Description

The CSP-7550 is a unique server-switch hardware appliance that is based on 8- or 16-core Intel® Xeon® processors. This switch system is inclusive of 32 QSFP28 (100 GbE) network ports that are based on a P4 programmable Intel Tofino chipset. All these components are neatly contained within a single 2RU chassis form-factor.

The Intel® Xeon® Purley platform is incorporated to increase CPU capacity and performance for virtual machine consolidation and density. It also boosts memory bandwidth with its four channels. The CSP-7550 design is flexible and supports 8 DDR4 DIMM slots per CPU. It also offers local storage options that include two SATA III or PCIe.

The hardware platform is truly open-ended. You can either install an available operating system and application software that suits your needs, or build your own customized device. This represents a solid future-proof investment. The CSP-7550 supports four open PCIe slots for customers to choose any standard FPGA, smart NIC, AI/ML etc PCIe cards for different applications.

The CSP-7550 also supports an optional FPGA card that has a high-speed (6x100G) connection to the Tofino 64Q chipset. Customers have the option to choose a SKU bundled with two or four Edgecore FPGA cards. With the FPGA cards, the CSP-7550 is able to support extra-large tables and service millions of HQoS sessions.

The CSP-7550 is an ideal solution for various applications such as load balancing (L4 and L7 network load balancer), firewall (virtualized security appliances), network visibility, performance monitoring, and mobile LTE/5G gateways (hybrid 4G/5G). Video
