Redback Introduces in-Service Software Upgrade Capabilities
Posted on: Monday, 9 June 2008, 12:00 CDT
Redback Networks, an Ericsson company that develops IP-based routers and switches, has introduced in-service software upgrade capabilities for its entire family of IP-based routers and switches.
The new software feature allows carriers to upgrade the operating system for Redback routers and switches without taking them out of service. The PC world equivalent would be upgrading to a new version of Windows without shutting down PC or Web applications.
Introducing in-service software upgrade (ISSU) separates Redback-Ericsson from other router companies. It establishes Redback's products as the first and only family of routers and switches on the market that can be upgraded in real-time with no disruption in network operations and subscriber services.
The company said, ISSU is the latest feature in the SmartEdge operating system, and it uniformly supports on all SmartEdge platforms (400, 800, 1200), as well as Redback's new SM series of smart ethernet switches.
