Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess 780 Unified Services Gateway
The OmniAccess 780 USG offers
superior high availability for a
regional or branch site, along with
comprehensive remote management
by leveraging a highly modular system
design and innovative management
architecture. The OmniAccess 780
USG also integrates critical security
features such as firewall, denial of
service (DoS) protection, application
level gateways, intrusion detection
and prevention, and IPSec virtual
private network (VPN), onto one
unified platform.
With a separate management plane,
dedicated management processors,
and multiple access mechanisms to
reach the system, Alcatel-Lucent's
Lifeline management framework
allows highly resilient remote system
administration, independent of the
state of the system. All services
provided by the OmniAccess 780 can be
managed remotely, thereby eliminating
the need for on-site intervention.
The Alcatel-Lucent ModuLive software
platform provides a fully modular,
always live software base that
maximizes system availability by
enabling in-service upgrades and
configuration changes, and by ensuring
that a fault in one service module
has minimal or no impact on other
services. It also allows for online
insertion and removal of line cards,
obviating the need for network
outages during hardware upgrades.
As multiple services are added, scalability
and performance are maintained
through Alcatel-Lucent's unique
OnePass approach, which performs
common packet classification across
multiple services.
