Long Distance Data Center Virtualization Extension

As application hosting and cloud computing continues to grow, combined with disaster recovery and rigorous application availability requirements, virtualization strategies must now extend between multiple data centers. LAN-like performance is needed to interconnect users, applications and services. Enabling live data migrations, while achieving 100% application up-time, is easily implemented using the ASE3300. Vital for enterprises, System Integrators, Managed Service Providers, and any one operating Data Centers, the ASE3300 is a key element in designing disaster recovery networks, with the highest levels of application availability and performance. The ASE3300 reduces complexity for data center operators, eliminating days of planning, costly workarounds, and application downtime.

Optimize WAN Router Performance using the AFORE ASE3300 Network Appliance

Current wide area network routers are challenged to keep up with increasing and rigorous packet processing demands. As more sophisticated quality of service and traffic engineering requirements emerge, today’s typical router based architectures often struggle to maintain adequate performance levels for key areas namely throughput, latency, and jitter. The AFORE Advanced Service Edge (ASE3300) is often deployed as a router offload appliance, dramatically improving the performance of existing router networks by offloading certain performance intensive functions. The ASE3300’s purpose built hardware based processing engines achieve wire rate performance, ultra low latency, and no jitter for all traffic types.

Increase Bandwidth and Deliver New Services on Microwave Networks Using ASE3300

Many network operators are turning to microwave communication systems as alternatives to leased lines for both mobile backhaul and business services applications. The AFORE Advanced Service Edge 3300 (ASE3300) significantly improves the performance of microwave systems, and enables microwave networks to fully address a wider array of revenue generating services. While the ASE33000 increases the available capacity of fixed wireless networks, it also enables microwave systems for enhanced services.

Research and Education Network Optimization Case Study

A University required high performance Layer 2 connectivity between two campus locations to support research initiatives involving extensive information and data processing. In order to maximize the use of a shared IT infrastructure, the University required a high performance method to extend local area network (LAN) communications over an IP network between sites. The ASE3300 dramatically increased performance when alternative solutions could not meet the required performance.

Solving the Jumbo Frame Networking Challenge

Bandwidth intensive data center applications have driven new requirements to wide area networks. Many advanced applications today implement jumbo frames as a way of optimizing application performance. While easily transported within the four walls of an enterprise’s local area and storage area networks, transporting jumbo frames across service provider networks may pose many challenges. Customers are using the AFORE ASE3300 to extend applications requiring jumbo frames over non-jumbo frame equipped 3rd party networks without incurring performance penalties.
