uninterrupted network service. Sophisticated high availability features ensure traffic 
flow continues even during outages.
Scalable - Add more XEMs as your network grows. Create a VCStack to increase port density and resiliency without increasing 
management complexity.
Reliable - Hot-swappable XEMs, redundant hot-swappable PSUs and replaceable fans ensure no network interruptions during 
maintenance or reconfiguration.
High-performing - Non-blocking architecture and superior QoS ensure wire-speed delivery of all your critical IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.
Easy to manage - The industry standard CLI reduces training requirements, and each VCStack appears as one virtual chassis with 
a single IP address to simplify management. 
Secure - Advanced security features protect your network - from the edge to the core. NAC gives unprecedented control over 
user access to your network.
