SDN Appliances

Software Definable Network Appliances™ (SDN-A™) are portable, robust, software programmable communications solutions for secure voice, video and data feeds over a variety commercial network technologies including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Cellular, MANET, SATCOM and more.

SDNA-HRW-BANKS

SDNA-HRW-BANKS

Software Definable Network-Appliance™

The latest cutting-edge addition to the portfolio of Software Definable Networking Appliances, the SDNA-HRW-BANKS, combines the capabilities of an “all WAN technology consuming” IP networking router, a 20 port Ethernet switch with 6 ports of 802.3at PoE, and an enterprise-class virtual machine server into a single Half Rack Width (HRW) appliance.

SDN-A Technology

A single SDNA-HRW-BANKS device can host a dozen or more Virtualized Networking Functions (VNFs) or virtualized application servers. VNFs can include IP routers, firewalls, certificate authorities, IDS/IPSs, Wi-Fi controllers, domain controllers, file servers, WAN acceleration VMs, RoIP media server VMs, and application server VMs, and many other virtualized appliances and servers. The SDNA-HRW-BANKS also provides Ethernet port density and Power over Ethernet to rival dedicated Ethernet switches.

Scalability with Expeditionary Networking Kits

The SDNA-HRW-BANKS is one of family of Half Rack Width appliances designed for use as standalone desktop appliances or within the Expeditionary Networking Kit (XNK) or the XNK–MINI Chassis Systems. The XNK-Mini is a carbon fiber VIP roller board case that is small enough to stow in an aircraft

Virtualization

Supports most commercial virtual machine hypervisors (VMware, Linux LVM, Xen, Hyper-V, virtual machine-based IP networking functions and application server technologies

Up to a 16 Core/32 Thread Intel Xeon processor/Up to 128GB of RAM/Up t0 16TB of NVME storage, capable of supporting MANY virtualized network functions or application servers running simultaneously

A single SDNA-HRW-BANKS device can host a dozen or more VNFs or virtualized application servers.
