Intel NSC2U User Manual

 

 

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

®

 Xeon

®

 5300 and 5400 series processors, coupling high performance 

with power efficiency to provide improved performance-per-watt over previous-

generation rack-mount servers.  The NSC2U also supports a number of processor 
speeds for the Dual-Core Intel

®

 Xeon

®

 5100 series processors. 

 
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.
