I. Introduction
Product Description:
The Intel® IP Network Server NSC2U system is the second generation product of 2U
Intel® IP Network Server products, having long product life and 20-inch depth
chassis. This server combines network port density and processor performance in a
compact 2U package. The NSC2U supports a number of processor speeds for the
Quad-Core Intel
with power efficiency to provide improved performance-per-watt over previousgeneration rack-mount servers. The NSC2U also supports a number of processor
speeds for the Dual-Core Intel
The NSC2U is an excellent choice for network data applications with large I/O
requirements, while providing extended lifecycle support, DC power capabilities,
compact form factor, and the ruggedness found on carrier-grade servers. Ideal for
network security, it is an excellent choice for intrusion detection/intrusion
prevention, VPN/firewall, and unified threat management solutions. In addition, it
is a valuable platform for running Telco SoIP, including IMS, IPTV, Video on Demand
(VoD), SIP application servers, IP-PBX, and IP-PSTN Gateways. Other network
applications well-suited for this platform are enterprise application acceleration and
content caching.
