Feb 24, 2025, Taipei, Taiwan – Lanner proudly introduces the NCA-6250, a cutting-edge network security appliance powered by the latest Intel Xeon 6 processor with P-cores. Designed to handle the most demanding AI-driven network workloads, the NCA-6250 delivers exceptional performance for next-generation firewalls (NGFW), deep packet inspection, AI inferencing, and high-speed content delivery.

The NCA-6250 features dual sockets for Intel Xeon 6 processors with P-cores, delivering unparalleled processing performance for enterprise-grade security. With up to 128 cores per socket and 96 lanes of PCIe 5.0, the Intel Xeon 6 processors offer up to 5.82x higher NGFW performance*. This makes the NCA-6250 an ideal platform for compute-intensive NGFW services such as deep packet inspection, advanced threat detection, and proactive prevention of cyberattacks.

Designed to excel in network AI applications, the NCA-6250 integrates hardware accelerators, including Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel AMX), Intel QuickAssist Technology (Intel QAT), and Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX). These accelerators and features enable the platform to meet the rigorous demands of modern network and platform security, cryptographic acceleration, and high-speed data processing.

With dual PCIe expansion slots, the NCA-6250 supports mainstream GPU or FPGA cards, providing the computational power required for real-time AI inference. This enables advanced deep learning capabilities for detecting cyber threats, identifying anomalies, and mitigating zero-day vulnerabilities through a comprehensive process of data collection, AI model training, real-time detection, and continuous learning.

Lanner Introduces the IAC-PTL301A Smart NIC

In addition to the NCA-6250, Lanner unveils the next-generation Smart NIC IAC-PTL301A, inspired by the Intel NetSec Accelerator Reference Design. It features an Intel Xeon 6 SoC powered by the Intel Ethernet E830 Controller. Equipped with Intel QAT, the IAC-PTL301A delivers hardware offloading for critical network security tasks, including AI, encryption, decryption, compression, decompression, and packet inspection.

With its industry-leading performance, scalability, and advanced AI capabilities, the NCA-6250 is a game-changer for organizations looking to elevate their network security infrastructure to meet modern challenges.

"As AI-driven security and cloud-native network functions continue to evolve, organizations require a high-performance platform that can stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Powered by the Intel Xeon 6 processor with P-cores, the NCA-6250 delivers exceptional throughput and hardware acceleration, redefining network security performance for next-generation firewall (NGFW) workloads, deep packet inspection, and AI-powered threat detection." – Jeans Tseng, CTO, Lanner Electronics.

“As organizations engage AI to generate more intelligence and value at the edge,  it is imperative to provide advanced security  to help protect corporate assets,” says Bob Ghaffari, vice president and general manager, Enterprise Cloud Networking Division at Intel. “Lanner’s newest network security appliance leverages the best features our newest processor and other Intel technologies, providing Lanner’s customers with a powerful platform for high-value, AI-driven network workloads.”
