Announcing the Netgate 8200 with TNSR Software

As the holidays approach, we’re excited to announce that our newest high-performance security router – the Netgate® 8200 with TNSR® software – is now available for pre-order! With TNSR software pre-loaded, the Netgate 8200 supports high-speed routing with flexible management for service providers, virtual or branch offices, edge-to-cloud applications, and all businesses that need multi-gigabit throughput. 

What TNSR Software Can Do For You

One of the best kept secrets in networking, TNSR software is a high-speed virtual router solution that combines Vector Packet Processing (VPP), Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), and other open-source technologies to offer over 18 Gbps networking on Netgate appliances. The software addresses the high-performance edge routing, cloud connectivity, and robust IPsec site-to-site VPN needs of businesses and service providers with its incredible throughput capacity, flexible configuration with multi-instance management, and reliable performance. TNSR software is key to unleashing the robust power of the 8200 in a way that pfSense Plus software does not.

The Netgate 8200: Affordable High-Performance

The Netgate 8200 with TNSR software delivers 18.6 Gbps L3 routing, 18.6 Gbps ACL filtering, and 15.34 Gbps AES-GCM IPsec VPN throughput – using iPerf3 traffic as a benchmark. 

It is equipped with an 8-Core Intel® Atom® C3758R CPU with integrated QuickAssist & AES-NI, 16 GB of memory, and 8 independent, flexible WAN/LAN ports – 1 GbE (2), 2.5 GbE (4), and 10 GbE (2) – making it an ideal choice for businesses that need secure, fast routing.

Other highlights include:

• Quiet and Cool: an actively controlled cooling fan integrated into the chassis baseplate which allows the unit to remain uncharacteristically quiet for such a powerful 1U system.
• Energy Efficient: the Netgate 8200 has a low power draw, which makes it more energy efficient than other 1U rack-mounted systems.
• Advanced Management: TNSR software configuration through both CLI and RESTCONF API enables the Netgate 8200 to be managed by IT automation platforms like Ansible®, SaltStack®, Puppet®, or Chef™ - which go beyond traditional GUI management techniques to enable both speed and multi-instance management orchestration at scale, along with low-cost deployment and automated operation.

We are very excited to share this new appliance with you and to announce that the Netgate 8200 with TNSR software is available for pre-order, with an expected delivery date of January 2023!
