JESUITS - 'gadget'@TTS -Ep67- Enterasys D2 - Interop 2008

[geekg3rl]

Matt look so scared! Were you not being nice to him!?!?!

[Wupierto]

Really Father Robert?... Out of ALL of Interop, this was one of the coolest gadgets to show us??? There HAD to be something sexier than this. Of all of your shows, this was the first one that bored me. I guess that it was just too technical for me.

[gadgettts]

Wupierto, There is actually some very cool stuff at the show, I just haven't had that much time to edit down the footage. The NOC team has been here for about 8 days, sleeping 4 hours a day and spending the rest of time patching, manhandling equipment, troubleshooting problems and getting entirely too drunk. (Not me... I just bless the drunkies!)

I promise to get some cool, less-ITuberGeeky stuff to you soon... in any case.. thanks for watching.  Peace, Fr. Robert

...and don't forget the gambling. We ARE in Vegas...

[masterswordsmen]

pretty much a show on geekology

[masterswordsmen]

you guess should doe a show on teaching people like me how do do things like setup firewalls and explain how things work and what your talking about.

Can't find any online store selling this switch, please share where this can be purchased, thanks

[gadgettts]

These are BRAND new... give it a few days before you start seeing pricing online.

[kilimats02]

looking at the website, the company has a long product line, yet none can be found online for purchase. Are you sure the brand is selling to the public ? to me, it looks like it is gonna available only through partners which means to busineses only....

[Gobo42]

This is Matt. If you tell me where you are located I can get you in contact with a Sales Rep, however we do a lot of sales through partners such as CDW or Dell. The D2 started shipping in February to select customers and I believe is officially announced here at InterOp.

[JadedBeliever]

Good episode, nice to see at spokesperson for a product who really knows what he is talking about.

[gadgettts]

Thanks Jaded... This stuff is a little higher-level than we're accustomed to on the show, but it's fun stuff nonetheless. Peace,  Fr. Robert

[Gobo42]

Thanks. I'm not really a spokesperson, just an engineer. However if you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer them.

[poembyhardkatze]

explosionproof?!? What are they doing with their switches? X-D

[Gobo42]

The I-series is an insudtrial switch meant for harsher environments, such as oil rigs. it is UL Class 1, Div 2 A-D HazLoc certified, which means it will not generate sparks, and all connections are sealed.

It is also dustproof(IP50) so it has no fans, extreme temperature tolerant (-40C to 60C), and shock resistant (~50G trapezodial). There are also special MGBICs to provide fiber connectivity, and rubber plugs to seal any unused copper ports.

Slightly to technical for a networking semi-noob like me :D Still watched though. What's PPO?

Power over Ethernet

[IronBlood111]

first

[neelradhakrishnan]

I would swear at you but that's not appropriate.
