Combining a 24-core server-class QorIQ T4240 processor and VortiQa Open Network software provides a new level of performance and utility in a network services switching platform. The package combines the performance and efficiency of a traditional network switch with the manageability, flexibility, and security required for the software-defined networking (SDN) era.
The platform uses standards-based protocols such as OpenFlow, and supports manageability through OpenStack and OpenDaylight. It enables exceptional network security for virtualized environments by supporting high performance packet processing functions such as firewalling, intrusion detection and IPSEC over VxLAN. The system features a Linux OS, ODP datapath API, VMM acceleration and efficient implementation of programmable datapath. A version of this platform will be available from partner Advantech.
