January 7, 2008 - Lanner Electronics released a dual mainboard platform for enterprise-class security and network acceleration applications. The Lanner "Twin Turbo" FW-9100 features an innovative modular design that allows for easy replacement of many components without removing the system from the rack. A 2U rackmount appliance, the FW-9100 supports core network applications like gateway security, load balancing and WAN acceleration (its main target application). And because of its central role in corporate networks, high availability features such as redundant power supplies, fail-over network ports and field-replaceable mainboards ensure uninterrupted network operation.
The "Twin Turbo" FW-9100 consists of a performance-optimized x86 mainboard with support for Intel Core 2 Quad CPUs that handles core network applications, and a dedicated Cavium Octeon MIPS64 multi-core processor mainboard for offloading processor-intensive encryption/decryption and deep packet inspection tasks. The FW-9100 is equipped to handle extremely high throughput required by enterprise-class networks, and provides two front-facing network modules that can be replaced in-rack. This allows for greater flexibility by providing a range of LAN port options that can be easily swapped out to suit the specific network environment. Each of the two modules provides up to 12 LAN ports in a variety of configurations including gigabit copper, SFP fiber and copper or fiber bypass ports.
The Lanner Twin Turbo FW-9100 is available for sample orders immediately.
