NAR-5071, giving you connectivity of up to six 64-bit Gigabit Ethernet!


Taipei, Taiwan - December 19, 2003 - The incessant advancement in the speed of processor side bus of Intel® Pentium® 4 processor powers users up with unparalleled performance, especially when integrating with Gigabit Ethernet. However, the choices of 64-bit Gigabit platforms that exploit the superiority of Pentium® 4 processor capability are scarce on the market. To satisfy the market need, Portwell introduced a 64-bit/133 MHz wire-speed Gigabit Ethernet based platform, NAR-5071, to provide the best solution to communication appliance and network security market.

Following the exceptional connectivity of the previous version, NAR-5070, this new NAR-5071 is enhanced both in bandwidth handling and applications. In addition to the PCI-X tunnel design, NAR-5071 adds four more 64-bit/66 MHz Gigabit
Ethernet ports to provide a total of six 64-bit Gigabit Ethernet ports. Among the existent Intel® Pentium® 4 processor based communication platforms, NAR-5071 is the one that gives you the highest networking performance.


In VPN applications, users make much of their encryption and decryption features. For encrypted/decrypted data, higher transmission speed is required. Featuring a PCI-X expansion slot, NAR-5071 allows the plug-in of VPN accelerator card or other cards that need no external port. Built on the dual bus architecture, the PCI and PCI-X expansion slots are separated in NAR-5071, enabling the expansion cards to operate independently at no sacrifice of speed hold down.

NAR-5071 is incorporated with a 250W power supply. It also received the CE/FCC/UL safety certification. On the basis of complete product design and system verification, NAR-5071 serves as a stable, reliable and complete integrated hardware platform, allowing our customers to minimize their efforts and market their products first.

In summary, NAR-5071 offers:
   

Expandable Ethernet ports from 3, 5 or 7

PCI/PCI-X expansion supported
Support CompactFlash and Disk-on-Module (DOM)
OS: support most updated Linux
Front access for user-friendly maintenance
Load factory-default mechanism
2x16 LCD/keypad for friendly installation and operation interface
