Integrated Secure-Switch-Router (ISSR) provides optimal, consolidated office-in-a-box solution

Marvell’s Integrated Secure-Switch-Router architecture features a single chip SoC platform that integrates the company’s  Sheeva™ gigahertz class processor, VoIP, security processing, and full wire-speed multi-layer Ethernet switching.

Providing an optimal, consolidated office-in-a-box solution, the new ISSR addresses the requirements of small and medium businesses (SMB), enterprise branch offices, internet cafes and facilities dedicated to education.

According to Marvell’s Michael Zimmerman, Senior Director Marketing for Ethernet Access in the Enterprise Business Unit, Consumer and Communications Business Group, a conventional network typically combines four to six devices such as gateway routers, access points, Ethernet switches, firewall/VPN, print servers, and IP-PBXs: “The Marvell ISSR offers multi-functional capabilities and convergence of routers, switches, security, VoIP, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), and WiFi management in one system, driving lower operating expenses and power consumption."

The new ISSR platform fulfills the requirements of SMB, enterprise branch offices, and public structures by offering open application program interfaces (API) to third-party software providers and has already been adopted into value-added applications from companies such as Microsemi Corporation, Napera Networks, TeamF1, Inc. and BroadWeb, a leading provider in the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) network security market.

Focused on intrusion prevention features to protect the network from external threats, Marvell's collaboration with BroadWeb takes ISSR to the next level of SMB and small and medium enterprise (SME) security devices. "Having almost a thousand different applications in the BroadWeb® application signature suite, the ISSR equips customers with exceptional application layer protection including application classification, peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic control, worm/virus protection, Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, and hacker prevention," said Dr. Terence Liu, CEO of BroadWeb. "All this, without impacting the overall switch performance, thereby providing a comprehensive secure solution for SMB and SME customers."
