Enhanced IPv4 connectivity capabilities

Addressing IPv4 address shortages and extending the lifespan of IPv4 network infrastructure to ensure continuous availability and reliability of critical applications and services.

IPv6 Migration Management:

Smooth transition to IPv6, supporting translation and tunneling between IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The capability to operate multiple protocols simultaneously, allowing operators to implement transition mechanisms as needed gradually.

Scalability for IoT and BYOD:

The implementation of IoT and BYOD accelerates the proliferation of Internet-connected devices. This leads to the exhaustion of the available IPv4 address space. Planning to meet IP address needs in expanding connectivity capabilities and scaling infrastructure to ensure service continuity.

Reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO):

High performance in a compact form factor leads to reduced OPEX and CAPEX due to efficient rack space usage, reduced power consumption, and cooling requirements.

Enhancing Security and Availability:

Enhancing infrastructure security by protecting the NAT IP address pool from large-scale DDoS attacks. Ensuring high connection reliability through the use of application layer gateways (ALG) and other important features such as high availability (HA).

Flexible Deployment Options:

The ability to deploy Thunder CGN according to an organization’s software and hardware strategy: via hardware appliance, virtual appliance, bare metal, and CGN containers.

DDoS attacks have evolved into larger, more frequent, and destructive multi-vector attacks. Most enterprises use DDoS protection solutions that are not capable of effectively and cost-efficiently managing the volume and complexity of multi-vector attacks.

MANAGEMENT AND INTEGRATION

The deployment of Thunder CGN can be configured through centralized device management and integration with third-party platforms as needed. Thunder CGN software options ensure quick deployment and flexible operation alongside available high-performance hardware options.

Global analytics-based management
SDN and NFV ready service
Hypervisor (software support)
Platform without an operating system
Native container deployment
