AEU - eNewsletter: Security is everywhere

Security is everywhere

Connecting people all around the world; moving toward more and more e-transaction to buy some goods; accessing huge amount of data located somewhere in the cloud; all those actions have one point in common: they require secure access. The risk is big: losing confidence in this evermore digital world.

Encryption is key!

AES is a US standard and one possible solution to encryption

Used to encrypt traffic data for security reasons.

AES vs AES-NI

–     AES is SW algorithm based  and thus leads to intensive computing   

–     AES-NI(New Instructions)  is 6 new instructions (it offloads some intensive SW calculations to HW)

Benefits

So it’s all about accelerating 3 to 10x AES encryption

More Speed ! More Protection!

For which Application?

Firewall, VPN, UTM, AntiSpam

AES-NI can be found in

–     Intel Xeon families

–     Intel i Cores starting from 2nd generation

–     NOT on Cedar Trail platforms

–     But on next ATOM generation!

AES is offered at the CPU/chipset level. If you need additional encryption capabilities, just add dedicated third-parties network encryption card thru expansion slot available in 1U or 2u racks.

Intel QuickAssist® technology might be available on some CPUs to help accelerating the workload due to encryption.

Available in following AAEON’s models:

FWS-7600/FWS-7800/FWS-7810/FWS-2350/FWS-7350/CRS-100L-2S/CRS-100X-2S/CR-300M-2R/CRS-700M-4R/CRS-720X-2R

Did you know?

FWS-2350 based on 4^th ATOM generation  will be first ATOM platform with AES-NI support.
