Name:	HSX 6000
Product URL:	http://www.hammerheadsystems.com/products/hsx6000/index.html
Description:	Hammerhead Systems’ HSX 6000 is the first in a new category of Layer 2.5 edge platforms enabling aggregation, interworking and migration of the full breadth of access protocols across any core infrastructure. Hammerhead’s Layer 2.5 aggregation approach combines the best of Layer 3 application awareness and MPLS connectivity with the best of Layer 2 economics, operations and interworking. The HSX 6000 scales from 2.5G to 120G in I/O capacity (full duplex) in a compact 1/4-rack footprint, offering Service Providers long-awaited innovations in Edge Switch technology, a 10X improvement in density of service interfaces, and dramatic reductions in overall system costs. The HSX 6000 is optimized to enable Service Providers to accelerate the profitable delivery of Ethernet services, fully interworked with legacy services, at a fraction of the cost and complexity of other solutions. Addressing the service provider’s needs of simultaneously performing service aggregation, service interworking, and network migration, the HSX 6000 incorporates Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3) and Dry Martini implementations; extensive Ethernet support (native GigE and EoS); support for a wide range of services from EVPL (E-LINE) and VPLS (E-LAN) to IP Leased Line Aggregation (PPP/MLPPP/HDLC), Frame Relay/MLFR, and ATM/IMA; and complete Any-to-Any Service Interworking. The HSX 6000 leads the industry with its robust QoS implementation, unique in its support of the full set of MPLS, Ethernet, and ATM QoS combined with sophisticated traffic shaping and policing capabilities, and scaling to over 1 million flows on a single system. This best-in-class QoS architecture enables unmatched levels of service segregation and SLA assurance, critical for robust aggregation of diverse data, video, and packet voice services feeding a common IP/MPLS core. The HSX 6000 features an industry leading innovation around Bandwidth Pooling (patent pending), enabling the HSX to provide the industry's most efficient system capacity utilization as an architectural advantage that leads to a superior Total Cost of Ownership. The HSX offers an in-service, field-upgradable capability as customers choose to move from 30G to 120G switching capacity. Unlike competitive products, with this capability, customers are not forced to do a fork-lift upgrade when they need to add capacity for growth or transitions to higher bandwidth traffic.
