OPTera Metro 1000 Ethernet Service Module

Overview

Service providers, seeking to extend their networks to the customer premises and to deliver differentiated Ethernet-based services cost-effectively to multiple customers, can leverage a new class of Optical Ethernet edge device - the OPTera Metro 1000 series of Ethernet Service Modules. The OPTera Metro 1000 series consists of three different platforms to meet Ethernet service delivery scenarios, i.e. multi-tenant service delivery providing Ethernet services on tenant floors, single unit/enterprise service delivery or delivery of services from a service provider point of presence:

• OPTera Metro 1200 Ethernet Service Module

• OPTera Metro 1400 Ethernet Service Module

• OPTera Metro 1450 Ethernet Service Module

The OPTera Metro 1000 series was designed to simplify the delivery of Ethernet services. Defining a new class of Optical Ethernet edge device, the OPTera Metro 1000 series serves as the customer demarcation point and entry ramp onto the service provider's network. As such, the OPTera Metro 1000 series offers the industry's first consistent Ethernet user-to-network (UNI) interface, delivering cost-effective, secure and scalable separation of customer traffic. In addition, the OPTera Metro 1000 series supports Nortel Networks industryunique Simple End Point Provisioning, significantly simplifying the provisioning of additions or changes to the network and driving faster time-to-revenue and customer satisfaction. The three NEBS-compliant products deliver a variety of access options to meet service demands and transport choices. The OPTera Metro 1000 series also features QoS to enable tiered services and profitable SLAs.

Like the OPTera Metro 1200, the OPTera Metro 1400 and 1450 Ethernet Service Modules (ESM) represent a new class of purpose-built, carrier-class edge devices that will enable service providers expand their addressable market for Ethernet services and to quickly and easily provision all types of Ethernet services.

When combined with other Nortel Networks' products such as OPTera Metro 8000 Services Switch, OPTera Metro 3500 Multiservice Platform, or OPTera Metro 5200 Platform, service providers can offer profitable virtual private LAN services over Fiber, and DWDM and reduce their operational costs. In an Ethernet over Fiber scenario, the innovative Logical Provider Edge (LPE) model is utilised to eliminate the scalability and bandwidth constraints of point-to-point, fully-meshed, or VLAN-based network models to offer virtual private LAN services. Acting as the Services Edge element in the LPE framework, the OPTera Metro 1000 family helps services providers:

• Increase the scalability of their service (up to tens of thousands of customers per metro), while simplifying the network

• Speed provisioning (up to 10 times faster than a comparable RFC 2547 solution) and time-to-revenue

• Reduce operational complexity (operational expense savings up to 60% can be achieved, as compared to RFC 2547 implementations). - For more information, read the Logical Provider Edge Technical Bulletin and/or the Optical Ethernet Business Case for Service Providers.

For the outbound and inbout traffic, the Alteon Link Optimizer will determine the best ISP link to sent out the traffic. The measurement of the best ISP link is determined on a sliding average weighted window to ensure that the best link is always chosen. At the same time, each of the ISP router is been checked regularly to ensure that the router can properly handle the traffic. The Alteon Link Optimizer assures that traffic returns via the same ISP link that the request originally specified for the client initiated. The symmetric traffic flow will ensure that each ISP handles both the ingress and the egress portion of a session.

Customer Profile

• Any business that is serious about securing their web and email traffic be it from an internal or external threat, is a prime candidate for the Alteon SSL Accelerator (ASA)

• Large government organisations, to companies providing e-Commerce or B2B services, who require encryption and/or authentication of their data without impacting the customer experience, will require the deployment of the Alteon SSL Accelerator (ASA)

The rich features of content switching are not compromised when security is required as fully-fledged intelligent switching is still achieved by using an Alteon Web Switch in conjunction with the SSL Accelerator. In addition securing of email services that support SSMTP, POP3S and IMAPS can be easily achieved using the Accelerator.

Typical Applications

Today’s most successful companies are using the Web to communicate with their customers, suppliers and partners because of the open and ubiquitous nature of the Internet. But the very openness of the Web makes security a concern. SSL,

combined with PKI, can provide a standard means of securing transactions, but each has possible drawbacks to your site’s performance and resources. SSL transactions can be so compute-intensive that they slow your site to crawl as Web servers are forced to handle key exchanges and bulk encryption. And PKI can take a toll in administration. The Alteon SSL Accelerator (ASA) has been specifically designed and enhanced to work with Nortel Networks industry leading Alteon Web Switch, to create a total solution that allows you to ensure security for you and your customers and to manage key administration centrally, all without losing the site performance that is truly critical to success. So one can enjoy the performance one needs with the strong security customers demand at a much lower cost than adding more servers, all in a highly scalable solution that is easy to integrate.

