2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processor-based Network Appliance

delivers blazing fast network packet throughput for enterprise
security applications.

(January 6, 2011- Taipei, Taiwan) Today,

Lanner Electronics announced the launch
of the FW-8870, its first network security
appliance to support the 2nd Generation
Intel® Core™ processor family, formerly
codenamed “Sandy Bridge.” The FW-
8770 delivers a host of new features in a network appliance including generation 3 bypass,
IPMI and amazing port density for a 1U appliance.

“The Intel® Q67 Express chipset allows for quicker packet throughput while using less energy,”
said Terence Chou- Lanner’s Network Appliance Vice President. “When coupled with the 2nd
Generation Intel® Core™ processors, the chipset allows the FW-8770 to be our first
mainstream appliance with 16 GbE LAN ports. The Intel processors also have new Intel® Turbo
Boost Technology 2.0 and power sharing enhancements which helps our appliance to have
increased performance by dynamically scaling frequency while reducing power consumption.”

“The 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processor family utilizes a new microarchitecture that
delivers significant improvements in performance, platform security and manageability, while
still maintaining the extended lifecycle support our embedded customers have grown to depend
on,” said Matt Langman, director of product marketing, Intel Embedded Computing Division.

The 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processors support 1333 MHz DDR3 Memory and Intel®
Hyper-Threading Technology. The FW-8770 comes with a LGA 1155 socket and is compatible
with the dual-core Intel® CoreTM i3-2120 processor at 65 watts and the quad-core Intel®
Core™i7-2600 and Core™i5-2400 processors at 95 watts.

The breadth of the FW-8770 network ability is the key to being a next generation platform. The
1U platform features up to 16 GbE LAN ports- 8 of which are onboard and another 8 which can
be added via a Lanner Ethernet module. The 8 onboard ports offer 4 pairs of Generation 3
bypass, which is able to pass network signals even when the platform is being powered on.

This appliance has 4x 240 pin DIMM slots which allow for up to 16GB of memory. It has room
for 1 x 3.5” Hard Disk Drive or 2 x 2.5” hard drives. There is an onboard CompactFlash (Type II)
