Powered by the Bay Microsystems MontegoTM Network Processor, the NX5010ae is architected around a
10 Gbps Universal Service Card (USC). Montego has a deterministic, pipe-lined architecture that enables the
system to facilitate line rate internetworking between a wide array of today's protocols, while providing
flexibility and programmability for utilizing additional protocols in the future.
The NX5010ae's USC utilizes a fully distributed modular design that contains a Virtual Output Queued (VOQ)
buffered switching mechanism which eliminates the need for a complex, centralized switching fabric.
This switch-on-a-card design simplifies the overall architecture and allows for any-to-any passive cross-connects.
The NX5010ae utilizes a 2U stackable form factor which allows the system to scale in increments of 20 Gbps,
enabling incremental network expansion in an economical pay-as-you-grow solution.

The NX5010ae has been designed from the ground up to provide agile network mediation, internetworking, segmentation and reassembly
of network traffic utilizing multiple protocols including InfiniBand, IP, Ethernet, ATM, and MPLS. InfiniBand is the technology of
choice for high performance networks that interconnect large data centers and compute clusters due to its unmatched progressive
scalability and extremely low latency.
Until now, InfiniBand has been confined within the data center due to its sub-20m cable length limitations. With the NX5010ae, this
limitation is removed and InfiniBand can be transported over a wide area network (WAN) allowing remotely located data centers and
grid computing elements to be interconnected seamlessly with InfiniBand.
VThe NX5010ae can bridge InfiniBand over the WAN using OC-192 and the high performance packet processing technology of
Bay Microsystems MontegoTM Network Processor, enabling remote locations to be part of the same InfiniBand subnet to:
Connect remote Compute Clusters into grids that operate (over the WAN) with low latency and utilize standard InfiniBand protocols.
Visualize large databases over long distance through power of InfiniBand.
Deploy high speed, net centric applications handling large payloads.
Extend Storage Networks over multiple locations.
