“ADLINK’s OCCERA platform efficiently integrates network I/O, switching and computing power and the open architecture gives network security solution providers a powerful hardware platform to work with,” said Dr Yang Chuan-An, chief architect of NSFOCUS, a leading provider of enterprise-level network security solutions and services. “OCCERA platforms feature expansion capabilities that allow NSFOCUS to build scalable high-end carrier-grade network security solutions. With the CSA-7400’s rich I/O options, NSFOCUS is able to build solutions that support cross-industry deployment, reducing the overall hardware costs. In addition to hardware, ADLINK also includes middleware such as PacketManager with API libraries that speed up system validation, allowing security vendors to focus on their core competence and shorten time-to-market. We believe continued cooperation with ADLINK will help us to provide even more advanced and creative solutions in the future.”

Features of the CSA-7400 include:
- 4U high-density platform with four dual Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 v3/v4 systems
- Dual switch modules provide 2x 50G internal Ethernet links to each compute node
- Support for hardware based acceleration for processing NVGRE and VXLAN, assisting the construction of large layer 2 networks in the cloud
- Support for the IPMI 2.0 specification, web-based intelligent system management, and SOL on compute nodes
- Dual redundant power supply units providing active power management on compute nodes and flexible power limit polices
- Support for PacketManager software to provide data plane software stacks for dynamic layer 3 and flow-based forwarding, accelerating development of customer applications
- Support for hardware acceleration for Open vSwitch and OpenFlow protocol processing, accelerating SDN services
