Description: |
The unprecedented acceptance of the Internet as an essential business tool has created new opportunities for service providers, as well as new challenges. Among the challenges is the urgency of improving service availability as business customers become increasingly intolerant of unreliable IP services and demand SLAs. In addition, the steep upward trajectory in IP service demand has introduced new requirements for scaling the network. This involves not only increasing network capacity and packet-forwarding rates, but also ensuring that the operating software that supports routing protocols and packet forwarding processes is also scalable, robust, and highly resilient. Finally, margin and competitive pressures are motivating interest in IP services beyond basic Internet access but uncertainty about what new IP services will predominate over the long term, or even what protocols or data encapsulations will be required to implement them, complicates decision making about suitable platforms.
The SmartEdge™ 800 Router, a member of the SmartEdge family of carrier-grade networking platforms, is targeted at IP dedicated access services, as well as hosting and network based storage sites and backbone core applications. The product is distinguished by a number of features for providers focused on delivering highly available IP services today, and having total flexibility to support new IP services in the future. |
