Automate Installation & Easy Deployment
The Asterfusion CX-M switch supports ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning), which be able to retrieve configuration files from local or remote file servers and then load the configurations into the switches automatically.
ONIE (open network install environment) is also preloaded on the switch.With ONIE, it can automatically install, upgrade and manage different versions of network operating system software. This combination of ZTP and ONIE would allow data center administrators to cut down the OAM workload and hence significantly reduce the overall operational cost.
01 / Ultra Low Latency Cloud Data Center Switch by using Marvell Teralynx
The Asterfusion CX532P-N offers industry-leading low latency switching capabilities as low as ~400ns in most application scenarios. Allowing it to more than satisfy the requirements of latency-sensitive applications, such as NVME, IoT,VR/AR/MR,high-frequency trading, big data analysis, machine learning and etc.
02 / Asterfusion SONiC NOS Support RDMA over Converged Ethernet (ROCE)
The Asterfusion CX532P-N supports RoCEv2 which allows remote direct memory access (RDMA) over an Ethernet network. It solves the delay of server-side data processing and frees up the CPU to do more important tasks, such as running applications and processing large amounts of data. It increases bandwidth and reduces latency, jitter, and CPU consumption, helping to build highly efficient and cost-effective data center networks.
03 / Asterfusion SONiC NOS Support In-band Network Telemetry
The Asterfusion CX532P-N switch supports INT(In-band Network Telemetry) which provides accurate and comprehensive real-time network telemetry information including port interfaces, packet latency, packet queue lengths, etc. Cloud data center network administrators can leverage INT information to optimize their business applications and network operations, helping to build efficient, intelligent and highly resilient data center networks.
04 / Asterfusion SONiC NOS Support VXLAN & BGP EVPN
EVPN-VXLAN expands the potential number of Layer 2 domains and realizes services such as multi-tenant hosting and virtual machine migration.
05 / Asterfusion SONiC NOS Supports EVPN-Multihoming
AsterNOS 3.1-R0314P06.2, supports EVPN multihoming,adresses several customer challenges. Firstly, EVPN multihoming allows for the connection of a customer site to multiple Provider Edge (PE) devices, ensuring redundancy &high availability through multiple traffic paths. It also facilitates traffic load balancing across multiple PE devices. Moreever, it eliminates the need for complex protocols like STP and VRRP, thereby simplifying network design.
