| The CN1620 NHB family of adapters delivers market-leading performance, scalable from 10 Mbps to 6 Gbps of SSL record throughput or Crypto throughput. The multi-function adapter supports SSL offload and IPSec Offload. The adapter also has a flexible multi-protocol support supporting SSL, AES, DES, 3DES, IKE, IPSec, Kasumi, RNG and several others. The software and drivers are most widely deployed and are industry-proven. |
| How prevalent is your adapter technology? |
| The CN1620 NHB Adapters leverages NITROX silicon, which processes over 90% of the web transactions and all the major data centers are powered by NITROX processors. The NITROX technology is well proven and widely deployed. |
| What are the applications for the CN1620 NHB Adapters? |
1. SSL Acceleration for Web appliances
2. VPN Gateways for Linux VPN appliances and Microsoft Forefront UTM
3. Application Deliver Controllers; and
4. Load Balancers |
| Where do I use the CN1620 NHB Adapters? |
The CN1620 Adapters can be used on server platforms that run Web servers and looking for accelerating and offloading SSL connections. By enabling the offload, the servers can free up the CPU for other important application related tasks. |

| Software |
What are the unique features of the Cavium Solution? |
The Cavium software driver provides macro-processing benefits. A typical server takes 20 to 100 instructions to process a typical SSL/TLS handshake whereas Cavium’s solution can perform the complete handshake as a single instruction providing significant savings in CPU utilization and reducing overall system bandwidth. |
What are the software drivers available? |
Support for both Linux and Windows. |
Has Microsoft certified the Windows driver? |
Yes. The driers are WHQL certified. |
What kernel versions are supported? |
2.6.18, 2.6.27 |
Do you support FreeBSD Drivers? |
No. Let us know your interest and the number of cards you need. |
What Web Servers are supported? |
The adapters are application agnostic. Any web server can be used on top of the OS drivers and the OS drivers can offload the SSL record processing. |
