10 GE Switches
Currently, almost all of iCAIR's cluster switches are high performance GE switches. Soon many will be replaced with 10 GE switches, employing new protocols that allow for more flexible network segmentation and dynamic vLAN provisioning.

Optical Switches
For over five years, iCAIR has been conducting research on and experimenting with all optical switches (O-O-O), based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS). Because these switches do not require electro-optical conversion, they are powerful lightpath provisioning technologies. iCAIR has developed integrated signaling and control plane software that can dynamically configure and reconfigure these devices.
