(Taipei, Taiwan - May 19, 2009) Lanner Electronics, Inc., a leading designer and ODM manufacturer of intelligent platforms for network communications, today announced the launch of a new 2U rackmount dual CPU appliance built on the Intel 5520 chipset, and supporting two 5500 series Xeon processors (formerly codenamed Nehalem).

The Lanner FW-8892 targets the high end performance segment of the network security and acceleration appliance market, and offers the latest cutting edge features of Intel’s most advanced processors and chipsets, such as triple channel DDR3 memory, PCI Express Gen 2 and Quick Path Interconnect technology.

"As a member of the Intel Embedded and Communications Alliance, Lanner strives to lead the industry in developing the most advanced hardware platforms on the latest Intel technologies such as the 5500 series Xeon processors and 5520 chipsets," said Jesse Chiang, Product Planner, Lanner Network Communications. "Network security and acceleration solutions demand the highest levels of performance for enterprise-class networks, and performance is what the Lanner FW-8892 delivers."

A 2U rack mount platform, the FW-8892 includes four hot-swappable SATA II hard drive trays along with three replaceable network modules for a combination of up to 24 LAN ports combining GbE copper, fiber and bypass port options. Twelve DIMM sockets support up to 24GB DDR3 memory. High availability features include optional RAID, swappable system fans and redundant 500W power supplies. An optional onboard Cavium Nitrox CN1620 security processor offloads high-level security commands to dramatically increase total system throughput. Target markets include enterprise gateway security, firewall, UTM, WAN acceleration and VPN appliances.

Additionally, Lanner’s unique modular design allows for easy replacement of front-facing network port modules, hot-swappable hard drives, rear-accessible fan assemblies and power supply units. Lanner also provides complete customization and chassis design services to enhance the customer’s brand image.

Lanner will be displaying the FW-8892 at the Interop conference, taking place from May 17 – 21, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, booth #438. For more information, contact a Lanner representative via email at email
