Like all AX Series hardware appliances, maximum performance and advanced
software features are included, ensuring no budget surprises or need to purchase
licenses during unforeseen peak loads.
The AX 3530 offers 115 Gbps of throughput and 256 million concurrent sessions while consuming a maximum of 476 Watts. The AX 3530 is the only complete Advanced Traffic Manager in its class delivered in only 1 RU, driving data center efficiency and consolidation of current vendors' high end units.
Reliable operation with maximum uptime and cutting edge performance can be
guaranteed with high quality hardware specifications and components, including
Lights Out Management (LOM) support with the integrated Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). The AX 3530's two 8-core Intel Xeon Sandy Bridge processors, 12 x 10 Gbps ports, Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory and solid-state drive (SSD) deliver data center robustness, all backed by world class support.
The AX 3530's reliability, scalability and performance dramatically raise the bar for any Advanced Traffic Manager requiring 10-Gb port density, high throughput rates and high scalability.
