Portwell offers CAD-0205 desktop network appliance

The CAD-0205 has a compact footprint - approximately half the size of a sheet of A4 paper - allowing it to be placed anywhere in an office.

It supports four GbE ports and two pairs of bypass segments.

The CAD-0205 is able to support one 2.5in HDD and up to 2GB memory.

Other features, including one RJ45 console port, dual USB ports, one Mini PCIe slot and VGA, are supported.

The company said its CAD-0205 is suitable for entry-level network security applications, including UTM, IDS/IPS, content filtering, anti-virus and firewall.

It can also be used as a router/switcher and other non-security-based applications, such as VPN, load balancing, network monitoring and QoS.

CAD-0205 allows network application customers to consolidate solutions and reduce development cost.

The systems are said to provide network application customers with a high-performance-per-watt solution.

The Intel Atom processor N450 delivers strong performance for packet transmission and enables a space-efficient, two-chip platform design, making it ideal for network application developers.

In addition, it has low power consumption and IA-64 architecture for software programming.

Compact in size (7.5in W x 5.9in D x 1.65in H), CAD-0205’s maximum power consumption is less than 30W.

Moreover, it is both China and EU RoHS and also Reach compliant.

CAD-0205 supports DDR2 667 non-ECC memory up to 2GB, four Gigabit Ethernet ports with two pairs of bypass segments through PCI-E x1 interface based on Intel 82583V Ethernet controllers, different storage devices such as 2.5in HDD or SSD (solid state drive) via serial ATA and CF (Compact Flash), one slot for PCI Express Mini Card supporting both PCI-E x1 and USB 2.0 connectivity, dual USB ports, one RS232 console through RJ45 interface and semi-cut holes for VGA connector and wireless antennas.

With front LED and rear I/O access, it is easy to customise the panel and case.

CAD-0205 is an ideal platform solution for network security such as Firewall, VPN, IDS/IPS, anti-spam, anti-virus and UTM; network management such as routers, RAS gateways, QoS, wireless controllers and streaming.

Other applications include medical DICOM and PACS, and industrial automation control via Ethernet TCP/IP.

In addition, the CAD-0205 can function as a security hardware platform that meets the requirements of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX).
