IP Network Server NSC2U, featuring the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon®
processors 5400 and 5300 series, provides extended lifecycle support
and improved performance-per-watt over previous generation rack-
mount servers. Due to high I/O throughput and performance, the NSC2U
is an excellent choice for network security applications with large I/O
requirements, including intrusion detection/intrusion prevention, VPN/
firewall, and unified threat management solutions.
The NSC2U features shallow depth, DC power capabilities, and the
ruggedness usually found on carrier-grade servers. It is well suited
for enterprise application acceleration and content caching, and is
an ideal platform for running Telco SoIP, including IMS, IPTV, video
on demand (VoD), SIP application servers, IP-PBX, and IP-PSTN
gateways.
