Enterprise Express Router™

Case Communications ImageStream Enterprise Express Router™ is the flagship of the Industrial Series router line. It includes premium features like dual XEON® processors, multiple buses, redundant power supplies, and dual gigabit ethernet ports. The Enterprise can handle the most challenging routing applications as it delivers wire-speed performance with T1/E1, DS3/E3, OC3/STM1 and OC12/STM4 circuits.

The Enterprise Express includes a steel 5U 19-inch rackmount chassis, a high-performance dual Intel quad core, 2GB memory, and dual 10/100/1000 ethernet ports. The Enterprise Express is also designed for high reliability, and features a dual input redundant AC power supply, hot-swap chassis cooling fans, and flash storage with no moving parts.

The Enterprise Express accepts Industrial Series LAN and WAN adapters. These add-on cards make it possible to route networks with fractional and full T1/E1, fractional and full DS3/E3, OC3/STM1, OC12/STM1, ethernet, basic rate ISDN (BRI), and 56 K dial-up connections. The Enterprise Express takes advantage of Case Communications ImageStream Inetics™ platform, which includes modular support for WAN protocols including PPP, Cisco HDLC, frame relay, and ATM. Inetics also makes it easy to troubleshoot LAN and WAN connections by providing real-time status and performance monitoring. The Enterprise Express is a cost effective, full-featured router for midrange ISP applications and corporate networks where dynamic routing, scalability, and redundancy are required. It is an excellent choice for multihomed networks where multiple high-speed circuits and advanced features are deployed.

The Enterprise is commonly used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) as a core router for multihomed networks where dynamic routing, multiport T1/E1, DS3/E3, OC3 and OC12 connections are deployed. The Enterprise is a low-cost, full-featured router for midrange ISP applications and corporate networks where scalability and redundancy are required.

The Enterprise Express is very scalable with its dual XEON® processors and 1 x8 + 1 x4 PCIe, 8 PCI-X 133 and 3 PCI interfaces. The four buses (A, B, C and D) are PCI-X 133 uses that operate independently at speeds up to 8 Gbps, providing an aggregate bus bandwidth of up to 32 Gbps. Bus A is shared by the on-board 10/100/1000 ports, and can operate at a maximum clock speed of 100 MHz when additional cards are installed on the bus.

The PCIe and PCI slots accept LAN and WAN adapters including all Industrial Series network cards. With these add-on cards, the Enterprise Express can route between multiple IP networks using 56/64 K DDS, fractional and full T1/E1, fractional and full DS3/E3, OC3, OC12, token ring, ethernet, 802.11a/b/g wireless, ADSL, basic rate ISDN (BRI), and 56 K dial-up modem connections.

The Enterprise Express takes advantage of the Case Communications ImageStream Linux™ router distribution, which provides support for NAT firewall security, IPsec and SSL virtual private networks (VPNs), quality of service (QoS), VLAN tagging, VRRP for LAN failover, dynamic routing, packet filtering, bridging, peer-to-peer traffic control, and more. Case Communications ImageStream Linux also includes the Inetics platform, which provides a tightly integrated Linux kernel, management software, and the Inetics Driver Component Architecture (IDCA). IDCA supports WAN protocols including PPP, Cisco HDLC, frame relay, ATM, and SoftCell™ ATM. Inetics also makes it easy to troubleshoot LAN and WAN connections by providing real-time port status and performance monitoring.

The Enterprise is an ideal solution for applications that require wire-speed performance with superior scalability and built-in power supply redundancy. The router supports IP firewall security, IPsec virtual private networking (VPN), and a wide range of other powerful features. The Enterprise will work where most Cisco 7200, 7600 and 12000 series routers are used.

The Enterprise is commonly used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) as a core router for multihomed networks where dynamic routing, multiport T1/E1, DS3/E3, OC3 and OC12 connections are deployed. The Enterprise is a low-cost, full-featured router for midrange ISP applications and corporate networks where scalability and redundancy are required.
