NEXCOM has launched a flexible architecture network security platform NSA 5130, which can be scaled to fit into full range of applications. In pursuit of various different vertical market segments, network security vendors require scalable platforms which are suitable for both entry-level and high-end applications, in response to these demands, Nexcom has unveiled the NSA 5130; a unique network security platform which features expandable port density and functionality, to fulfill a multitude of application requirements.

Network security platform NSA 5130 can be configured with eight to sixteen GbE ports, 10GbE fiber ports with LAN module, and one PCIe card to give network performance an extra boost. Computing performance can also be modified with a wide range of processors including Intel® recently launched Xeon E3 family, 2nd generation Core™, Pentium®, and Celeron processors.

NSA 5130's scalability can help vendors optimize the combination of port density and computing performance based on application requirement and service capacity. It can be used in port hungry virtual private network, adapted for CPU-demanding Antispyware, or turned into a VoIP gateway with telephony card. It can be a cost-effective model for lower-end market segments and also be transformed into a premium platform chasing high-end market opportunities.

With single platform strategy, vendors can address different markets with an accelerated time to market. The strategy also saves vendors from future disarray. With NSA 5130 at the heart, network complexity can be reduced, and maintenance can be kept simple and easy. NSA 5130 also facilitates network upgrade for vendors, allowing them to quickly respond to growing market demands.
NSA 5130 also features extra flexibility. In addition to 8+8 GbE ports, the network security platform has DDR3 memory up to 16GB, one CF expansion slot, one 3.5 SATA HDD, and one PCI expansion slot. NSA 5130 can also be tailored for SSL, xDSL card, or Wireless card.
