The Cuda 12000 provides the following hardware features:
Table 1-1 Cuda 12000 Hardware Features
Feature Description
Total System
Redundancy The entire system is architected for full redundancy to
provide a highly fault-tolerant solution that includes:
■
Dual-Power Sources: The system can be connected to
two -48 VDC power sources to ensure uninterrupted
power availability.
■
MeshFlow TM Fabric: Every application module is
connected to every other application module via a
high-speed serial mesh. This mesh supports a peak
throughput capacity of 204.6 Gbps. (132 x 1.55 Gbps.),
delivering IP packet routing with minimal latency and
high availability to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS)
across your core IP network.
■
Dual Management modules: The Cuda 12000 supports
up to two Management modules to ensure
uninterrupted system management.
■
Redundant Management Buses: The backplane consists
of a 100-Mbps management BUS with redundant
channels, over which the Management modules and
system application modules communicate.
Distributed
Processing Power Application modules consist of a network processor with
dedicated Synchronous Burst SRAM. Unlike other systems
that use a central system processor, processing power and
memory scale with every application module that you
install in the chassis.
