SAN FRANCISCO -- Seaway Networks Inc., the award winning provider of high performance network content processing silicon, unveiled for the first time today their StreamWise(tm) NCA2000 family of Network Content Acceleration Cards. Based on the StreamWise(tm) SW5000 Network Content Processor, the NCA2000 family of PCI-X cards enables OEM's to turn a standard 1u/2u rack-mount server into a multi-gigabit, multi-service networking platform.
"Application-security developers using off-the-shelf servers can incorporate the Seaway NCA2000 card to gain order-of-magnitude throughput increases, without having to totally rewrite their applications" said Sanjay Iyer, Senior Analyst of the Linley Group and co-author of A Guide to Security and Content Processors. "The combination of Seaway's SW5000 NCP with general-purpose processors offers the customer an incremental migration path from their existing software implementations, largely preserving the customer's investment in content-processing code."
The NCA2000 delivers advanced network processing, stream switching, content processing and application offload to enable a 10-20 fold performance improvement in Application Firewalls, Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems, SSL Accelerators, Firewall/VPN Systems, Content Switches, or other systems requiring high performance layer 2-7 processing.
"Rather than developing costly custom hardware to achieve their performance and feature goals, our customers can now focus on developing advanced software applications and services to differentiate their product," said Kit Fung, President of Seaway Networks.
