Intelligent Services Switch: Integrated Ethernet Switch and Applications Server
Overview The rapid growth of the Internet has prompted the need for scalable network elements featuring the intelligence and high-performance to support bandwidth intensive applications. As the demands on the network change, the opportunity to add intelligence is everywhere. The rollout of new IP services typically requires the introduction of a new physical device on the network, whether it is a firewall, VPN, or other type of traffic-shaping device. Many service providers and network administrators are looking for alternatives, and consolidated platforms have become a viable option at data centers, central offices, and enterprise networks. One such consolidated platform is the intelligent services switch, which integrates an applications server with an intelligent Ethernet switch, thereby replacing multiple devices on a network.
