With dedicated capacity for each NPC slot, performance scales in a linear manner. High-speed backplane means each NPC has access to more than 100 Gbps of non-blocking traffic capacity.This means that as NPCs are added to increase performance and capacity, no traffic management changes are required, nor is it necessary to re-cable or reconfigure your PA-220. The FPP constantly tracks the shared pool of available processing and I/O resources across all NPCs, intelligently directing inbound traffic to any underutilized processors. First Packet Processor (FPP) is the key to maximizing performance and delivering linear scalability to the PA-220.First- and second-generation SMCs are available, with the second generation offering significant improvements in the following three areas of functionality: To address growing demand for higher-capacity 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps connectivity Switch Management CardĪcting as the control center of the PA-220, the Switch Management Card (SMC) intelligently oversees all traffic and executes all management functions, using a combination of three elements: the First Packet Processor, a high-speed backplane, and the management subsystem.
Scaling the throughput to the maximum 700 Gbps on the PA-7080, or 420 Gbps on the PA-7050, is as easy as adding a new NPC and allowing the system to determine the best use of the new processing power. Each NPC has between 64 (first generation) and 144 (second generation) processing cores, all focused on protecting your network at up to 70 Gbps per NPC. The Network Processing Card (NPC) is dedicated to executing all packet-processing tasks, including networking, traffic classification, and threat prevention. The PA-3220 chassis intelligently distributes processing demands across three subsystems, each with massive amounts of computing power and dedicated memory. The PA-3220 is powered by a scalable architecture for the purpose of applying the appropriate type and volume of processing power to the key functional tasks of networking, security, and management.
