DPX17000 Security Network Core L2-7

The DPX17000 Series is designed with a cutting-edge CLOS architecture, separated control plane and forwarding plane, and relatively independent master control engine and switch boards. In this way, it helps greatly improve device reliability while laying a foundation for future bandwidth upgrades. With an innovative semi-slot design concept, it offers users with more flexible expansion methods and fully satisfies the application requirements of next-generation enterprise network for a fundamental IT platform.

DPX17000 Series makes an innovative progress from network security to security network. Moreover, the traditional blacklist mechanism has evolved to the whitelist concept centered on management and control.

Relying on VSM and OVC technologies independently developed by DPtech, the DPX17000 Series converts multiple similar service modules into a flexible scheduling resource pool, thus enabling a granular management of business platform resources and improving the utilization of resources. In conjunction with UMC management platform, it provides users with automatic management and operation and maintenance solutions.

Combing switching&routing, network security and application delivery, the DPX17000 Series becomes the first to realize the deep integration of layers 2 ~ 7. All service modules in a single device can be managed based on a single IP, making it simple to establish complex networking.

With a series of rich business scalability capabilities, the DPX17000 Series provides more than 10 service slots including iNAC, application delivery, application firewall, IoT application security control system, IPS, Unified Audit Gateway (UAG) and traffic control, anti-DDoS system, WAF, vulnerability scanning, and wireless controller.

The hot elastic service expansion technology can made dynamic adjustments to service modules without restarting the device, enabling plug-and-play on-demand deployment of services.

With strong network adaptability, it offers full support of QoS, IPv4/IPv6 routing, MPLS VPN and other network services.

Based on the innovative “service chain” concept, the DPX17000 Series is able to provide refined definition to data streams according to portfolio policies, customize data flow directions among various service modules, remove limitations of traffic scheduling between different service modules, and realize flexible scheduling at the business layer.

The DPX17000 Series supports mainstream Overlay standards such as VXLAN to address the issue of multi-tenancy. It offers a flexible virtual machine migration solution so as to meet users’ needs for large-scale server deployment and cross-domain connectivity in cloud computing environments. It is compatible with Openflow1.3 protocol, and offers multiple controllers and multi-level flow tables. It can serve as Openflow-hybrid to allow Openflow operations and standard Ethernet switching simultaneously.

The DPX17000 Series supports a maximum of 20 expansion slots and is backward compatible with the DPX8000 Series boards to protect users’ investment effectively.

Fully redundant hardware architecture DPX17000 Series supports master control board 1+1 redundancy, switching board N+1 redundancy, fan module 1+1 redundancy, power supply module N+M redundancy. It supports uninterrupted restart, hot fixes, separated data/control/monitoring planes and other technologies, ensuring 99.999% carrier-grade reliability. It supports BFD, OAM and other fast fault detection technologies, and provides a series of device-level and network-level fault detection methods.

In response to an orthogonal architecture of service boards and switching boards, the DPX17000 Series is equipped with multiple innovative cooling technologies such as a dual air duct design, increasing heat radiation efficiency by 30%.

It is capable of performing temperature detection on key components such as service boards and switching boards. Based on the temperature and configuration of each component, it can realize intelligent fan speed regulation, reduce power consumption and environmental noise, and guarantee energy efficiency.
