Multi-Dimensional Security & Reliability Mechanism Guarantees Ever-online Services

Security related design in ZXR10 8900E can be divided into five aspects, which are secure architecture, secure management and control, secure operating system, secure calculation and secure service.

Secure architecture: Redundant backup design has been put in place for the forwarding control engines. Fast active/standby switchover is supported. Redundant power supply module, fan module and clock module combined to make the switch more robust. What’s more, ZXR10 8900E supports intelligent inspection, control, warning and hot-swappable components.

Secure management and control: Independent control, monitoring and forwarding planes guarantee optimized equipment stability.

Secure operating system: support modular service, intelligent dynamical upload, parallel multi-module processing, flexible new service implementation, software-based intelligent hibernating program and non-stop service upgrade.

Secure processing power: Based upon multi-core CPU, ZXR10 8900E provides multi-thread parallel high-performance calculation to guarantee seamless connection of multiple planes.

Secure features: ZXR10 8900E supports L5 H-QoS, NSF, GR for OSPF BGP IS-IS LDP RSVP, LACP, ESRP, ZESS, VRRP+, OAM, BFD for OSPF BGP IS-IS LDP RSVP VRRP VPLS LSP, ECMP, IP FRR, DPI, MPLS OAM and MPLS TE FRR, etc.
Ready for Smooth transition to Cloud-Computing Platform, Saving CAPEX

ZXR10 8900E supports Virtual Switch Cluster (VSC), and VSC is a logical device composed by multiple devices virtually. VSC enhances cluster system capacity and port density, which accordingly enables simple topology and easy management.

8900E will support multiple data center technologies in the future, e.g. FCoE, TRILL and DCB.

The device provides the highest port density in the industry compared with the same level equipments from other vendors. The entire device supports 576*10G ports and 96*40G ports. So it can involve steadily to the main component of the “Cloud” core.

Flexible Interface combinations

ZXR10 8900E series Core switches offer following enhanced line card types: H5/S5/E5. The existing available line cards include: GE electrical/optical interface board, 10GE optical interface board, and 40GE interface board. Users have a wide selection of line card types to choose from, which could help cut the CAPEX a lot.

Efficient OAM Means Enhances Management

ZXR10 8900E supports extremely efficient OAM means to offer better management, for example Ethernet and MPLS OAM for better Qos; High performance BFD for speedy service recovery; Service Quality Analyzer (SQA) for performance monitoring.
