a Modular Interface Card (MIC) and provides a maximum of 3.6 Gbps read and 2 Gbps
of write memory.
The AS MSC has the following features:
400 GB NAND Flash memory
Up to 10 years of write memory
Multilevel cell (MLC) NAND memory support
Best-in-class NAND controller for maximum performance and reliability
AS MSCs are hot-removable and hot-insertable. One AS MSC can be installed in the top
slot of each AS MLC. Each AS MSC has these components:
SATA-3 controller—An eight-ports, 6 Gbps SAS/SATA controller.
NAND Flash controller— NAND Flash and NAND Flash controller are used in an AS
MSC.
Control plane—Inter-integrated circuit control plane that allows Peripheral Component
Interconnect Express (PCIe) control.
LEDs—Two LEDs display the status of the AS MSC and storage.
Online/offline button—To power on or power off the AS MSC.

The Application Services Modular Processing Card (AS MXC) is a pluggable X86-based
card that can be inserted into the lower slot of the Application Services Modular Line
Card (AS MLC). The AS MXC serves as the processing card for the Junos Content Encore
system and contains the two X86, Intel 8-core processors with interface ability greater
than 80 Gbps. The AS MXC (see
(Modular Interface Card).
