The Quick Start to a Successful Internet Experience
The Internet has gone from an optional
medium to a mission-critical one. As you
move your business to the Web, you face
the challenge of delivering a high-performance, high-availability Web experience to your customers— without a massive investment in infrastructure. Maintaining a mission-critical Web presence
requires managing many
unknowns, including traffic
spikes and denial of service
attacks. At the same time, your end
users want a more personalized Web
Everything You Need
– Nothing You Don’t
Great Performance,
Greater ROI
The Nortel Networks Hosting Quick
Start Solution is a pre-engineered and
fully tested solution bundle designed to
ensure a successful Web presence.
Based on the market-leading Nortel
Networks Alteon Web Switch, the Quick
Start Solution provides unmatched
layer 4 – 7 functionality and performance, along with the switching and security capabilities
required for a solution that
scales easily as your Web presence grows. Couple this functionality with Nortel Networks
Baystack line of high-performance
Layer 2 switches and a selection of several firewall/VPN solutions from
NetScreen, and you have everything you
need –and nothing you don’t—to make
your Web presence thrive.
The Quick Start Solution is based on
Alteon Web Switches, the highest performance layer 4 – 7 content switches
available today. Alteon Web Switches
are purpose-built from the ground up
to manage and control Web traffic, and
their capabilities are unmatched for
servicing the complex, high volume
traffic that your site will face. Server
and firewall load balancing, for example, can operate simultaneously on the
same Web switch, allowing you to optimize the performance of your firewalls
and servers, easily deploy multiple
active firewalls, and prevent problems
that may arise from traffic spikes. You
can even create personalized services
for your customers and further optimize your servers’ capabilities, by taking advantage of the content intelligent
features of the Alteon Web Switches,
including URL- and cookie-based switching. In addition, because of the versatility and processing power of
Alteon Web Switches,
many configurations
do not require the
purchase of an
additional router.
experience that includes reliability, security and speed. Nortel Networks’ Hosting
Quick Start Solution is designed to help
overcome these challenges without the
headaches of integrating multiple disparate devices or the threat of being
locked into a proprietary solution.
The Quick Start Solution comes in four
cost-effective configurations, each
including at least one of the following:
• Nortel Networks Alteon Web Switch
(AceDirector 3, AceDirector 4, or 184)
• High Performance Layer 2
Infrastructure Switch
(BayStack 450)
• High Performance Firewall/VPN
(NetScreen-100 or NetScreen-1000ES)

The Quick Start
Solution also features the best in
security, designed
specifically to handle Web
traffic. NetScreen firewalls, like Alteon
Web Switches, are purpose-built to
deliver complete security, including firewall and VPN functionality, in your most
demanding applications, from high
traffic e-business and co-location sites
to ASP/ISP data centers and enterprise
central sites. NetScreen Technologies'
line of integrated security solutions,
including the industry’s first Gigabit
Firewall, feature an innovative custombuilt ASIC that processes firewall access
policies and encryption algorithms in
hardware. This frees the CPU for data
flow management and offers significantly higher performance than software-only solutions. That means you’ll
get near wirespeed performance, even
for 3DES encryption, and very low latency. NetScreen’s full-featured firewalls
use technologies based on stateful
inspection, securing your site against
intruders and denial-of-service attacks.
NetScreen firewalls maintain full session synchronization, which means near
zero interruption to your site in the case
of a firewall failure.
The Quick Start Solution also includes
BayStack 450 switches for fan-out and
server/firewall aggregation. BayStack
450 switches are stackable to accommodate increased density requirements.
These workgoup switches offer the reliability, resiliency, and performance of
traditional chassis switching in a
convenient stackable form factor that
allows you to grow your site as needed.
The BayStack 450 features fail-safe
stackability, flexible choices for highspeed uplinks including Gigabit
Ethernet and ATM, advanced software
features, and the fastest packet-forwarding rate in its class.
