Accton, Greenfield and IP Infusion Partner on Metro Ethernet Switch

Accton Technology Corporation, Greenfield Networks, and IP Infusion released an ODM system for metro Ethernet switching applications. The Accton ES4825 supports 24 ports of Gigabit Ethernet and a modular slot for 10-Gigabit uplinks in a compact 1RU form factor.


The switch is based on Greenfield's Packetry switching silicon architecture and IP Infusion's ZebOS Advanced Routing Suite and Advanced Integration Suite (ARS & AIS). It delivers full Layer 2 and Layer 3 metro Ethernet services, including IPv6, MPLS, VPLS, stacked VLANs, and VLAN translation, across all ports at wire speed.


The switch is targeted for high density copper installations. A second version is available for high density fiber-based applications.


Accton is a leading ODM supplier based in Taiwan.
