Today sees the launch of Lanner’s NCA-4030 and the NCA-4035 are both 1U rackmount network security appliances powered by Intel’s Xeon® D-1700 LCC & D-2700 HCC multi-core 10nm processors (codenamed Ice Lake D).
Bot appliances can be configured with Intel QAT and are capable of supporting up to 256GB or 128GB of system memory and a maximum of 20 or 10 cores, compared to just 16 in the previous generation. These platforms are ideal for applications in networking, 5G, uCPE SD-WAN, SASE and IIoT Edge computing as their outstanding features deliver improvement in packet processing performance and network scalability in virtual network functions.
While the NCA-4030 and the NCA-4035 share a few features, they do differ in the following specs.
- Intel® Xeon D-1700 4~10 Cores Processor
- 4x DDR4 2933MHz, Max. 128GB
- 4x 1G RJ45, 1x 2.5G RJ45, 1x 1G RJ45 (LOM), 4x 10G SFP+