On line shopping and eBusiness services are the main applications that would benefit from this technology however as more emphasis is placed on security, internal and non-web based sites are being migrated to SSL to provide superior encryption and security.

Alteon SSL Accelerator (ASA)

Overview

The Alteon SSL Accelerator (ASA)is an innovative service delivery platform designed to provide a variety of value added traffic management applications that further extend the performance, scalability and flexibility of advanced Content Switching infrastructures. The Alteon SSL Accelerator (ASA) intelligently accelerates secure business transactions by offloading Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) processing from local servers without imposing delays on other traffic in the same data path. The SSL Accelerator also simplifies the way to deploy and maintain a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), enabling business critical electronic transactions. Purposebuilt to perform processing tasks with long duty-cycles that would otherwise bog down network performance, the SSL Accelerator seamlessly integrates with Alteon Content Switches to offer the best of Content Switching and IP appliance technologies.

Key Points

Scalability. Resilience. Manageability. Performance. These age old adages are at the cornerstone of the Alteon SSL Accelerator (ASA). Scaling to an excess of 150 000 key exchanges per second in a single SSL offload farm provides sufficient growth for even the busiest sites.

The ability to cluster the Accelerator not only allows for rapid fail over it also allows for unparalled management as all configurations and certificates are installed once through a common interface and automatically copied, using encryption, to all other devices thus providing a single point of management. All non SSL traffic is not impacted as this device sits out of the data path allowing only the SSL session to be forwarded to the Accelerator for processing thus increasing throughput of non secure traffic.

Features and Benefits

• The Alteon SSL Accelerator (ASA) can process SSL transactions 5 to 250 times faster than an HTTPS server

• A cluster of Accelerators can process up to 150,000 SSL sessions per second on a single Content Switch

• Centralised, advanced key and certificate management saves administrative costs and maintenance hassles

• Automatic import of keys generated by Apache, Stronghold, OpenSSL, IIS 4.0, Weblogic and PKCS12

• Scalable up to 256 hot swappable SSL Accelerators per Content Switch for performance and redundancy

• Supports multiple virtual SSL servers in activestandby mode for resilient SSL services

Alteon Switched Firewall (ASF)

Overview

The Alteon Switched Firewall (ASF) is a multi-component solution managed as a single system. The system is a tight confederation of two key components - an Alteon Switched Firewall Accelerator, plus up to six Alteon Switched Firewall Directors. The software is a combination of the Alteon Switched Firewall OS, providing session acceleration and switching functionality and the market-leading Firewall-1 software from Check Point.

The Alteon Switched Firewall Director performs policy checking for every new connection request, manages the connection table and specifies the rules for handling packets in a session. After a connection is established, the Alteon Switched Firewall Director passes its connection table to the Alteon Switched Firewall Accelerator. The Switched Firewall Accelerator applies the firewall rules at wire speed to subsequent packets within an existing connection. As a result, up to 90% of traffic is accelerated as these packets bypass the core firewall logic on the Switched Firewall Director. This unique acceleration technology, only found on the Alteon Switched Firewall System, makes it one of the leading high performance firewalls on the market.

Customer Profile

Today, businesses need to carefully manage both capital and operational expenditures, while continuing to quickly respond to changing IT infrastructure requirements. The Alteon Switched Firewall provides a data centre solution that meets customer’s needs to simplify operations and control costs. With security at the forefront of all network designs and with the use of the OPSEC certified software ensuring strong security as a given, this allows customers to focus on other aspects of deployment.

• Time sensitive applications such as Streaming and VoIP services will benefit from the very low latency imposed by the ASF

• Customers who have a large user base making multiple connections requiring raw throughput and session set up such as wireless users, will be able to leverage the power of the ASF

• Customers seeking to centrally manage a large deployment of global firewalls will benefit from the single management UI and the Check Point NG Management Platform

All of the above is underpinned by Check Point NG, the market leading, defacto industry standard security software.

Key Points

• Transparent deployment into existing Check Point firewall infrastructures leveraging Check Point’s advanced firewall and security management services.

• Overall simplification of firewall and hosting infrastructures in terms of deployment, day to day management and troubleshooting.

• Operation costs are minimised because administrators no longer must configure each firewall as added. The first firewall can be provisioned in less than 30 minutes with a configuration wizard. The Single System Image replication and management wizard capabilities of the Alteon Switched Firewall System makes adding new Alteon Switched Firewall Directors a plug and play operation.

• With its innovative architecture and plug and play provisioning of firewall resources, the Alteon Switched Firewall allows Enterprises and Service Providers to lower capital expenditures and increase their return on investment. Capital expenditures are reduced to a "pay as your traffic grows" flexible architecture.

• Protection of existing staff skills, training and processes while deploying advanced Alteon Switched Firewall services.
