However, MSR is still not a real converged network device. A real converged device must meet a standard, that is, it must be able to replace all devices located at the core layer of the network, including routers, firewalls, IDS/IPS detection, anti-spam products and so on.
as far as I can see, Samsung is the only converged device on the market at present, and its specific product is ubigate ibg series network platform. The following information is available to me for reference, and I hope it will be useful to you:

Seven-layer integrated application! Samsung builds the future network equipment standard
OSI model, which divides the computer network architecture into seven layers. In this model, each layer performs its own duties and is closely linked, thus ensuring the normal transmission of information. In a typical enterprise network system, all kinds of devices also act on a certain layer or layers according to OSI standards-switches realize layer 2 switching function, routers are responsible for layer 3 inter-network addressing, firewalls protect layers 2-4, and so on.
technicians have long been dissatisfied with this network equipment system. They pointed out that when switches, routers, voice gateways and a series of security products come from different manufacturers (in fact, it is difficult for most enterprises to ensure that all devices use the same brand), a series of problems will follow. First of all, there is no information exchange between security products, forming many isolated islands and blind spots in security; Furthermore, each device has its own performance bottleneck, which affects the whole body; In addition, the losses caused by high equipment prices, complicated management, cobweb-dense computer room wiring and frequent upgrades can not be ignored. Therefore, what enterprise users need is a brand-new and integrated network device, that is, one device can provide all network application functions, including data, voice, video, network security and so on, on the premise of ensuring performance.
Samsung's Ubigate iBG network integration platform is such a product. It integrates the main functions of Layer 1-Layer 7 in the OSI model, and integrates the applications at all levels into the same device.
in addition to high-speed switching and fast forwarding routing functions in data link layer and network layer, Ubigate iBG has a series of complete security and voice functions such as VoIP voice module, firewall, anti-virus and anti-spam, which brings a conceptual revolution to enterprise-level network products.
(figure 1) Samsung Ubigate iBG network integration platform
-in the physical layer, Ubigate iBG platform adopts modular plug-in design, and realizes various applications of enterprise-level networks through a large number of plug-in cards and modules. Taking speech as an E&, in addition to providing FXS, FXO, E&; M interface, users can realize VoIP through RJ-45, RJ-11, V.35 and other ports.
—— in the data link layer and network layer, take Samsung Ubigate iBG 326 as an example. It supports two T3/E3 and six T1/E1 WAN links, or supports up to 14 T1/E1 links at the line rate, with a routing forwarding rate of 53KPPS and a switching throughput of up to 21Gbps, far exceeding the routing switching equipment of the same level.
-At the same time, the platform uses the transport layer, presentation layer and session layer to protect the overall security of enterprise customers.
—— ibg-DM (integration business gateway device manager) acts on the application layer, replacing the traditional CLI command line device configuration mode with a friendly and friendly GUI image interface system, which greatly saves the time and cost spent on device management. At the same time, through the powerful graphical monitoring system of iBG-DM, network managers can know the whole network operation at any time.
-not only that, Samsung Ubigate iBG series acts on floors 2-7 with independent ISM (integrated security module), providing all-round security. ISM integrates all the functions of a series of security products, such as firewall, intrusion detection, vulnerability scanning, security audit, anti-virus and traffic monitoring, and builds a more reasonable security system under the framework of integrated equipment. This security system sets a firewall or secure VPN at the network boundary, and at the same time strengthens the protection measures against application layer attacks such as network viruses and spam. With a multi-level, three-dimensional and all-round protection network, the attacks are completely isolated from the network and the availability of the network is guaranteed.
compared with the traditional enterprise network equipment system, Samsung Ubigate iBG integrated platform has obvious and comprehensive advantages:
firstly, the seven-layer integrated application security strategy enables Ubigate iBG to provide the highest level of security guarantee. A series of security detection and prevention are completed by independent ISM (Integrated Security Module)-including IDS/IPS signature detection, virus detection, communication anomaly detection, URL screening and so on. Different from other security products, the protection function of ISM is based on hardware. Taking virus detection as an example, the virus will not be removed until it has infected user files, but will be isolated during transmission, thus ensuring the security of the network system from the bottom. In addition, ISM has an independent processing chip, so users can obtain network security without sacrificing network performance.
voice is more flexible and cheaper. Samsung Ubigate iBG provides switching module with PoE or WLAN access point for IP phone, analog voice interface, supports SIP/H.323 protocol, and through extensive implementation of QoS, makes enterprise voice and data services truly integrated, and supports analog, digital and IP phones at the same time. The advantages of this point are obvious-on the one hand, by expanding IP telephone service on WAN, the communication efficiency of enterprise business will reach a new level; On the other hand, bypassing the PSTN communication network and the equipment support of IP operators greatly reduces the communication cost of enterprises (whether internal or external calls).
in terms of price, Ubigate iBG is cheaper than a complete set of network equipment. More importantly, due to the intensive modular design of Ubigate iBG and the advanced functions of IPv6, Metro Ethernet and MPLS, repeated investment caused by frequent short-term upgrading of equipment is avoided. Users can easily upgrade the platform by replacing individual functional modules.
device management has been simplified, which is the gospel of network managers. Usually, configuring services such as VoIP and network security is complicated, and only senior professional administrators can find the best solution to optimize network operation. In Samsung Ubigate iBG platform, all devices can be managed through "Web-based device manager". In addition to replacing CLI with graphical GUI user interface, Device Manager also provides various "wizards" to guide administrators to complete complex configuration work step by step. It must be pointed out that if all functional modules are from the same manufacturer and there is no gap in technology and standards, integrated equipment configuration and management will be difficult to achieve.
although enterprise-level network equipment integration and network convergence are the general trend of technology, it was not until the appearance of Samsung Ubigate iBG that the industry had the first truly enterprise-level integrated network equipment. The insiders believe that Ubigate iBG series will provide a standard for future network products in architecture, and its performance and price will also become the benchmark for measuring such products. At the same time, Ubigate iBG represents the development direction of "low maintenance cost and high integrated application" of network equipment. As the advertising language of Samsung Network said, as a pioneer and leader in this field, Samsung is letting us "experience the power of integration".

some insiders believe that Samsung's high-profile release of the "123" channel plan will not only maximize the overall strength of its channels and encourage more system integrators to join Samsung's network channels, but also further consolidate Samsung's position as a pioneer and leader in the integrated network field.
