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
