NITROX® III SECURITY PROCESSOR FAMILY
The Cavium Networks NITROX III Security Processor family is fully compatible with the market leading NITROX Security Processor product line.  These new NITROX III processors combine:
  1. The industry's highest performance cryptographic acceleration with the latest security algorithms
  2. Industry leading GZIP & LZS compression
  3. Virtualization support

To provide an ideal platform for the next-generation of security applications.

NITROX III products are software compatible with the Cavium NITROX PX and NITROX Lite family of security processors.

NITROX III processors are highly scaleable and deliver performance ranging from 5 Gbps to 40 Gbps for full IPsec protocol or SSL offload, 1024bit exponent RSA from 35K to 200K RSA operations per second, and 2048bit exponent RSA up to 35K RSA operations per second enabling an optimal solution for applications such as:

  • Application Delivery Controller (ADC)
  • WAN Optimization
  • Cloud Computing
  • Server Offload - Web, Mail, Search
  • Integrated VPN/Firewall appliances
  • UTM Gateway, Routers
  • Load Balancers/L4+ Switches
  • Wireless LAN and WAN equipment
  • Security Telco gateways
  • SAN appliances
  • 3G & 4G/LTE infrastructure equipment

For applications requiring 2.5 Gbps or below see our software compatible NITROX PX family.
