FIDS24MC3 Intel® IXP2400-Based 2.5G Compact PCI Platform

Categories

Hardware and Boards

Product Overview:

The next-generation of multi-service network products must meet the growing users' demand for an integrated solution of packet filter, content inspection and state-checking techniques. In addition to implementing pivotal technologies, such as multi-layer filter and content detection at wire speed, equipment manufacturers must also deliver products that can be easily upgraded with software under stringent time-to-market deadline. This capability is important because it can facilitate the cost-effective deployment of new services without extensive hardware replacement.

Based on Intel® IXP2400 network processor, FIDS24MC3 meets these requirements significantly. Intel® network processor delivers high-performance and is flexible to value-add services because of its powerful parallel and programmable multi micro-engines. In conjunction with FIDS24MC3 SDK, FIDS24MC3 can dramatically meet the requirements of the next generation of Firewall, IDS, Network monitoring, Load balance, Content filter, Traffic statistics, accounting, Protocol analysis and etc.
