Industrial-grade desktop network appliance NCI-200

As more advanced cyber attacks emerge, owners of industrial facilities and energy infrastructures are demanding security systems that are not built with standard operating systems and hardware. To help enterprises and infrastructure owners build up their cyber defence, Lanner is introducing NCI-200, a fanless desktop network appliance designed with Intel Atom C2508, Intel QuickAssist crypto acceleration, rich I/Os and wide operating temperature support to function as industrial UTM, Firewall, VPN and IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) applications in ICS (Industrial Control System) and SCADA.

The desktop network security appliance NCI-200 is especially suitable for small and medium enterprises due to its compact and fanless nature. Driven by Intel Atom C2508 quad-core CPU, NCI-200 delivers efficient performance and power consumption ratio. With the integration of Intel QuickAssist technology, NCI-200 can leverage this hardware accelerator to boost data cryptography, while the main computing power of the CPU is dedicated to firewall related functions.

Built to be industrial grade, NCI-200 can support wide operating temperature from -20degC to 55degC, which enables the system to work under demanding environment. In addition, NCI-200 comes with 4KV ESD protection and 1.5KV magnetic isolation protection for its Ethernet ports. The protections enable NCI-200 to operate under harsh industrial surroundings.

NCI-200 supports DDR3 1333MHz memory up to 8GB with ECC and 4 RJ-45 LAN ports and 2 SFP ports (optional depending on selected SKU). In fact, NCI-200 supports 2 pairs of Gen3 LAN Bypass. The RJ-45 and SFP LAN combination will help increase network throughput when NCI-200 performs VPN related functions. NCI-200 also supports 1 DB-9 serial port for connection with industrial instruments.

Based on these features and designs, NCI-200 can indeed be described as a high-value platform for industrial cyber security.
