網路安全硬體平台領導廠商瑞褀電通，宣佈推出輕巧的1U模組機架式通訊設備CAR-3000，提供需要節省成本、並欲轉換至最新科技(例如10G乙太網路等)之中小型企業一個網路安全應用之最佳解決方案。
CAR-3000以英特爾G41及ICH7R晶片組為基礎，提供寬廣CPU支援：從英特爾Q9400 四核心、E7400 雙核心至E5300 Pentium® 及Celeron® 440處理器，支援這其中所有規格之處理器。CAR-3000也支援最新雙頻DDR3 1066/800記憶體平台至4GB；一個3.5˝或兩個2.5˝ SATA HDD或SSD；最多可達六個GbE RJ45網路埠與兩個由軟體控制的bypass (故障開啟或故障關閉)；可延伸包括一個PCI-E x8介面供間隔瑞褀電通ABN模組家族產品；銅纜及光纖埠連接包括雙埠10G網路卡 (英特爾82598EB、英特爾92599ES搭配SFP+介面、英特爾82599EB 10Gbase-T銅纜介面)；2x16的LCD顯示模組選擇包含EZIO-300(搭配4個按鈕)、EZIO-G400(128x32繪圖模組及4個按鈕)、EZIO-G500(128x64繪圖模組及7個按鈕)及可利用於軟體/應用開發之VGA功能。
1U機架式通訊設備CAR-3000為網路安全應用的最佳選擇，例如防火牆、VPN(虛擬私有網路)、IDS/IPS(入侵偵測伺服器)、Anti-Spam(防垃圾郵件)、Anti-Virus(防毒伺服器)、UTM(整合式威脅管理伺服器)；在網路管理的應用方面，例如路由器、遠端監控管理(RAS gateway)、QoS (Quality ofof Service,)、伺服器負載平衡、無線控制、醫療數位影像傳輸協定(Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine, DICOM)及影像擷取與傳輸系統(Picture Archiving and Communication Systems, PACS)，以及透過乙太網路TCP/IP之工業自動化控制。
模組化設計，有效為客戶節省成本
根據瑞褀電通資深產品經理顏志強表示，1U機架式網路伺服器CAR-3000之模組化設計可讓客戶大幅節省成本。“我們盡全力包括所有功能” 顏經理陳述，“因此，我們很自然的就想到模組化設計。瑞褀的客戶至少擁有三種系統配置選擇：基本結構、經由子卡連接內建的PCI-E x8金手指、或客戶自己的第三張卡。我們提供客戶寬廣的CPU選擇，從英特爾雙四核心、多樣化的雙核心至Celeron® LGA-775 處理器，完全可與EID準則相容。”
“但我們不會因此停止” 顏經理繼續表示，“我們利用兩個內建的bypass (故障開啟或故障關閉) 為客戶節省成本。內建的故障關閉功能增加通道運行時間、減少停工期不需要的花費，提供我們客戶最具成本效益的解決方案。然後，” 顏經理補充，“我們藉由將CAR-3000認證準備齊全，幫助我們的客戶擴展其客戶，包括FCC/CE及UL、RoHS/WEEE。因此，CAR-3000立即可應用於國內及國際間。”
各種節省成本的配置
瑞褀電通執行副總黃俊榮表示：“CAR-3000是一個價格與結構配置平衡的產品。除了可輕易擴充，以面對未來的挑Caswell, Inc. a global-leading innovator and supplier of embedded networking appliance, announces CAR-3000, a new compact and modular 1U rackmount Communication Appliance that can be the perfect solution for customers providing network security applications to medium businesses who want to cut costs and make a seamless transition to new technologies such as 10G Ethernet.
CAR-3000, based on Intel® G41 and ICH7R chipset, offers a wide range of CPU support: from Intel® Q9400 Core™ 2 Quad through E7400 Core™ 2 Duo to E5300 Pentium® and Celeron® 440, and everything in between. It also supports the latest dual-channel DDR3 1066/800 memory platform up to 4GB; one 3.5? or two 2.5? SATA HDD or SSD;D;D; up to six GbE RJ45 onboard ports with two software controlled bypass segments (Fail-Open or Fail-Close); expansion capabilities include one PCI-E x8 interface for a modular bay for Caswell's ABN module product family; fiber and copper port connections including dual-port 10G readiness (Intel® 82598EB, Intel® 92599ES with SFP+ Interface and Intel® 82599EB 10Gbase-T Copper Interface); 2x16 character LCD display module options that include EZIO-300 (with 4 buttons), EZIO-G400 (128x32 graphical mo
Modular Design Translates to Customer Cost Savings
Caswell decided to design CAR-3000 1U rackmount network server as a modular form factor in order to help customers maximize cost savings in today's economy. This way, Caswell's customers have at least three choices for system placement: the basic configuration; a daughter card connected via the built-in PCI-E x8 Golden Finger; or their own third-party card. We gave customers a wide range of CPUs to choose from including Intel's Core™ 2 Quad, varieties of Core™ 2 Duo and Celeron® LGA-775 processors, so it's completely compatible with the EID roadmap.
Cost savings by ramping up protection with two built-in bypass segments:Fail-Open or Fail-Close. This built-in fail-over function maximizes uptime for inline gateways, reduces costs associated with unnecessary downtime and provides our customers with a single supplier solution to further streamline their costs. Caswell making CAR-3000 regulatory certification ready including FCC/CE, UL and RoHS/WEEE compliant, which means CAR-3000 can be used both domestically and internationally right out of the box.
Polo Huang, executive vice president of Caswell, Inc.: “CAR-3000 is a product that balances cost and configuration. It's expandable for future changes. Its modular design simplifies cabling. It's ready for the 10G Ethernet solution and can meet the needs of today's most advanced data centers. And it's designed for OEM branding.”當鋪借款
