Connect Gates Recommendation:
• Connect Gates recommends the D-Link DES-7210-BASE for large enterprise and MAN projects that require a high-density modular chassis platform with strong scalability and redundancy.
• It is an ideal choice for core and distribution layers where the project needs large port capacity, 10G uplinks, dual control module design, and flexible power supply planning.
• The DES-7210-BASE is especially suitable for factories, campuses, hotels, large business buildings, and telecom/service provider environments.
• For best performance, Connect Gates recommends designing the chassis with suitable CPU modules, line cards, redundant power supplies, fan tray, ASE modules if MPLS/NAT/IPFIX is required, and fiber transceivers according to the project topology.
