Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router

• With support for 3Play/residential services, business VPN services, and mobile backhaul and core applications , the 7750 SR can be deployed as a converged IP/MPLS service edge, or as a common platform for multiple service-specific edge applications. With fewer platforms types in the network and a common operating system (SR OS), operations costs are reduced through reduced training costs, spares optimization, and reduced platform and release validation cycles
• Award-winning FP2 network processing silicon ensures 7750 SR platform capacity and service scale can continually evolve in step with customer requirements providing an unprecedented level of investment protection.
• Four chassis variants allow the benefits of Service Routing to be deployed to all POPs within a network with a cost base optimized to the size and service scale requirements of the individual location.
• Sophisticated IP/MPLS QoS enables both best effort and SLA-based services to run concurrently over the same network infrastructure. The result is a reduction in CAPEX through service consolidation at the edge with additional revenue opportunities through the ability to offer differentiated SLA-based services.
• Advanced OAM tool and industry-leading High Availability capabilities significantly reduce network and service downtime while providing a strong foundation for delivering SLA-based services.
• Multiservice Integrated Service Adapter (MS-ISA) resource blades enable services such as Application Assurance (DPI), IPSec, and Video (Fast channel Change, Retransmission, Ad Insertion) typically offered in conjunction with expensive external network-attached servers, to be offered seamlessly and at a much lower cost using the 7750 SR.
• Sophisticated 5620 Service Aware Management with rapid service provisioning accelerates time-to-market for new services.

Industry-leading FP2 silicon
At the heart of the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR is Alcatel-Lucent’s award-winning FP2 network processing silicon. Clocking in at 100 Gb/s (full-duplex), the FP2 chipset enables line interfaces to scale up to 100 Gb/s, while concurrently supporting processing-intensive edge routing services without performance impact. The result is no compromise in the quest for high-speed, intelligent services.

Proven end-to-end operating system
Alcatel-Lucent SR-OS is a carrier-grade, highly fault-tolerant, and feature-rich operating system that operates across the full Alcatel-Lucent service router portfolio. With a single operating system across all platforms, operators can be assured of consistent and reliable operations and management when deploying Ethernet (VLL, VPLS), IP/MPLS (IP VPN), and/or legacy (ATM, TDM, POS) services and applications on an Alcatel-Lucent service router network.

Best-in-class high availability
High availability is more than just redundant hardware. In addition to redundant common equipment and line card redundancy, the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR supports in-service software upgrades (ISSU), non-stop routing for all major routing protocols, stateful failover capabilities, and innovative multi-chassis features for service resiliency. Further, the 7750 SR supports service assurance and monitoring tools across IP, MPLS and Ethernet domains. In short, with its comprehensive suite of high-availability features, the 7750 SR is the industry’s most reliable platform for offering non-stop applications and services.

Advanced hierarchical-QoS
With today’s IP traffic streams including a range of services consisting of video applications, voice, best-effort Internet access, and mission-critical business services, QoS becomes a critical element for delivering both best-effort and SLA-based services on a common platform. The Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR sets the standard with its advanced and highly flexible hierarchical-QoS implementation. As it is designed as a service delivery platform, the 7750 SR provides the tools to define and deliver the most stringent SLAs for high-value services.

Service routing specialization
Alcatel-Lucent recognizes that service providers need to be nimble and yet cost-sensitive when introducing value-added services into the network. With service routing specialization, operators can add new services with higher-level processing requirements to the network wherever an Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR is located, by simply adding an Integrated Service Adapter (ISA) to the node.

Service-aware management
The 7750 SR portfolio is managed by the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager (SAM) for assured, simplified and integrated operations across both network and service management domains. Additional tools, including the 5650 Control Plane Assurance Manager (CPAM) and 5670 Reporting and Analysis Manager (RAM), work in conjunction with the 5620 SAM to streamline network operations and aid in the provisioning and management of advanced networking services.

Environmentally friendly
Pioneering advances in power efficiency are incorporated into each member of the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR portfolio. Combined with environmentally sensitive manufacturing processes, careful materials selection, and a view to sustainable product life cycle management, the 7750 SR portfolio assists service providers in reducing their environmental impact.
