Trusted Network Security Platform (TNSP)
With converging network infrastructures promising to
reduce network acquisition and operating costs,
enforcing service and network use policies is key to
unlocking the revenue potential of next generation
networks. CloudShield's CS-4000 Trusted Network Security
Platform powers the next generation of high-speed
network security and service control solutions.
Addressing the shortcomings of a network equipment
market dominated by closed, fixed-function appliances,
the CS-4000 platform offers an adaptable, active network
device that combines CloudShield's patented deep packet
inspection capabilities together with high-performance,
general purpose computing for scalable, flexible
performance.
The CS-4000 is a modular chassis supporting three
high-speed packet processing slots for Content
Processing Accelerators (CPA) or CloudShield patented
Deep Packet Processing Modules (DPPM) supporting up to
40Gbps of software-driven content processing capacity
per module. Interface modules provide 160Gbps of network
bandwidth, improved port density and various network
interface configurations for seamless insertion into
carrier networks.
