Intel released a joint white paper today covering multi-access edge security written together with Network Builder partners Advantech, Casa Systems and Wind River. Entitled “Virtual Security Gateways at Network Edge Are Key to Protecting Ultra Broadband Mobile Networks”, the paper describes how combined technologies from the four partners create a virtualized security gateway with real-time processing even for small packets...

If you’re into ultra-high-performance networking gear or you’d like to get a first look at 100G flow processing with silicon photonics, it will be well worth your while visiting the Advantech booth in the Silicon Phonics community at IDF14 (Booth #154). Our IDF showcase there introduces the FWA-6512C, Advantech’s first ultra-performance 2U rack-mount network appliance, powered by four high-end, data center-class Intel® Xeon®...

If you want to test out a quad socket Intel Xeon-based network appliance with 48 cores and sixteen 40G ports with hardware crypto acceleration, now  you can. It’s worth noting that the hardware will cost about the same price as your company car but you might like to know that customers are finding it easier to leverage Advantech’s new remote evaluation services rather than ruin their R&D budgets or wait for the next...

Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco kicked off today with another new wave of announcements. After Advantech’s introduction of a new range of entry-level appliances in unison with the Intel Atom processor C2000family launch last week , today’s news addresses the other end of the spectrum, the spot where very high-end networking gear screams out for all the performance it can get – lots of cores and lots of 10G/40G...

Today Intel introduced their brand new system-on-chip naming it the Intel Atom Processor C2000. When you study its specs you’ll understand why we think it opens a new chapter in how to design cost effective entry-level embedded networking and communications gear. It will most certainly create a compelling event for both network appliance and cybersecurity vendors alike as it gives them an opportunity to shift gears faster at the entry...

As I review the week long RSA 2013 conference results, a couple of things stand out for me. First, it was another ‘record attendance’ number with over 24,000 attendees and the event featured over 360 companies from the cyber security industry. Given the growing sophistication of highly visible attacks not only on business and government websites, but now on media such as Twitter and on mobile devices, is it any wonder that the emphasis...
