The infrastructure requirements for providing Carrier Grade IP-based packet-switched network access and edge services demand fault tolerant, five-9's availability -- less than five minutes of unscheduled downtime annually. End customers seeking Carrier Grade services have business requirements that value Quality of Service above services pricing. Consequently, carriers must purchase sophisticated network infrastructure to meet this customer requirement.

Carrier Grade network infrastructure is typically built in a rack-mounted chassis. The chassis houses processors, switches, adapters and other devices, which plug into a backplane via proprietary or open interfaces. Cost-effective, open interfaces for Carrier Grade equipment chassis include CompactPCI and CompactPCI Packet Switching Backplane (PICMG 2.16), and the Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCAŽ) . With these chassis, a pair of embedded Ethernet switches replaces traditional standalone routers and switches to provide all IP-based command-and-control internal communication functions. Carrier Grade embedded switches include High Availability configurations such as automatic failover, and hot swap in-and-out of the chassis without halting system operations.

ZNYX Networks provides Carrier Grade embedded Ethernet switches powered by the OpenArchitect integrated management software platform. Built-in support for dozens of standard network routing protocols and management applications allow quick implementation of chassis-based applications for Carrier Grade business requirements. With Support Services from ZNYX Networks, equipment manufacturers and system integrators can help carriers ensure customers with top quality continuous IP services.
