CASwell CAR-5056是用于负载平衡的顶级服务器交换机, network gateway and other typical applications by cloud and communication service providers or data centers. This high-end dual Intel Xeon system uses a programmable Intel Tofino Ethernet Switch that can be amplified by Intel Stratix 10 FPGA modules to raise performance and functionality levels even higher.
云 Service Providers (CSP) need a lot of storage and network servers for a comprehensive, 安全快速的云体验. CAR-5056通过用作服务器交换机来支持这些皇冠体育, 负载平衡器和网络地址转换.
Communication Service Provides (CoSP) and mobile networks first and foremost need to provide a fast network for their users and enterprise customers that’s stable, 安全可计费. The CAR-5056 supports these applications when used as a broadband network gateway, DNS服务器或网络包代理.
Many data centers on the other hand need application delivery controllers (ADC) to remove load from the web servers and also provide load balancing. CAR-5056可以用作ADC，甚至可以用于服务器运行状况监视.
柔性高端平台
CASwell CAR-5056基于两款第二代车型. 英特尔至强可扩展处理器. 这些处理器提供多达28个核心, this platform delivers next-generation network capabilities thanks to its disruptive levels of compute performance coupled with memory and I/O advances designed for compute-hungry and latency-sensitive applications. Intel© QuickAssist Technology (Intel© QAT)) is supported to accelerate encryption/decryption performance in cloud, 网络, 大数据, 存储应用. Each CPU can be combined with up to 10 DIMMs for a maximum of 640GB main memory.
The CASwell CAR-5056 offers data plane programmability with P4 on its Intel Tofino 64Q Switch. 该模块通过PCI Express 3连接到两个Intel至强处理器.0表示高带宽, delivers better performance at lower power and provides 32 Ethernet ports with 100 Gigabit speeds. This P4-programmable Ethernet switch ASIC delivers more flexibility for data centers. Companies can monitor and control packet processing and update protocols in software to deliver customized performance for specific workloads at scale.
The CASwell CAR-5056 is also prepared to host four Intel Stratix 10 GX FPGAs. The FPGA modules are also connected to both Intel Xeon CPUs by PCI Express 3.0 and support the Tofino switch module via 20 Ethernet ports to meet the high-performance demands of high-throughput systems. These devices are optimized for FPGA applications that require the highest transceiver bandwidth and core fabric performance.
用例
Popular websites need to serve up to millions of concurrent requests from users or clients and return the correct content fast and reliably. These websites often use many scaled-out servers to take care of high volumes. They therefore need a load balancer to act as a “traffic cop” routing client requests across all servers to maximize speed and capacity utilization.
The CASwell CAR-5056 can effectively use its switch and FPGA modules for load balancing to distribute client requests or network load more efficiently across multiple server, and ensure the highest availability and reliability of the connected websites.
Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) is an edge device of the IP network and the access point for subscribers, 通过它连接到宽带网络. It aggregates user sessions and is responsible for authentication, authorization and accounting. 作为服务提供商不仅需要更高的带宽, a CAR-5056 BNG can offer value-added services to reduce churn and drive new revenue through its flexibility and network functions virtualization. The CAR-5056 can be configured for both spine and leaf applications in this widely used architecture by adding or removing the FPGA modules.
The CAR-5056 ADC helps applications to direct user traffic in order to remove the excess load from two or more servers. 这也包括负载平衡. Other features provided by the CAR-5056 ADC could include IP Traffic Optimization, 交通链接/指导, SSL卸载, Web应用防火墙, DNS系统和其他应用. Content redirection as well as server health monitoring are possible advanced features. 在电信基础设施中使用时, the CAR-5056 ADC can also provide various homegrown and value-added services in Gi-LAN areas.
尤其是通信服务提供商, cloud service providers and enterprises with high internal 网络 workloads should benefit from using the CAR-5056. Network and security appliance companies can use the CAR-5056 as an upgraded next-generation unified threat management device.
结论
The CASwell CAR-5056 is the best Server Switch for 云 and Communication Service Providers as well as data centers looking for a powerful solution for their increasing 网络 needs. The 英特尔至强可扩展处理器 already represent a high-performance platform but integrating the Intel Tofino Ethernet Switch module and the Intel Stratix 10 FPGAs add flexibility through programmability and even more performance.
