The rapid increase of IoT connected devices leads to the growing complexity of endpoint infrastructure, which demands a more flexible 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 needed appliance solution must include features such as compact form factor, low-powered, multi-core computing, various LAN port configuration, wireless connectivity and hardware-assisted security engine. Powered by Intel Bay Trail and Rangeley SoC platform, Lanner desktop network appliances offer fanless design, 3 to 6 LAN ports, Intel QuickAssist crypto acceleration, 1 to 2 pairs LAN bypass and mini-PCIe for Wi-Fi/3G/LTE connectivity.
