Enhancing Network Edge Security with Flexible Solutions - Lanner Electronics | Network Appliance | uCPE SD-WAN| MEC Server | Intelligent Edge Appliance

The rapid increase of connected devices leads to the growing complexity of network infrastructure at the edge, which demands a more flexible network appliance that not only protects the network edge by offering security measures such as VPN, intrusion protection, content filtering and data encryption, but also offers a quick, easy-to-implement solution with efficiency in size, performance and power consumption.

The Intel Atom Processor C2000 Series

The Intel Atom processor C2000 series, codenamed “Rangeley”, addresses the need for building efficient entry to mid-range security appliances to safeguard the network edge. Based on the Silvermont microarchitecture, these processors deliver up to six times of the energy efficiency and up to seven times of the performance, compared to the previous Atom predecessors. (See our Whitepaper for details) Under “Rangeley” generations, Intel Atom processor C2000 series comes in a 64-bit systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) in two-to-eight core designs, offering high level of integration in packets processing and crypto acceleration. The followings are additional value-added features provided by the processor:

Intel QuickAssist Crypto Acceleration

Intel® QuickAssist Technology employs a hardware-assisted security engine designed to optimize the security applications, such as cryptography, data compression, and pattern matching. This engine works to reserve processor cycles for application processing, and that in turn not only relieves CPU burden but also improves overall system performance. Intel® QuickAssist Technology, made integral to the Intel architecture, aims to address the demand for hardware appliances with built-in security processing and to obviate the need for 3rd party co-processors.

Intel® DPDK Packet Processing Acceleration

Intel Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) manages communication workload consolidation for hardware appliances built with the Intel® architecture, making application developer to accelerate network packet processing performance by 3 to 4 times.

Intel Virtualization for Efficient Resource Management

Flexibility in workload management is especially vital for an all-in-one network edge security appliance. Intel Atom processor C2000 series is coupled with the Intel Virtualization (VT-x and VT-d) enabled chipset, which manages multiple workloads in a virtualized environment. This technology provides flexibility in computing resource management, especially when high computing power required for specific security applications.

Lanner Solutions

Lanner Electronics has developed a series of entry-to-mid range communication appliances based on the Intel® Atom™ processor C2000 product family. By unifying computing, networking, management, virtualization, and security capabilities in integrated hardware architecture, these appliances work as multi-services network edge controllers for applications such as firewall, WAN optimization, CPE gateway and wired and wireless management in retail, SMEs, factories and other small area network environments.

The table below lists the Lanner’s Intel Atom C2000 based network security appliances. These platforms vary in form factor, CPU power, port density and LAN bypass function.
