The Force10 Networks TeraScale technology transforms the E-Series into the industry's first Terabit switch/router, delivering 1260 GE or 224 10 GbE ports per chassis. With the Force10 TeraScale technology, the E-Series can deliver up to 90 GE ports or sixteen 10 GbE ports per line card slot and process 1 billion packets per second.

Full redundancy of all key components and unparalleled density ensure predictable, line-rate performance with any combination of security filter ACLs, QoS, rate limiting, and congestion avoidance features.
