Service gateway ESR-21

– Scalable solution for different fields of application
– Advanced command line interface for management
– Flexible services configuration
– Interfacing with the equipment of leading manufacturers
– Hardware acceleration of data processing
– High reliability and redundancy of critical parts

Functional area
Service gateway ESR-21 series routers are universal hardware platforms capable of performing a wide range of tasks related to network security.

ESR-21 is universal service routers designed according to the requirements of energy and oil and gas industries. The devices support advanced routing functions, geographically-distributed networks and network security functions.

Distinguishing feature of ESR-21 is availability of additional RS-232 ports that can be used for value added features realization – remote console access to nearby equipment (AUX mode), connection of wired and GSM modems to the router.

Performance
The key elements of ESR routers are data processing hardware acceleration means that ensure a high level of performance. Hardware and software processing is distributed among the units of the device.

Typical tasks performed by ESR-21:
– Data routing
– Construction of secure network perimeter (NAT, Firewall)
– User access control
– Organization of secure network tunnels
– Construction of distributed private networks, integration of remote offices into single network
– Filtering of network data by various criteria
– Interaction with the existing customer network infrastruc-ture by the use of communicating channels types defined by industry standards – voice channels, leased and dial-up lines, E1 flows.
