Lanner announces 10Gbps Fiber Bypass Module

June 4, 2009 - Lanner Electronics released an advanced 10Gbps Fiber Bypass module and two new network appliances. The new 10 gigabit fiber bypass network module allows customers to deliver communication solutions with higher throughput and fewer network cables to meet the ever-increasing demand for throughput capacity in next-generation security and acceleration appliances. The new Lanner 10GbE network module uses the latest Intel Ethernet 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller as its core technology, and provides dual port bypass for high availability in mission-critical network appliances. The 10GbE network module is compatible with Lanner’s FW-8800 series appliance platforms. The Lanner FW-8860 and FW-8875 network appliance platforms target network security and acceleration applications such as UTM, intrusion detection/prevention, gateway antivirus, web filtering, VPN firewall and WAN acceleration. The FW-8860 supports a single Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad CPU with an Intel 3210 chipset in a 1U rack mount chassis. An optional Cavium Nitrox CN1620 security processor provides encryption acceleration for higher throughput in advanced network security applications. The FW-8875 is also a 1U appliance built on the latest generation Intel 5520 chipset and supporting quad-core Xeon 5500 series processors. The Intel 5520 chipset (previously codenamed Tylersburg) brings the latest cutting-edge server grade chipset technologies such as triple-channel DDR3 memory, PCI-Express generation 2 and Quick Path Interconnect (QPI), which replaces the traditional front side bus with a faster communication channel. Additionally, the chipset supports next-generation Intel Xeon 5500 processors built on the Nehalem microarchitecture, which offer 30% lower power usage with the same performance as the previous generation. “As an associate member of the Intel Embedded and Communications Alliance, Lanner is fully committed to developing the latest, most advanced network technologies from Intel. This new 10 gigabit Ethernet module gives customers even more throughput capacity for tomorrow’s most demanding network applications,” said Jesse Chiang, Lanner Network Communications Product Planner.
