Overview

The GDPOENET ES - 1048+ Series is key components of the NORT SYSTEMS portfolio of data center switches. The GDPOENET ES - 1048+ Series are purpose built 10GbE data center switches in compact and energy efficient form factors with wire speed layer 2 and layer 3 features combined with low latency and advanced features for software defined cloud networking.

Featuring a choice of 1U models the OS – 1048+ Series deliver high density 1/10G SFP+ based ports for flexible configurations supporting migration from 1/10G to 10/40G networks.

High Availability

The GDPOENET ES - 1048+ Series were designed for high availability from both a software and hardware perspective. Key high availability features include:

1+1 hot-swappable power supplies and four N+1 hot-swap fans

Color coded PSU’s and fans

Live software patching

Self healing software with Stateful Fault Repair (SFR)

Smart System Upgrade (SSU) and Accelerated Software Update (ASU)

Multi-chassis LAG for active/active L2 multi-pathing

Smart System Upgrade

Smart System Upgrade is a network application designed to address one of the most complicated and challenging tasks facing data center administrators –  network infrastructure maintenance. Changes to the underlying network infrastructure can affect large numbers of devices and cause significant outages. SSU provides a fully customizable suite of features that tightly couples data center infrastructure to technology partners allowing for intelligent insertion and removal, programmable updates to software releases and open integration with application and infrastructure elements.

Unified Forwarding Table

Cloud network scalability is directly impacted by the size of a switches forwarding tables. In many systems a 'one size fits all' approach is adopted using discrete fixed size tables for each of the common types of forwarding entry. The GDPOENET ES - 1048+ leverages a common Unified Forwarding Table for the L2 MAC, L3 Routing, L3 Host and IP Multicast forwarding entries, which can be partitioned per entry type. The ideal size of each partition varies depending on the network deployment scenario. The flexibility of the UFT coupled with the range of pre-defined configuration profiles available on the OS - 1048+ ensures optimal resource allocation for all network topologies and network virtualization technologies.
