IBASE INA7600 network appliance

IBASE’s INA7600 network appliance is based on two 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (codenamed Ice Lake). The product utilises Intel server-class Xeon-SP CPUs to provide high computing power that is suitable for carrier- or enterprise-level network security applications, such as next-generation firewalls, IPS, DDoS and DPI. In addition, Intel’s QuickAssist Technology on the Intel Xeon-based platform enhances Crypto and compression/decompression calculations through hardware acceleration.

The system has a modular design that allows users to flexibly configure network ports to suit their requirements. It supports up to eight network modules to accommodate up to 64 GbE ports (with or without bypass) in copper or optical fibre cable. To achieve high availability, it is equipped with redundant power supplies and four hot-swappable fans. An optional IPMI 2.0 module provides direct access to server management functions and remote monitoring capabilities.

The product is available in two variants, the INA7600-NIC and INA7600-SHQ, supporting a maximum of 66 and 34 GbE ports respectively. Measuring 438 x 660 x 88 mm, it has 16 DDR4 RDIMM slots that can take up to 512 GB. Standard I/O connectivity and expansion slots include a PCIe x16 slot, an M.2 (M-key) socket for SATA 3.0 or PCIe, an RJ45 serial console, two USB 2.0 and two MGMT ports.
