The CAR-6060 is CASwell’s latest 2U rackmount network appliance designed for next-generation cybersecurity, secure networking, and AI-assisted security workloads. The new system leverages Intel’s latest Xeon 6 processors (Granite Rapids-SP) to deliver substantially higher compute performance, expanded memory bandwidth, and increased deployment flexibility.
Designed for OEMs, system integrators, managed security service providers (MSSPs), and enterprise security vendors, the CAR-6060 supports a broad range of Intel Xeon 6 processors, from the 12-core Xeon 6505P up to the 80-core Xeon 6781P, enabling customers to optimize performance and power consumption for applications ranging from branch firewalls to high-performance data center security gateways.
Flexible Network and AI Expansion
The CAR-6060 continues CASwell’s commitment to modular network appliances through support for the company’s proprietary Network Interface Modules (NIN). Customers can choose between two hardware configurations:
- Up to eight NIN expansion slots for maximum networking flexibility and high port density.
- A hybrid configuration combining four NIN slots with two full-height, full-length (FHFL) PCIe 5.0 expansion slots, allowing integration of AI accelerator cards, SmartNICs, FPGA cards, high-speed storage adapters, or other specialized PCIe devices.
Both configurations additionally provide an internal half-height, half-length PCIe 5.0 expansion slot, offering further flexibility for storage, acceleration, or custom functionality without occupying external expansion capacity.
Built for High-Performance Security Workloads
Powered by Intel’s Granite Rapids-SP architecture, the CAR-6060 supports one Intel Xeon 6 processor (Socket E2B / FCLGA4710) with a TDP up to 350W and 16 DDR5 RDIMM slots for up to 768GB of main memory operating at speeds of up to 6400 MT/s. The platform is engineered to handle demanding applications including Next-generation firewalls (NGFW), Unified Threat Management (UTM), Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), SD-WAN security, Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS), VPN concentrators, AI-assisted threat detection and analytics, and network traffic inspection and telemetry.
The CAR-6060 incorporates enterprise-grade reliability and management features designed for continuous operation in mission-critical environments. The combination of Intel Xeon 6 processing power, DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0 expansion, and CASwell’s modular networking architecture enables customers to build highly scalable security appliances capable of addressing evolving enterprise and cloud security requirements.
