KEY BENEFITS
UNMATCHED FLEXIBILITY AND INVESTMENT PROTECTION WITH OPEN SERVICES NETWORKING
The MSR 30 enhances network functionality through 3Com Open Services Networking (OSN), delivering
u
nmatched application and service flexibility based on business requirements. The result is increased
investment protection, reduced complexity and costs, simplified deployment and management, and
increased visibility and control.
The modular design and high-performance engine of the MSR 30 Series, coupled with the flexibility of OSN,
enables users to integrate individual or multiple business productivity, enhanced security and/or performance
a
ccelerating applications into the network. Additionally, users can deploy applications to meet their objectives
today and easily update or change applications and services as the business evolves.
OSN applications are integrated into the MSR platform through Open Services Modules (OSM) that feature
standalone processing capabilities, a secure Linux operating system, and embedded memory to maximize
performance and flexibility without compromising the MSR’s processor unit.
For service providers and systems integrators, the MSR platform and OSN enable innovative, differentiated
services that provide higher value to customers and increase retention. For example, service providers can
create and rapidly deploy fully-managed bundled voice, video and data services as well as customize their
offering to fulfill a customer’s unique business needs. Additionally, through 3Com’s corporate developer
program, service providers can leverage OSN to deploy their in-house-produced applications on the MSR,
protecting their development investments.
Examples of best-of-breed commercial, open source and 3Com applications enabled through OSN include:
› Voice over IP and live and on-demand video that empower employees and increase productivity;
› enhanced security functionality, including Information Leak Protection (ILP) and Security Information
Event Management (SIEM) to fortify an organization’s multi-layered security strategy;
› network performance-enhancing WAN optimization and application acceleration that give branch office
and remote employees faster and more reliable access to the tools and information needed to be successful;
and,
› monitoring and management applications to simplify network deployment and management as well as
provide deep visibility in order to make informed business decisions.

CONVERGED COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT
In addition to a comprehensive portfolio of voice gateway interfaces, the MSR 30 Series delivers services up
to wirespeed T1/E1 rates. The MSR 30 also offers optional embedded Voice Processing Modules (VPM) and
Voice Co-Processing Modules (VCPM), which enable advanced voice processing for high-performance analog
and digital voice services without compromising performance of the other modules or of the router.
The VCPM provides local Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) functions while the VPM serves as a Digital
Signal Processor (DSP) to support IP voice communication over the network. Scalable voice configurations and
higher line density are supported through the use of multiple VPMs, based on the number of voice lines
required. VPMs and VCPMs reside on a centralized, embedded multi-service processor module, conserving
router I/O slots for maximum port density and configuration flexibility. Fully-populated, the MSR 30 Series
can accommodate as many as 300 digital voice channels.
Building on 3Com's commitment to open standards, the MSR 30 Series supports common industry voice
protocols including Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and H.323.
