CSE2000 CARRIER
SERVICES ENGINE
Product Overview
As carrier networks are increasingly
built around a simple transport
layer surrounded by software-driven
services, they generate demand
for carrier-grade x86 appliances
suitable for collocation with
telecommunication equipment. The
CSE2000 Carrier Services Engine is
leading the market in this direction as
a premier, general-purpose, scaling
and services platform capable of
running both Juniper and third-party
software packages. The offload
capabilities of the CSE2000 improve
both the scale and richness of
network services at a fraction of the
cost normally reserved for specialized
proprietary hardware platforms.
Product Description
Juniper Networks® CSE2000 Carrier Services Engine is a high-performance service
provider appliance for a wide range of controller, scaling, and Network Functions
Virtualization (NFV) applications. This appliance meets and in many ways exceeds
NEBS/ETSI standards, and it provides the robust foundation for Juniper and thirdparty services like route reflection, traffic sampling, flow monitoring, path computation,
distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection, and many others. With the CSE2000, a
service provider can save money by collocating services with transport and edge devices,
and simplify service architectures by deploying a network controller in any convenient
location. This “just in time” service processing complements the data center-based
network services model pioneered by Juniper Networks Contrail for robust and flexible
SDN component deployment.
Software for the CSE2000 comes in the form of Juniper and third-party applications and
is user-installable. System throughput is up to 40 Gbps per blade, with stacking available
for higher performance clustering. The appliance has been designed with the highest
reliability standards and supports redundant hot-swappable power supplies, front-toback airflow, and a hardware alarm interface. Services are supported over multiple parallel
10GbE links, with automatic failover in the event of a link loss.
Architecture and Key Components
The CSE2000 Carrier Services Engine is a hardened 2 RU chassis designed to carry two
blades. Blades can come in computing (x86) and switch (62x 10GbE) form factors. Power
is provided by AC or DC supplies in active/active redundancy configuration, with cooling
delivered by hot-swappable fans (front-to-back air intake). Computing blades come with
an I/O card (IOC) supporting up to four 10GbE interfaces. The key hardware features are
listed in Table 1.
