Intel NSW1U Product Brief

The Intel® IP Network Server NSW1U provides an unmatched

combination of network port density and CPU performance

in a compact package that is ideal for Services over IP (SoIP).

The NSW1U uses Intel’s most advanced 64-bit quad-core

processor, offering high performance coupled with power

efficiency, to provide improved performance per watt over

previous-generation rack-mount servers.

As an alternative to custom chassis for network security

applications, the NSW1U is uniquely suited for network data

applications with high I/O requirements. With a longer life than

enterprise servers and with many of the features found on

carrier-grade servers, the NSW1U raises the performance bar

for IP network security products by supporting Intel® I/O

Acceleration Technology

1

(Intel® I/OAT), Intel® 64 architecture

2

and Fully Buffered DIMM technology at 533 MHz and 667 MHz.

Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5400 Series

Intel’s newest and most advanced 64-bit quad-core processors —

the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5400 series on 45nm tech-

nology — enable higher levels of performance, power efficiency,

and reliability. These processors incorporate Intel® Core™ micro-

architecture for energy-efficient performance and improved

server density, enabling the NSW1U to optimally balance

processing capabilities within power and space constraints,

and provide operational cost savings. The larger 12 MB L2 cache,

shared by all cores, provides dynamic allocation between the

cores based on application load. This significantly reduces actual

latency when accessing the most commonly used data.

Intel® Virtualization Technology

3

(Intel® VT) allows a platform to

run multiple operating systems and applications in independent

partitions and facilitates remotely upgradeable applications and

operating systems, reducing total cost of ownership.

Intel I/OAT moves data more efficiently through Intel Xeon

processor-based servers for fast, scalable, and reliable network

performance. It significantly reduces CPU overhead to free

resources for more critical tasks, and provides network

acceleration that scales seamlessly across multiple Gigabit

Ethernet (GbE) ports, providing a safe and flexible choice

that is tightly integrated into popular operating systems.

Applications

The NSW1U is suited for a variety of network security

applications such as intrusion detection/intrusion prevention,

firewall, and virus protection. Up to eight Ethernet ports provide

high throughput for applications such as video processing and

IPTV. In addition, data center applications such as VoD, online

gaming, SoIP, and billing may be supported. The NSW1U also

supports manufacturing, industrial, utility, and even military

applications where a rugged, highly reliable server is required.
