Communications Appliance

Integrated Solution for Security, Packet Processing and Control and Data Plane Services

The Adax Communications Appliance provides robust, high-speed, security functions, packet processing and control and data plane services for any network node or telecom application server. The result is excellent system performance and unparalleled ease of integration in a cost-effective 1U or 2U platform that delivers all the advantages of ATCA at a significantly lower price point.

Multiple Communications Appliances can be interconnected for greater scalability. Utilizing the embedded services of both the industry-leading Intel Xeon processor and Cavium Octeon II family of multi-core processors, the Adax Communications Appliance is specifically designed for networking, security, packet filtering and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and provides a high performance solution for those demanding telecom applications. The Intel processor hosts the application, for example for charging and billing, and the Cavium OCTEON II processors provide front-end packet processing processing of Layer 2 protocols and hardware acceleration of SCTP, M2PA, DPI, and IPsec with efficient separation and processing of both control and data plane flows.
