“As the industry is gearing towards programmable infrastructure, we are pleased to offer multi-terabit performance with Intel Tofino Expandable Architecture optimized for customers evolving edge-to-cloud requirements, such as load balancing, security, telco user plane functions and broadband gateways”

As a network solution provider, Edgecore understands the requirements of modern network deployments and is dedicated to delivering new levels of service and breakthrough performance for operators, unlocking the potential of open networking and releasing a new service experience across mobile and multi-cloud landscapes. The CSP-7550 is a powerful platform optimized for the Intel Tofino Expandable Architecture to deliver large and fast table lookups, high-performance computing, and predictable forwarding times. The CSP-7550 gives cloud service providers the scalability to handle increasing traffic loads and demanding computing requirements.

The CSP-7550 includes eight DDR4 DIMM slots per CPU, with local storage options including two SATA III or PCIe. It supports four open PCIe slots for customers to choose whatever kind of standard FPGA, Smart NIC, or AI/ML PCIe cards etc. for different applications. In addition, the CSP-7550 supports an optional FPGA card, which has a high-speed connection to the Tofino chipset. With the FPGA card, the CSP-7550 is able to support extra-large tables for hundreds of millions of session entries or provide tens of GBs of high-speed buffering for Hierarchical Quality of Service (HQoS).
