NEXCOM Deciphers SMB Cybersecurity Appliance Benchmarks

TAIPEI, Sept. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- NEXCOM, a leading supplier of network appliances, recently compared the cybersecurity capabilities of three different appliances. The winner was DNA 1170, a server-grade desktop, powered by Intel Atom® C5300 processor with embedded Intel® QAT. The DNA 1170 Series features eight 1GbE copper and four 10GbE fiber ports, while a dedicated SKU reserves space to install 5G/LTE and Wi-Fi 6E modules, catering to the increased demand for wireless routing in IoT and FWA use cases.

In the ever-changing world of small and medium-sized businesses (SMB), a solid cybersecurity solution must meet the growing need for better online protection and faster data transfer, at the same time being wallet-friendly. A strong cybersecurity defense is a must, no matter the business' size. Adding encrypted connections to the mix ensures that private data travels safely and keeps snoops out of the loop.

Across three types of benchmarking tests for different cybersecurity applications, including SSL and VPN, advanced CPU encryption, and cipher performance with enabled accelerators, the clear winner was DNA 1170. DNA 1170 stands out in three distinct cybersecurity benchmarking tests, demonstrating superior capabilities compared to RISC- and x86-based alternatives and that it's the ideal choice for SMB security requirements.
