10Aug [ENET] 運營商級智慧網卡 SmartNIC 針對網路虛擬和安全功能的加速

運營商級智慧網卡 SmartNIC 針對網路虛擬和安全功能的加速-- ENET ACE-NIC 100

Ethernity 公司的智能網卡具有 10/25/40/100G 千兆乙太網連接, 採用 FPGA 的方案和基於電信運營商級的 ENET 流處理技術構建, 為電信和企業 NFV 網絡提供了一流的性能和無與倫比的功能集。ENET 智慧網卡提供靈活的網路介面能力，先進的網路和安全硬體加速，以及軟體加速包和工具，所有這些都很容易集成在電信和企業的網路環境中。
雲和網路邊緣對安全性的需求不斷增長，需要對各種類型的資料進行加密和篩選。ENET ACE-NIC Gen2 解決方案通過 IP 安全(IPSec)通道卸載來提供安全加速，能與其它的覆蓋方法共同作用，比如 VxLAN 和 NVGRE 內聯處理，使 CPU 能力從繁重的安全處理中釋放出來，從而提高網路性能。

ACE-NIC Gen2 產品性能

I. 10/25/40G/100G SmartNIC
Ethernity 公司的智慧網卡 ACE NIC 提供靈活的 10/25/40 /100G 乙太網連接和可程式設計的 FPGA 加速流處理技術, 通過一個標準的適配器卡, 為網路服務運營商和企業資料中心提供一流的 NFV 和安全加速的單獨的解決方案。ACE NIC 智慧網卡提供靈活的 IO 功能和硬體加速，通過卸載 VNF、安全和覆蓋網路等功能，在網路性能、可擴展性、能耗和成本控制等方面優化虛擬基礎設施，並減少 OPEX 和 CAPEX 的成本。

II. 加速 NFV 工作負載
網路功能傳統上是由專用硬體 (如路由器、負載平衡器和防火牆) 處理的。網路功能虛擬化已將此類服務與硬體分離, 但犧牲了 CPU 效率。ACE NIC 智慧網卡採用 FPGA 可程式設計性來處理多用途智慧硬體上的 NFV, 從而加大了網路性能, 提高了靈活性, 並減少了支出。

III. 品質服務
ACE NIC 智慧網卡根據分級服務品質 (QoS) 級別管理、排定和操縱通信流, 支援硬體中的專用佇列, 根據優先順序來安排和調度流量

IV. DPDK
功能加速在大多數運營商雲基礎結構中, 封包交換是在 DPDK 的頂部處理的。這需要專用的 CPU 內核來管理流程、增加 CPU 使用率和降低可伸縮性。ACE -NIC 智慧網卡將 DPDK 功能卸載到 NIC 上, 降低了 CPU 開銷, 讓虛擬功能達到運營商級別 QoE, 從而使虛擬化提升了網路的優化性能和可伸縮性。DPDK 包中提供了一個完整的高端硬體加速功能清單，其功能性包括 H QoS、 Filters、Policer、IPSec 以及可卸載的其他功能。

V. 安全功能負載
Ethernity 的領先技術提供安全加速功能，通過使用或不使用 Tunneling（隧穿）技術的 IPSec 卸載以減少 CPU 開銷。在虛擬化環境中實施端到端加密安全的同時，傳統的負載功能如校驗等得以保持。ACE NIC 智慧網卡還可以通過 FPGA 硬體的完全可程式設計性來處理定制的卸載功能。

VI. 覆蓋網路功能負載
ACE NIC 智慧網卡把覆蓋網路流量 (VxLAN、NVGRE 等)的封裝/開封功能負載到適配器, 從而有效地管理 VM 流量, 確保共用網路基礎結構中的 VM 隔離, 並降低 CPU 的開銷。

08May [RAD] vAccess Shortlisted for Most Innovative NFV Product Strategy Award

RAD’s vAccess Shortlisted for Most Innovative NFV Product Strategy Award

Service Delivery and Assurance VNF Boosts White Box Performance

RAD, the industry pioneer of network edge virtualization, today announced that its recently released vAccess VNF for network edge virtualization was selected as finalist for Light Reading’s Leading Lights award in the category of Most Innovative NFV Product. The prize is awarded to the technology vendor that has devised the most innovative network functions virtualization (NFV) product strategy during the past year.

vAccess, which was commercially released in April, is RAD’s latest addition to its comprehensive vCPE Toolbox, which allows Service Providers to roll out vCPE services today without vendor lock-in. Part of RAD’s Service Assured Access solutions, it allows immediate deployment of value added SDN/NFV-based services over any access. vAccess upgrades any white box operating system to carrier-grade level by adding VNF assurance capabilities and, when combined with RAD’s pluggable physical network functions (P-PNF), adds missing network capabilities such as CE2.0 demarcation (with RAD’s MiNID) and interfaces such as xDSL, PON and legacy TDM.

