Network search engine
accelerates security module

Alaxala Networks is using the IDT 75N43102 network search engine in its new PSU-43 security module, which has been integrated into the company's AX7800S series switches

Alaxala Networks Corporation is using the IDT 75N43102 network search engine (NSE) in its new PSU-43 security module, which has been integrated into the company's AX7800S series switches. Featuring packaging that is up to 50% smaller than competing solutions, the IDT 75N43102 NSE is the industry's smallest form factor NSE.

The advanced search capability of the IDT75N43102 NSE accelerates searches for certification and inspection of VLAN traffic being aggregated by the PSU-43 security module.

The small footprint and advanced search capability of the IDT 75N43102 NSE makes it an ideal solution for the PSU-43 security module which combines MAC VLAN support in a form factor that can occupy up to eight slots on a AX7800S series chassis.

Formed in Japan in October 2004 as a joint venture between Hitachi and NEC Corporation, Alaxala is focused on the business of supplying highly reliable backbone routers/switches for telecommunications networks.

In addition to the capabilities of the PSU-43 security module, the company's AX7800S Series switch offers 384Gbit/s backplane switching performance, and can support up to 384 1G Ethernet ports and 32 10G Ethernet ports, which is an industry-leading number of ports for the height of the chassis.

The switches allow for ultra-fast 10G processing of IPv4 and IPv6 protocols simultaneously, while providing support for IPv4/IPv6 dual stacks and IPv4/IPv6 combined network environments.

'In addition to the security benefits we gained by selecting the IDT NSE, the device's small form factor enabled a smaller system footprint, which minimised board space and allowed our engineers to have more flexibility for their design', said Hiroyuki Eguchi, Senior Manager of Carrier Product Development Department, Alaxala Networks Corporation.

'The IDT 75N43102 brings the functionality, cost and size benefits that will help Alaxala continue to expand its business and deliver on its mission of enabling highly reliable and secure 'guaranteed networks' for worldwide markets'.

'Leveraging the combined engineering efforts of its venerable parent companies, Hitachi and NEC, Alaxala has developed an innovative solution, and we are excited to be a part of their design', said Dave Cech, Director of Marketing for the IDT IP Coprocessor Division.

'The IDT 75N43102 NSE enables Alaxala to achieve a highly efficient and flexible design, while realising the benefits of added search and table management functions'.
