Super Micro Computer has extended its Ethernet switching product line with a new high-performance, 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch. The new SSE-X24S is a standalone 1U top-of-rack switch that will appeal to IT professionals looking to enhance their networks with cost-effective 10-Gigabit performance. The SSE-X24S has 24x SFP+ 10GbE ports, 1:1 non-blocking connectivity, management options of CLI and/or web GUI, redundant hot-swappable power supplies and the full range of features expected in an enterprise-grade rackmount switch. This switch is also available in a data-center-friendly reverse air-flow model (SSE-X24SR) for improved cooling when installed in the rear of a rack. Supermicro network switch solutions also include high-density, 1/10GbE 1U aggregation switches SSE-G24-TG4 (24-port) and SSE-G48-TG4 (48-port) with flexible support for two optional dual-port CX4, XFP or SFP+ 10GbE uplink modules. Paired with Supermicro's integrated 10GbE LAN on motherboard (LOM) systems, these switch products deliver a complete, affordable, end-to-end server, storage and networking solution.

"Supermicro takes pride in opening access to advanced network switching solutions for any performance or cost-conscious IT professional or decision maker of SMB, enterprise, data center, or cloud deployments," said Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. "With the latest SSE-X24S, Supermicro customers can catch the 10GbE networking wave with a switch designed for compatibility with our full range of high-performance, high-efficiency data center server products."
