MX240BASE-AC-LOW Use Case

Tier-1 ISP Core Backbone Aggregation with MX240BASE-AC-LOW-CHASSIS MIDPLANE 1 RE 1 SCB 2 AC PEMS

A leading Tier-1 Internet service provider deploys the MX240BASE-AC-LOW-CHASSIS MIDPLANE 1 RE 1 SCB 2 AC PEMS in its core POPs to aggregate 100 GbE and 400 GbE traffic while maintaining sub-200 ms failover. The redundant Routing Engine (RE) and two AC Power Entry Modules deliver carrier-grade uptime (99.999%), seamless control-plane protection, and non-stop routing. Outcome: maximized backbone throughput, minimized service disruption, and reduced mean time to repair (MTTR).

High-Availability Data Center Interconnect for Financial Trading

A global financial institution uses MX240BASE-AC-LOW-CHASSIS MIDPLANE 1 RE 1 SCB 2 AC PEMS to link geographically dispersed trading hubs over dark-fiber DCI. The integrated Switch Control Board and midplane architecture ensure sub-millisecond convergence and deterministic latency under extreme load. Dual AC PEMs safeguard continuous operation during utility failures. Outcome: guaranteed low-latency order execution, compliance with FINRA/SEC regulations, and 24×7 business continuity.

Scalable Edge Aggregation for Cloud Video Streaming

A global streaming platform deploys MX240BASE-AC-LOW-CHASSIS MIDPLANE 1 RE 1 SCB 2 AC PEMS at major edge PoPs to handle unpredictable traffic surges and dynamic channel mix. Modular fabric capacity and real-time network telemetry on the Routing Engine enable on-the-fly service provisioning and automated traffic steering. Dual hot-swap AC PEMs provide redundant power for continuous broadcast. Outcome: rapid edge scaling, 40% reduction in OPEX through automated orchestration, and seamless viewer experience during peak events.
