The RS12-38700 features two Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors 5400 Series, hardware RAID, Cavium 2.5Gbps VPN engine and the latest in field service technology, delivering unique value proposition for next generation service appliances.    (Taipei, Taiwan – February 26, 2008) Lanner Electronics Inc, a leading designer and manufacturer of network security platforms and technologies, today announces the RS12-38700 storage appliance. The Lanner RS12-38700 is a 45nm Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor-based enterprise-class storage appliance for network centric service applications such as WAN acceleration, security information and event management, triple play, cache server and unified communications.   “Lanner’s RS12-38700 is the amalgamation of 20 years experience in rackmount hardware design,” offered Will Chen, Chief Technology Officer. “Compared to chassis’ from generic manufacturers, Lanner offers the latest in easy to service technology, including field replaceable motherboard, drives, power supply, and fans.”   Built around the Intel® 5000P chipset, the RS12-38700 supports two Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series, 8 fully buffered DIMMs, and two PCI-Express networking modules. A dedicated onboard Vitesse RAID controller supports 12 hot-swappable SAS/SATA hard drives with RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5 data protection, while a 2.5Gbps Cavium encryption engine offloads layer 4 processing to reduce CPU load and deliver more efficient system performance. “Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors combined with the Intel® 5000P chipset delivers a wide array of features for storage and intensive computing tasks; such as increased bus bandwidth, fully-buffered memory support and flexible PCI-Express Ethernet I/O integration,” said Seth Bobroff, general manager, Storage, Intel® Server Platform Group. “This high-performance, energy-efficient platform enabled Lanner to deliver a RAID SAS storage appliance allowing their customers to deploy highly responsive storage and network service appliances.” The RS12-38700 also supports two network modules and up to 8 Gigabit fibre or copper ports. Customers can choose from a range of fibre, fibre by-pass, or GbE RJ45 modules, to create a storage appliance with the right mix of networking interfaces.   Careful material selection and proper use of damping technology addresses shock issues from the outset. The RS12-38700 meets the stringent requirements needed to eliminate harmonic vibration. Addressing mechanical and electronic issues in the early stages of the design process, the Lanner RS12-38700 offers what generic storage products cannot: a superior solution to the growing problem of data storage, retention and redundancy. By considering the growing need for networking and offload engines, Lanner is able to design a superior platform for a diverse set of application requirements. Further product information is available on the Lanner website: http://www.lannerinc.com/product_detail.php?products_id=241&cPath=169_161_225  The Lanner RS12-38700 is available today for evaluation.
