NETWORK SECURITY APPLIANCES

Network security appliances are evolving to serve the increasing requirement for defense against more complex threats and accommodate the dynamic nature of enterprise technology. The standard L2/L3 firewall is not sufficient. Vendors are adding more comprehensive traffic inspection technology into the appliances.

The more services that get integrated and the more packet inspection that is implemented, the bigger the challenge is for vendors to provide a solution. Security appliances vendors need processors that provide the performance to implement complex traffic inspection and the flexibility to accommodate the dynamic nature of security and ever-changing threats.

The Tilera® processors offer customers the highest performance embedded processors to implement complex and security services with L4-L7 deep packet inspection. With 64 cores of general-purpose cores the Tile processors can run SNORT on 10Gbps of traffic and provide up to 20 Gbps of pattern matching.

The Tile processor is a complete system-on-a-chip with integrated memory controllers and IO, enabling customers to implement a complete system using one processor and replacing multiple processors, ASICs, and FPGA components.
