February 5, 2014 – Axiomtek announced NA-360 network appliance.This scalable1U rack-mountable network appliance system supports a range of CPUs including the single core Intel Celeron 725C, the dual core Intel Pentium B915, Intel Core i3-2115C and the high-end Intel Xeon processor E3 1105C and E5 1125C. The Intel Communications Chipset DH8903CC brings additional hardware acceleration services for efficient cryptographic and compression/decompression which offload the processor for control and data plane processing.
The standard NA-360 comes with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 groups of LAN bypass segments. An easily accessible LAN port module expansion slot allows developers to customize and scale the product based on their solution requirements. The system is flexible and customizable with a PCI Express Mini Card slot and a PCIe x8 slot. Two DDR3 1333 MHz DIMM sockets can provide storage of up to 16 GBand support both ECC and Non-ECC memory types.
The network appliance system also offers storage interfaces featuring two 2.5" SATA HDD or one 3.5” SATA HDD and one CompactFlash socket.
Designed with the ease of implementation as well as accelerated performance in mind, the NA-360 comes with full support for the Intel Data Plane Development Kit (Intel DPDK) and Intel QuickAssist Technology that improves packet processing, encryption and decryption as well as data and file compression/decompression.To enhance reliability, the NA-360 supports LAN bypass function and features BIOS console redirection. There is a front-facing LCD module activity indicator for convenient monitoring of power and HDD activity. The platform also supports mainstream Linux operating systems. The product is suitable for variety of applications including VPN, firewall and security applications, network bandwidth controller, WAN accelerator and surveillance system
