Lanner collaborates with Intel to build the next-generation network security appliances powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors with Performance cores (P-cores) and Efficiency cores (E-cores). These hybrid architectures provide distinct advantages for different workloads, particularly for next-generation firewall (NGFW) applications. This whitepaper explores the performance and efficiency trade-offs between P-cores and E-cores when deploying NGFW on the Lanner NCA-6250 network security appliance.

Intel's Xeon® 6 SoC (Granite Rapids-D) introduces a new era of compute with its advanced architecture, high core density, and integrated acceleration, including AMX AI capabilities. This processor significantly enhances performance and efficiency for critical workloads in vRAN, media, and network security.

In the rapidly evolving world of network appliances, innovation is often driven by a need for flexibility, efficiency, and enhanced security. OpenBMC (Open Baseboard Management Controller) has emerged as a transformative technology that addresses these needs, offering a robust open-source solution for managing and monitoring hardware. Here’s why OpenBMC is becoming a critical component in modern network appliances.

In the fast-evolving world of autonomous vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), video analytics plays a pivotal role. From enhancing driver safety to enabling fully autonomous navigation, the ability to process video data in real time is critical. At the core of this capability lies high-performance video camera technology, and GMSL2 (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) cameras are emerging as a game-changer for in-vehicle AI applications.

The increasing power of CPUs and GPUs in modern servers brings with it a challenge: managing the intense heat they generate. Traditional air cooling is struggling to cope, especially in densely packed data centers.  This is where Closed-Loop Liquid Cooling Systems (CLLCS) come in. These innovative solutions offer a highly efficient way to control server temperatures, unlocking greater performance and contributing to a more sustainable future for computing.

As quantum computing evolves, its potential to break traditional encryption poses a significant threat to cybersecurity. Many cryptographic algorithms foundational to today’s secure networks, such as RSA and ECC, could become ineffective against the processing power of quantum machines. This makes transitioning to quantum-safe security a priority, especially for VPNs, which are central to secure communications. Modern network security appliances are paving the way for implementing quantum-safe VPN security, ensuring resilience in the post-quantum era.

The Zero Trust Security Model operates on a simple yet powerful principle: “Never trust, always verify.” It eliminates implicit trust, requiring continuous verification of users, devices, and applications attempting to access network resources. Network appliances are key to effectively implementing Zero Trust, offering advanced capabilities for securing modern, distributed environments.
