Ericsson releases Multi-Application Card for SSR

To meet the demand from the vast amount of traffic streams generated by new innovative cloud services, Ericsson has announced the release of a new multiple-application card that will support various services concurrently without compromising performance. This board in the Smart Services Routers (SSR) 8000 family is powered by SNP 4000 processor introduced by Ericsson in March 2013.

New application and service models such as network slicing – driven by the adoption of SDN, virtualization and cloud technologies in the network – require the kind of scale and processing power provided by the SNP 4000, to provide granular and personalized services with tens of millions of traffic flows.

Bob Wheeler, Senior Analyst, The Linley Group, said, Ericsson is the first vendor to develop a network processor that handles advanced features without compromising performance or the scale of services.

SNP 4000 ensures that the multi-application card delivers predictable line-rate performance and Quality of Experience (QoE) for consumers.
