IBM BladeCenter PN41 Overview

Overview:• New Specialized, high performance NGN Blade for Deep

Packet Inspection (DPI) of network traffic• DPI looks beyond addresses & ports into packets to deliver

unprecedented visibility, service control and security of network traffic. DPI enables whole new classes of applications

• Application examples available include:– P2P Control, DNS Defender, IPv6 Transition Gateway, Lawful

Intercept, Multi-level Security Guard, DDoS Protection

• Plus, open development environment language using Eclipse-based IDE enables rapid application development with rich services content

• Partnered with CloudShield Technologies of Sunnyvale, Calif. on core technology, application expertise and services

Benefits:• Secure and protect network Infrastructure; from ‘bots’, BGP,

Distributed Denial of Service and DNS attacks

• Lower costs: Save bandwidth by controlling Peer-to-Peer (P2P) traffic and insuring Quality-of-Service (QOS)

• Increase revenue with new service offerings and billing models with security and bandwidth/traffic allocations

IBM BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager helps you get the most from your I/O

What is BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager?

Software utility in the Advanced Management Module– Assigns and manages MAC and WWN addresses for blade deployment and re-deployment via a single AMM for up to 100

chassis

An optional stand-alone utility for advanced functions– Assigns and manages MAC and WWN address for blade deployment and re-deployment

– Creates blade failover pools and triggers event action plans

– Provides I/O parameter and VLAN migration in case of failover

Embedded switch enhancements– Has an easy-to-use GUI for switch configuration

– Allows switch stacking for network simplification
