Today sees the release of the NCA-1515, a desktop network appliance powered by Intel® Atom® C3000 (codenamed Denverton) CPU.

The NCA-1515 features robust performance and Intel’s QuickAssist Technology, offering cryptographic acceleration and commercial-grade LAN functions in a 231mm x 200mm x 44mm (WxDxH) form factor.

The trends of NFV (Network Function Virtualization) and SDN (Software-Defined Network), as well as the upcoming 5G has driven to revolutionize the networking industry, and Lanner, the global leader in NFV/SDN telecom white-box hardware, has taken initiatives in telecommunication, edge computing, enterprise vCPE, 5G Cloud RAN, and network security virtualization to plan ahead for the emerging trends.

At OpenInfra Days Taiwan 2018(2018/8/7), Max Lee, CTO of Lanner Electronics Inc. will give a presentation about “Edge computing – SD-IoT powered by AI under 5G infrastructure”. The presentation will start with the corporate profile of Lanner, and convey the experience of workload consolidation, software-defined-IoT, 5G and AI implementation in future manufacturing. The goal of the presentation is to encourage industry leaders to team up with Lanner to establish an IoT and AI ecosystem, as a step forward to the future 5G and IoT Open Infrastructure integration and application.

Today sees the release of Lanner’s NCA-5220, a network appliance powered by the Intel® Xeon® E3-2100 processor and the Intel® C246 chipset.

According to industrial forecasts by Gartner, there will be more than 50% of enterprise replacing their edge networks with SD-WAN infrastructures by 2020. The rapid rise of SD-WAN is driven by both economical and technological factors. Futuriom Research expectsthat the growth in SD-WAN technology devices and network service revenues will approach $1 billion in 2019 and reach $1.6 billion by 2021.

 

The road to 5G and IoT can also be considered as a “race-to-zero” competition towards “zero-latency” and “zero compromise for performance”. However, latency cannot be totally removed by software means. Rather, latency elimination and optimal packet rates shall be handled by hardware implementations. Thus, Lanner introduces 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) modules to accelerate “zero-packet-loss” processing, improve load-balancing and achieve real-time ultra low latency for data centers handling high data volume applications such as telecom, CORD (Central Office Re-architected as a Datacenter) and Cloud RAN.

To meet cloud computing and enterprise-grade NFV demand, it’s more important that network appliance with VXLAN offload engine to expand scaling SDN/NFV deployments. VMware, Cisco, and Arista Networks introduced Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) as an approach that successfully addresses this challenge by creating a virtual network that transfers data across existing Layer 3 (IP) infrastructure. By using tunnels between virtual machines (VMs), a virtual L2 network is overlaid on top of multiple L3 subnetworks. VXLAN’s overlay scheme enables cloud-based services to scale without the need to add to or reconfigure existing infrastructure.
