Enterasys Diamond Distributed Forwarding Engines (DFEs) are the latest innovation for the industry-leading Matrix N-Series flow-based switches. The new blades deliver increased security, routing and policy scalability for backbone roles in the core and distribution layers of your network.
The Diamond DFEs' flow-based architecture delivers end-to-end visibility and control over users, services and applications, as well as firewall-like security on every port for downstream devices through multi-user, multi-method authentication, authorization and audit.
Optimized for Secure Networks deployments, Diamond DFEs significantly increase the multi-user policy capacities of the Matrix N-Series. This increased capacity enables the Matrix N-Series to act as a policy gateway for downstream devices such as third-party switches, wireless access points, VPN concentrators, printers, IP phones and security cameras to ensure only authorized users and devices can access the network.
