Advanced Service Edge (ASE 3300) Appliance Overview
AFORE´s ASE is a purpose built platform designed to interconnect data centers over any media, including IP, MPLS, Metro Ethernet, PDH and fixed wireless networks. Its unique Virtual Fiber and Virtual Wire capabilities provide the key features required for long distance virtualization.
Regulatory compliance requirements and growing security threats are the reality for all enterprises. AFORE’s ASE provides network security solutions for all data in motion regardless of application, protocol, or network infrastructure. ASE is designed with real enterprise requirements in mind, providing:
- wire speed encryption (AES-256 encryption)
- low latency
- secure data protection
- split horizon management
- global encryption key management
Long Distance Virtualization for WAN/Cloud extension
Scaling your IT infrastructure requires high speed, low latency connectivity that extends virtualized computing and storage across WAN’s.
AFORE’s Virtual Fiber simplifies wide area connnectivity providing the ability to:
- Leverage lower cost IP, MPLS & Ethernet wide area connectivity.
- Reduce dependency on dark fiber or dedicated circuits.
- Multi-Protocol transport for Ethernet and Fibre Channel.
- Encrypt all critical data in motion.
- Mitigate packet loss and effects from WAN errors.
AFORE’s Virtual Wire capability provides transparent, optimized bandwidth, easily allowing for:
- End-to-end virtual machine migration.
- Transparent packet size adaptation at wire speed to match computing, storage & wide area requirements.
- Reduction in protocol latency and round trip delay effects.
- Ability to drive more throughput with existing bandwidth.
- Enables path protection, load sharing and failover architectures.
- Optimizes path selection based on latency and packet loss.
