Security device manages more workloads & consumes less energy

The dual-socket network security device, which supports up to 512GB of DDR4 memory, features four 10GbE ports, eight 1GbE copper ports and eight 1GbE fibre ports. Due to the device's flexible configurability and two third generation PCIe x8 slots, it can be provided with additional performance, storage, and LAN using EXCOM SmartNIC, LAN, and HDD modules. The device can also enable scaling in, scaling up and scaling out of applications. 

Using a common redundant power supply module with 80 PLUS Gold certification, the security device reduces energy waste. According to NEXCOM, the device is approximately 20% smaller than other 19" rackmount network devices on the market. To dissipate heat more effectively, the NSA 7130 device is designed with a depth of 450mm, making it suitable for use in telecommunication environments.

Hadwin Liu, Chief Architect, NEXCOM Network and Communication Solutions Business Unit, commented: “Facing the increasing complexity and surging volume of network traffic created by Big Data and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, NEXCOM has built the NSA 7130 with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 product family and Intel Ethernet Controller XL710-AM2 to pave the way for next-gen networking. The NSA 7130 satisfies the need for dynamic computing and high bandwidth required of massive parallel processing and features high LAN density and modular design. The NSA 7130 is easy to scale, easy to manage, and eco-friendly, helping reduce operating expenditure for enterprises and telecomms carriers.”

“The Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 product family delivers increased performance, energy efficiency, security, manageability, and serviceability,” commented Bill Rollender, Director of Marketing for Intel’s Communications Infrastructure Division. “The Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 product family will enable rapid delivery of services for high performance computing, cloud and enterprise segments and offer new opportunities for telecommunication vendors.”
