Converteon AT-CM301 Fast Ethernet Line Card is media and rate converter line card that feature a 10/100TX twisted pair port and a 100FX with multi mode dual fiber ST connector and a maximum operating distance of 2km.

Converteon AT-CM3K0S Gigabit Ethernet Rate Converter Line Card features a 10/100/1000T twisted pair port, and an optical SFP slot. The twisted pair port has an RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet) when connected to either an Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit device. Depending on the model, the media and rate converter line cards can operate in multi-mode or single-mode fiber over various distances up to 80km.

The Allied Telesis ANC10 dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-Express Network Adapters feature SR-IOV offload combined with standard Ethernet functionality. Together, these features provide the necessary performance and bandwidth critical to I/O-intensive applications such as virtualization and High Performance Computing (HPC).

Optimized for virtualization
Using multi-port cards in virtualized environments is critical to the application in order to provide redundancy and data connectivity for the workloads in virtual machines. Due to specific slot limitations, and the need for redundancy/data connectivity, it is usually recommended that virtualized servers use 10 Gigabit ports to satisfy the I/O demands.

Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMware Direct-Path)
VMware Direct-Path (SR-IOV) reduces I/O overhead on the hypervisor in a virtualized server by performing data sorting and uniting it in the network silicon. This feature requires an operating system (OS) that supports VMware Direct-Path (SR-IOV).

Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDQ) make use of multiple queues in the network controller. As data packets enter the card, they are sorted, and packets travelling to the same destination or virtual machine are grouped together in a single queue. The packets are sent to the hypervisor, which directs them to their respective virtual machines. Removing the strain of packet filtering and sorting from the hypervisor improves overall CPU usage and throughput.

The ANC10 provides improved performance with next-generation technology (VMware Direct-Path, Netqueue, SR-IOV), which includes features such as loop back (inter-VM communication) and priority-weighted bandwidth management. The number of data queues per port is increased to 64, and the interface card also supports multicast and broadcast data on a virtualized server.

Superior functionality
The ANC10S includes dedicated hardware and processors to process frames at the highest levels in the operating system for both transmit and receive paths - advantageous for virtualization applications.

More bandwidth with PCIe
The PCI-Express (PCIe) design provides the maximum possible bandwidth and bus efficiency. Other benefits include capability and low power consumption.

Performance and reliability
Allied Telesis validates its Network Adapters over a variety of operating systems and platforms, ensuring compatibility. The ANC10S takes full advantage of the PCI-Express bus architecture to maximize network throughput. Teaming enables Smart Load Balancing (SLB), which helps increase throughput and fault tolerance when multiple adapters are configured to share traffic and provide data reliability with failover.

Powerful control software
The ANC10S provides an unprecedented level of governance across the entire network, enabling detailed tests, analysis, and diagnostics for each network adapter installed in the system. It includes utilities to help configure VLANs and set up teams for link aggregation, SLB, failover, and more.

The ANC10S includes a comprehensive Microsoft Windows utility which performs detailed tests, diagnostics and analysis.

Allied Telesis Secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) Routers are the ideal secure gateway for modern businesses. Integrated firewall and VPN functionality is combined with routing and switching, providing an innovative solution that is easy to use and very secure.

As businesses adapt to faster paced operations, with increasing amounts of data, and the need to access company resources from outside the office, the demand for high performance VPN connectivity becomes more urgent.

The AR1050V features comprehensive security and networking capabilities, meeting the demands of distributed businesses that require multi-site VPNs.

Secure Remote VPNs

The AR1050V supports IPSec site-to-site VPNs for connecting branch offices to a central office, providing employees company-wide with consistent access to the corporate network.

Easy to manage

The AR1050V runs the advanced AlliedWare Plus™ fully featured operating system, with an industry standard CLI. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) includes wizards for easy Internet connectivity and VPN creation, while the dashboard enables monitoring of traffic throughput and security status. Configuration of security zones, networks and hosts, and rules to limit and manage traffic, provides a consistent approach to policy management.

The 1000X SFP Converteon Line Card is designed to extend the distance of your Gigabit network by interconnecting LAN devices that are physically separated by large distances. The cards are compatible with a wide range of SFP modules, providing fiber connectivity over both multi mode and single mode fiber, at distances up to 80km, and copper connectivity up to 100m. Compliant with IEEE standards, these converters will inter operate with other standards based media converters, switches, adapter cards etc.
