3COM 3CR990B-LP-97

100 SECURE NIC LOW PROFILE

IPSec and 3DES Encryption at Wire Speeds
Designed for Windows, Linux, and NetWare environments, this low-profile version of the 3Com® 10/100 Secure NIC hardens at-risk systems without impacting network performance. It uses an embedded security processor to offload encryption, authentication, and other cycle-intensive tasks from the host CPU—resulting in optimal system and application response. This innovative 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connection includes intelligent management and server features that help improve network performance, reduce administration time, and lower support costs.
-Secures sensitive data at wire speeds—with DES/3DES encryption, MD5 and SHA-1 hashing, RFC 2402 authentication, and up to 75 Security Associations;
-Hardware-enforced security features meet FIPS 140-2 criteria; NIST approved;
-Upgradeable to the 3Com Embedded Firewall Policy Server (3CRFW020-PS-97) which provides a centrally managed hardware firewall solution.
-Supports larger packets—segments TCP frames for the Ethernet MAC and adds TCP sequence numbers to each packet;
-Uses flow control to reduce lost packets and retransmissions for more efficient data transfer between the NIC and switch;
-Responds to router-based management requests from sleep mode to help resolve IP address-aging issues;
-Includes 3Com Managed PC Boot Agent for pre-OS management, including installation, recovery, and network boot;
