Policy Traffic Switch

Enabling Better Broadband with Network Policy Control

The challenges facing fixed and mobile Internet providers are distinct from those faced by enterprises or other large organizations. The network itself is vastly different in terms of scale, trust and operational restrictions; the users have different demands and expectations, and the mix of traffic is much more diverse. Only products and solutions designed exclusively for service providers can hope to effectively address the real-life complexities that they face.

Sandvine is dedicated to offering solutions that increase network profitability, while improving the experience for the subscriber. The platform on which these solutions are delivered is the Sandvine Policy Traffic Switch (PTS), a powerful traffic inspection and network policy control device that provides the tools necessary for network operators to achieve a wide range of business objectives across multiple functional teams.

The Policy Traffic Switch – A Foundation of Innovation

PTS 22050

The PTS 22050 has the same features as all other platforms of the PTS family. It offers 4 Gbps inspection throughput ideal for smaller POPs and service edge deployments. The platform’s clustering technology allows true N:N+1 redundancy as well as automatic resolution of asymmetry issues. Innovative traffic management options allow service providers to achieve bandwidth objectives while improving the subscriber experience. Industry-leading port density, consolidating multiple GE and 10GE links, enables simplified deployments and reduces both CAPEX and OPEX.

PTS 14000

The PTS 14000 upped the ante by delivering true Tier 1 scalability years before any other options appeared on the market. With 10 GE links and a novel approach to handling asymmetric routing, the PTS 14000 allows insight into and management of traffic at bandwidth levels and network scale that was previously impossible. The unit’s clustering capabilities enabled the world’s first 80 Gbps intelligent traffic management deployment almost two years before any competitive product could say the same. The PTS 14000 is available in 4 Gbps or 10 Gbps formats perfect for edge and aggregation layer deployments in large networks. [learn more]

PTS 22000

With three models offering inspection throughput of 20 Gbps, 10 Gpbs or 4 Gbps per unit, and clusters intersecting up to 80 Gbps per cluster, the PTS 22000 is perfectly suited for subscriber edge or aggregation layer deployments. The high efficiency power supplies further reduce TCO. Whether a service provider is operating in an emerging market where sustainable growth is the primary issue, or fighting in a competitive landscape where rapid innovation is the key to success, the PTS 22000 is the platform that can take the network to the next level.

PTS 24000

With the PTS 24000, Sandvine has again set the standard for scalability, flexibility, reliability, and functionality. Delivering 80 Gbps per-box throughput, and clustering to solution deployments of up to 480 Gbps, the PTS 24000 ensures that the world’s largest service providers can apply network policy control and enable new services today and well into the future. These advances are achieved on a modular platform delivering a unique fan-in/fan-out architecture allowing multiple 1/10 GE in and 10 GE out data intersects and industry-leading port density.
