Corsa Technology, a start-up based in Ottawa, introduced its new Corsa DP2000 open programmable switching and routing platform for 10G and 100G subscriber-level networking, on-demand services and real-time network tuning.
The Corsa DP2000 allows network architects and operators to use APIs to dynamically partition the hardware into independent virtual SDN switches or routers operating at line-rate.
Corsa said its advanced traffic management and QoS features enable network operators to fine-tune traffic paths to ensure individual customers, subscribers or services receive their appropriate bandwidth and throughput. In addition, per flow statistics for all traffic is available, offering unprecedented real-time network insights at the most granular level and enabling any manner of predictive traffic management or security.
Key capabilities of the new DP2000 series includes:
- True network hardware virtualization enabling logical L2 and L3 network services via SDN programmatic control
- Subscriber-level internet scale networking with per flow traffic engineering and advanced traffic management
- Real-time network insights with per-flow traffic monitoring statistics
- Multi terabit throughput with switch stacking
- Open SDN programmability at multiple abstraction levels
- The DP2000 series is scalable from 100G to 2.4T of throughput.
“The DP2000 series is the first switching and routing platform to offer open programmable networking on a platform where you can dynamically slice a single physical switch into virtualized line-rate switching and routing instances that can support 100G of throughput. What compute has been doing for years, we now make possible at the core of the communications network," said Bruce Gregory, CEO of Corsa Technology. “We built this solution with WAN and metro applications in mind, because it is here that network architects are struggling to handle exploding volume and diversity of traffic and where our multi-context hardware virtualization has a huge impact.”

“We’re helping businesses get more value out of the cloud services they already use. They have a new choice to simplify network management and provide more control using the AT&T network,” says Andy Daudelin, vice president, AT&T Cloud and Cloud Networking. “Our leading network is the foundation for all our integrated cloud solutions. The performance and scale of our network provides businesses and their employees the ability to access key Virtustream services more securely from nearly anywhere and at any time.”
