ip|engines - appliances that cooperate to perform distributed computation for globally optimal results

ip|engines are self-managed devices that are installed at edge locations of the WAN. They typically are placed between the CPE router and the site LAN to deliver the features of the Ipanema System. They require no individual configuration, except their IP addressing information. ip|engines operate under the central control of ip|boss, a component of the central management software, the Ipanema Management Software Suite.

All ip|engines communicate with each other and form a synchronized and distributed system. A range of ip|engines exists to fit different WAN link capacities. The latest generation of the hardware offers breakthrough performance to meet the demands of the largest and most complex networks, and the richest business applications of today and tomorrow. Each ip|engine also offers auxiliary ports for system extension.

The ip|engine 5ax offers the highest performance in its price range and form factor. This 230x200x33mm (9x8x1.3in), compact device handles WAN traffic of up to 8Mbps symmetrical bandwidth and 20/2Mbps for ADSL. The ip|engine 5ax has an 80GB disk for enhanced redundancy elimination capabilities, and it is ideal for branch offices fitted with modern ADSL2+ or SDSL links. .

For datacenters and other high-capacity sites, the ip|engine 1800ax is a carrier-grade device able to manage up to 1Gbps of WAN traffic. It includes redundant power supplies and three 750GB hot-swappable disks with RAID support. In the middle of the product line, there are the ip|engine 120ax, ip|engine 140ax and ip|engine 1000ax models, each tailored to cope cost-effectively with its own range of WAN access bandwidths.