“We are thrilled to have been shortlisted for the Leading Lights awards,” says Ilan Tevet, VP Marketing and Business Development at RAD. “This recognizes our commitment to deliver on the original promise of NFV and SDN – to allow service providers true freedom in selecting the best solutions that fit their needs and avoid vendor lock-in”.

A live demo of the multifunctional vAccess was successfully presented at the MPLS-SDN-NFV World in Paris in April and will be also shown at the upcoming Big Communications Event in Austin, Texas later this month. vAccess is already in use by a Tier 1 operator in North America. There it helps to extend the operator’s uCPE-based service beyond fiber access over traditional TDM circuits, which still make up 20 to 30 percent of deployments, especially in rural sites.

The winners will be announced at the Leading Lights awards dinner, which will be held on Monday, May 14, in Austin, Texas, the evening before the doors open to the Big Communications Event.

13Apr [Silvertel] 英商產品資訊 - IEEE802.3 bt PSE & PD modules

Ag6800 (PSE) and Ag5800 (PD) modules - High power 4 pair POE compliant to IEEE802.3bt

Many Silvertel customers are aware that the IEEE has been in drafting a new Power over Ethernet standard, 802.3bt for some time. This is a new higher power standard for delivering a maximum power of anywhere between 71W and 100W at the PD (depending on losses and cable lengths), over the full 4 pairs of wires in a CAT5E cable to improve efficiency and minimise losses at the higher power levels. This standard is now at Draft 3.2, to which release level Silvertel are preparing a new set of modules, the Ag6800 and Ag5800. Ag6800 will be a fully (draft) standards compliant 95W maximum output PSE module and will be released first, followed shortly after by the Ag5800 PD module delivering up to 100W of usable power to the end device. Both modules will be cost and footprint size optimised to provide state of the art solutions at market leading prices for our customers for the next generation of POE applications..

1. Ag6800 : Ag6800 module is a fully compliant to IEEE802.3bt (draft) for 4- pair Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE).
2. Ag5800 : Ag5800 IEEE (draft) compliant PD module is designed for high power POE applications. Conforming to the latest IEEE802.3bt (Draft) Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard.

04Mar [Eoptolink] 成都新易盛發佈全系列SMPTE SFP transceivers

Eoptolink provides a whole series SMPTE SFP transceiver for Digital Video in 6Gbps and 12Gbps

EOPTOLINK (SZ: 300502) has released Digital Video SMPTE 6G and 12G transceiver series. Video SMPTE SFP

Fiber Optic Transport of HD/SD-SDI It is becoming increasingly necessary and economically feasible to transport HD/SD-SDI signals over fiber instead of coaxial cable. The reasons are many including increased bandwidth, lower cabling cost, noise immunity and greater transmission distances.

Prior to 2006, several standards were used to define how SDI signals were to be transported over fiber. Now, there is one standard to define the many aspects and parameters of the fiber optic interface for the transmission and reception of SDI over fiber. SMPTE 297-2006: This standard defines the fiber optic interface for the transmission and reception of SDI signals at various data rates: 12G, 6G, SMPTE 259M: 143 through 360 Mbps SMPTE 344M: 540 Mbps SMPTE 292: 1.485 and 1.485/1.001 Gbps SMPTE 424M: 2.97 and 2.97/1.001 Gbps SMPTE 297-2006 defines many parameters of the optical interface for both a transmitting and receiving device with a fiber optic interface.

The input to a fiber Transmitter can be any one of the SMPTE coaxial-based standards indicated above. On the Receiver, the output will be of the same coaxial interface type of the Transmitter. The significance of the new 297 standard is that it allows for interoperability between fiber optic devices from different manufacturers that comply with the standard.
