DES-85-48GE-TX-MPLS-L Use Case

High-Density Data Center Aggregation with DES-85-48GE-TX-MPLS-L

In a virtualized data center supporting 200+ VMs, IT teams deploy the DES-85-48GE-TX-MPLS-L 48-port gigabit electrical service board (RJ45) as a top-of-rack aggregator. It trunks server uplinks over MPLS to core switches, delivering low-latency, non-blocking throughput and seamless VM mobility. Benefit: Maximizes port density and throughput, reduces oversubscription, and streamlines capacity planning.

Campus Distribution Layer with MPLS-Powered VLAN Segmentation

A multi-building university implements the DES-85-48GE-TX-MPLS-L in each distribution closet to carry student, faculty and administrative traffic over MPLS-tagged VLANs. It enforces QoS policies per department and isolates sensitive research networks. Benefit: Ensures scalable 48-port expansion, secure traffic separation, simplified QoS management and consistent SLAs across campus sites.

Service Provider MPLS VPN Edge for Enterprise Connectivity

A regional telecom integrates the DES-85-48GE-TX-MPLS-L into its metro edge chassis to provision managed MPLS VPN services to 50+ branch offices. Each port delivers gigabit performance with advanced label-based forwarding and redundant links. Benefit: Provides rapid service onboarding, carrier-grade reliability and SLA-driven performance with high port density and simplified maintenance.
