Today sees the retrofitting of Lanner’s NCA-5210 and NCA-4210 with Intel®’s 7th Gen Core™ i7/i5/i3 processors (codenamed Kaby Lake), making both of these enterprise network security platforms even more powerful and specs-sufficient for countering today’s advanced cyber threats.
In addition to the upgraded CPU and chipset, the 1U rackmount NCA-5210, can now be configured with 12x, 8x or 4x LAN ports, maximizing its Ethernet connectivity capability for network security, cloud computing and data centers.
Other outstanding features of the NCA-5210 include Intel® C236 PCH, four or two NIC module slots, up to 64GB of system memory via four 288-pin DIMM DDR4 (now at 2400MHz), dual 2.5” HDD/SSD drive bays, a PCI-E*4/8 FH/HL (by project) and four cooling fans.
Skylake vs Kaby Lake U Model Processors Clock Speed Comparison
Skylake | Kaby Lake | Skylake | Kaby Lake | Skylake | Kaby Lake | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Processor | i3-6100U | i3-7100U | i5-6200U | i5-7200U | i7-6500U | i7-7500U |
Base Clock Speed | 2.3GHz | 2.4GHz (100MHz gain) | 2.3GHz | 2.5GHz (200MHz gain) | 2.5GHz | 2.7GHz (200MHz gain) |
Turbo Boost Clock Speed | N/A | N/A | 2.8GHz | 3.1GHz (300MHz gain) | 3.1GHz | 3.5GHz (400MHz gain) |
The compact NCA-4210, on the other hand, retains its short-depth design and also offers three Ethernet connectivity options (see table below).
Other notwithstanding features of the NCA-4210 include Intel® H110/C236 PCH, two pairs of generation 3 LAN bypass, up to 32GB of system memory via two 288-pin DIMM DDR4 (now at 2400MHz), two USB 3.0 ports, dual 2.5” HDD/SSD drive bays, a PCI-E*8 FH/HL (by project) and three cooling fans.
All in all, both of these high-performance platforms now deliver greatly enhanced processing power and significantly higher throughputs for highly advanced threat prevention services such as IPS, IDS, DPI, and ADP.
