A Superior Combination of Features and
High-Density, Wire-Speed Switch Routing
Enterasys' X- Pedition ER16 16-slot chassis-based routing
platform represents a new generation of enterprise-wide LAN/WAN
backbone solutions, providing the scalability, performance and
application control to meet the growing needs of enterprises in
the age of e-business. The X- Pedition ER16 provides a rich set
of application services including transparent web caching and
redirection, traffic prioritization and traffic shaping,
multilayer security, application load balancing, application
content verification and high availability. These services
ensure full application delivery—for e-commerce, enterprise
resource planning, voice-over-IP , customer relationship
management, and more—from the desktop to the WAN.
With up to 128 Gbps of non-blocking switch fabric and over 4
million Layer 4 application traffic flows, the X-Pedition ER16
provides the density needed to meet the requirements of the
enterprise environment.
The X-Pedition ER16's modular chassis design allows for a mix
of LAN backbone and WAN access technologies—whatever is
required to fit your particular networking
environment—ensuring the protection of existing investments.
You choose the connectivity, whether to legacy devices or to
high-bandwidth 10/100/1000 Ethernet technologies. Additionally,
the X-Pedition ER16 is designed to scale and handle newer,
high-capacity technologies such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The
X-Pedition ER16 maintains and delivers wire-speed performance no
matter how many services are turned on.
DEPLOY THE X-PEDITION ER16 IN ANY OF THESE
NETWORK ENVIRONMENTS:
Enterprise LAN Backbone / Data Center
Position the X-Pedition ER16 in the enterprise LAN backbone to
build a wire-speed router mesh with application-level traffic
control. In addition, an ER16 backbone allows network managers
to control application traffic via QoS and access lists
without compromising performance. Enterprise servers can
connect directly to the routed backbone, most commonly over
100 Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet links, to provide wire-speed
server access across the corporate intranet to client end
stations. Clients can then connect to the enterprise backbone
via Enterasys Matrix switching platforms, and/or smaller
X-Pedition product family members.
Enterprise WAN or Campus Backbone
Thanks to its support for a variety of long-haul Gigabit
Ethernet and WAN interfaces, the ER16 can also be positioned
as a campus and/or WAN backbone switch router. Use the ER16's
QoS capabilities to control application traffic over the
WAN—while maintaining performance. Enterprise servers can
connect directly to one of these routers in the enterprise
headquarters, either over 100 Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet links,
to provide wire-speed server access across the corporate WAN
intranet to client end stations.
Intranet / Extranet Data Center Solution
The ER16 is also an ideal solution to meet content hosting
needs for the intranet (intranet hosting, e-mail and
applications servers to serve internal users) as well as for
the extranet (partner communications, e-commerce servers, etc.
to serve external users). And, thanks to the ER16's security
features—which you can deploy in conjunction with VPNs,
firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and other such
devices—you're protected from internal and external network
attacks.
Application-Level Quality of Service
Based on Layer 2, Layer 3 and Layer 4 information, the
X-Pedition ER16 allows network managers to deliver
application-based QoS and traffic-shaping controls without any
loss of performance. Application awareness is an inherent
feature—not a software add-on. This is true for all X-Pedition
services including QoS and routing services.
The X-Pedition can guarantee bandwidth on an
application-by-application basis, thereby accommodating
high-priority traffic even during peak periods of usage. QoS
policies can be broad enough to encompass all the applications
in the network, or relate specifically to a single host-to-host
application flow.
By mapping business priorities into network policies, you can
assure that in any conflict over limited network resources,
business-critical applications will be handled with precedence.
For example, by defining a QoS rule that makes SAP/R3 more
important than HTTP traffic destined for the Internet firewall,
a congested network will forward SAP/R3 traffic while buffering
HTTP traffic.
Industry-Leading Capacity
Large networks require large table capacities for storing
routes, application flows, QoS rules, VLAN information and
security filters. The X-Pedition ER16 provides table capacities
that are an order of magnitude greater than most other solutions
available today, supporting 250,000 routes, 4,000,000
application flows and 1,600,000 Layer 2 MAC addresses. More than
4,096 VLANs, 20,000 security filters and large per-port buffers
provide the capacity to handle peak traffic across even the
largest enterprise backbones.
Secure Access
Enterasys solutions leverage extensive traffic filtering and
multilayer access control lists, as well as firewall
integration, for secure access serving internal and external
users. This not only protects the network from unauthorized
access, but also reduces the costs associated with external
network attacks or internal misuse of server and network
resources. Importantly, it allows IT managers to identify
devices, protocols, or even applications that should be limited
or contolled.
Unlike conventional routers, the X-Pedition's performance
does not degrade when security filters are implemented.
Wire-speed security, obtained through 20,000 filters, enables
network managers to benefit from both performance and security.
Filters can be set based on Layer 2, Layer 3 or Layer 4
information, enabling network managers to control access based
not only on IP addresses, but also on host-to-host application
flows.
Traffic Analysis and Capacity Planning
The X-Pedition paves the way for proactive planning of bandwidth
growth and efficient network troubleshooting with capacity
planning tools. Real-time intelligence can be gathered using
RMON/RMON2 applications and packet and frame statistics, all
combining for a robust source of network traffic data analysis.
Superior Fault Tolerance for 24 x 7
Availability
Built to ensure around-the-clock accessibility, the X-Pedition
ER16 offers redundant power, switch fabric and control modules,
designed to enhance performance through redundant links and
protect the network from failures. Network links may be trunked
together for physical link fail-over. Routing protocols provide
support for multiple-path fail-over, and VRRP provides network
availability in case a single device fails.
