Beefing up hardware solutions for SDN/NFV implementations

Intel QuickAssist Technology and SR-IOV support not only enable hardware-based acceleration services for encryption/compression but also allow different virtual machines in a virtual environment to share a single PCI Express hardware interface, making the NCA-2510 the suitable solution for vCPE, uCPE, SD-WAN and SD-Security on Intel architecture servers.

The NCA-2510’s other outstanding specifications are as followed:

• Five times GbE, four times SFP+ and two pairs of Gen3 Bypass (By SKU)
• Max. 32GB System Memory, two 2.5” HDD/SSD Drive Bays and one mSATA
• One times NIC Module Slot, two USB 2.0 and one PCI-E8 HH/HL (Optional)
• 2 Cooling Fans
• IPMI/TPM/Secure boot

The NCA-1611, another one of Lanner’s NCA Series network appliances, features NEBS-compliance, K.21 certification, desktop form factor and is built with Intel Xeon D-1500 Series CPU (codenamed Broadwell-DE NS).

It is virtualisation-ready, offers eight times LAN ports, two 10G SFP+, up to 128GB (RDIMM) or 64GB (ECC) system memory, Intel QAT and SR-IOV; its Intel QAT runs at 40G, making it the most suitable hardware solution for SD-VPN and SD-Security deployment scenarios.
