High-speed serial switch fabric technologies are steadily replacing bus solutions, especially in the realm of high performance computing. Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing offers switching solutions for constructing systems based on these new technologies. Curtiss-Wright is a proven leader in providing switch technologies. With over 8 years of experience in switching fibre channel, Curtiss-Wright brings the most experience to the market and the most complete offering of technology. Curtiss-Wright has implemented solutions worldwide in both the commercial and military space. Industry leading companies such as Brocade, EMC, Engenio, Fujitsu, JNI, NASA, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, Northup Grumman, and Warner Brothers have purchased the Curtiss-Wright solution.
Physical Layer Switches are scalable, versatile, multi-purpose switches that provide protocol transparent, low-latency switching for digital signals up to 4 Gb/sec. With a Physical Layer Switch, network and system configurations can be made quickly and easily through an easy-to-use interface, thus saving time and money. They are available in a variety of form factors. Physical Layer Switches can handle a wide array of protocols including 1/2/4/8/10G Fibre Channel, 10/100/1000/10G Ethernet, FDDI, SONET/SDH OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, HD, SDI, as well as many non-standard protocols.
CWCEC's portfolio of advanced managed and unmanaged multi-layer gigabit Ethernet switching products provide the necessary infrastructure required to build scalable Intra-Platform Networks (IPNs) for rugged Netcentric applications. With scalable port combinations capable of forwarding IPv4 and IPv6 packets at wirespeeds, the CWCEC Gigabit Ethernet switches are ideal for connecting computer systems, subsystems, blades, and even CPUs using copper and/or optical fiber links.
