VSS(Virtual Switch System)Virtual Cluster Switching Technology

The X54260 series supports innovative VSS virtualization cluster switching technology that can virtualize multiple physical devices into a logical device. The virtual system offers unparalleled performance, reliability, flexibility, and management compared to independent physical devices.

 Doubled performance: The virtualized system can fully utilize each link between physical devices, avoiding link blocking by traditional network models’ spanning tree protocols. This maximizes performance and protects existing link investments.

 High reliability: Based on advanced distributed processing technology, the logical control plane and business data plane are separated through efficient cross-physical device link aggregation. This provides uninterrupted Layer 3 routing forwarding, avoiding business interruptions caused by single point failures and greatly improving the reliability of the virtual system.

 Flexibility: With the X54260 series’ virtual cluster functionality, the distance of the virtual cluster system can be extended up to 80 kilometers. This flexibility breaks the geographical limitations of traditional clustering technologies.

 Easy management: The entire virtual system achieves unified management with a single IP. The actual physical devices are transparent to users, simplifying network device and topology management. This significantly improves network operation efficiency and effectively reduces operation and maintenance costs.
