Nortel Service Delivery Module
Enterprise-Class Core Switching

The Service Delivery Module (SDM) 8660 is a flexible services module delivering highly-available stateful Firewall services in the Network Core. The SDM 8660 is a device that hosts network applications and is installed into the spare slot of a Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600. The card has four slots called iSDs, which can be used for flexible application modules. A single system image simplifies configuration, software management, and fault handling. The ability to support multiple services at the same time on one platform eliminates the need for dedicated boxes running different applications and leverages the resiliency of Ethernet Routing Switch 8600.

Key Features:

• Highly-available stateful firewall solution
• Integrated into the 8600 Resilient Terabit Cluster design
• Running Check Point’s Firewall-1 NG for leading features
• Leveraging Check Point’s OPSEC to integrate with Nortel’s Threat Protection System
• Scalable performance to enable cost-effective security solutions
• Flexible design approach with future proofed architecture
