ip|engines

Self-managed ip|engines are installed at edge locations of the WAN (typically between a CPE router and LAN). They require no individual configuration, except their IP addressing information. ip|engines operate under control of the central management software (IMSS or SALSA).

All ip|engines communicate with each other to form a synchronized and distributed system. A range of ip|engines exists to fit different WAN link capacities. Each ip|engine has auxiliary ports for system extension and mechanical fail-safe to ensure traffic continuity in case of failure.

Designed for branch offices, the ip|e 5ax offers the highest performance in its price range and form factor. This 230x200x33mm (9x8x1.3in) compact device handles WAN traffic of up to 8Mbps symmetrical bandwidth and 20/2Mbps for ADSL. The ip|e 5ax has an 80GB disk for enhanced redundancy elimination capabilities, and it is ideal for branch offices fitted with modern ADSL2+ or SDSL links.

For data centers and high-capacity sites, the ip|e 1800ax is a carrier-grade device able to manage up to 1Gbps of WAN traffic. In stacked configuration, it offers scalability up to 10 Gbps. It includes redundant power supplies and three 750GB hot-swappable disks. In the middle of the product line, there are the ip|e 120ax, ip|e 140ax and ip|e 1000ax models, each tailored to cope cost-effectively with its own range of WAN access bandwidths.
