“Green” Evaluation of Energy Consumption vs.

Cisco Catalyst 6509 and Foundry BigIron RX-16

Premise: High performance and a

broad list of features/functionality

are not enough today to make net-

work switches appealing to buyers.

Core and Data Center switches must

exhibit low power consumption,

since power saved over rival offer-

ings translates into a lower total

cost of ownership profile. In addi-

tion, these devices are preferred over

other rival offerings that are less

“energy conscious.”

xtreme Networks, Inc. commis-

sioned The Tolly Group to

evaluate the power consumption

of its BlackDiamond 8810 series

switch versus the power consumption

of the comparable core switches from

Cisco Systems, Inc. and Foundry

Networks, Inc.

Tolly Group engineers measured the

total watts consumed by the Black-

Diamond 8810 switch, a Cisco Cata-

lyst 6509 and a Foundry BigIron RX-

16. Power consumption measurements

were taken across more than a dozen

traffic load scenarios, ranging from no

load on the switch to a heavily taxed

load of eight 10GbE ports and 96

Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports.

Tests were conducted in January 2008.
