We are excited to announce the Netgate® 8300 powered by TNSR® software, our 100 Gbps+ Secure Router designed for service providers, virtual/remote offices, and businesses embracing edge-to-cloud applications that require extensive routing and VPN aggregation capabilities. This high-performance, secure solution redefines networking with unmatched flexibility, expandability, and scalability. Starting at $4298, the Netgate 8300 delivers exceptional performance at an outstanding value.
The Netgate 8300 features the Intel® Xeon® D-1733NT eight core CPU with integrated Intel AVX-512 acceleration and 16GB of DDR4 memory. The Intel AVX-512 instruction set on the Xeon D-1733NT combined with Netgate's IIMB optimizes VPN encryption and decryption operations, increasing VPN throughput and reducing computational overhead. Enclosed in a 1U chassis with a removable power supply (and optional redundant PSUs) and integrated IPMI/BMC, the Netgate 8300 includes 4x10G SFP+ ports, 4x1G SFP ports, 3x2.5G ports, and support for 1xPCIe 3.0 x8 card and 1xPCIe 4.0 x16 card for additional expansion. Netgate has qualified 25G and 100G NICs for this system, available as optional add-ons or as a separate purchase.
The Netgate 8300 offers an increase of 500% in forwarding and 222% in VPN performance compared to its predecessor, the Netgate 1541. The Netgate 8300 achieves:
*Using iperf3-bidirectional performance testing.
Powered by TNSR software, the Netgate 8300 provides a full suite of routing, VPN, and management capabilities out of the box. Dynamic routing protocols, VRF, VRRP, and policy-based routing enable advanced traffic management scenarios. Support for IPsec and WireGuard, as well as the latest encryption standards, secures site-to-site and remote user VPN connections.
IT automation platforms like Ansible®, SaltStack®, Puppet®, or Chef® can manage the TNSR software configuration on the Netgate 8300 through both CLI and RESTCONF API. These go beyond traditional GUI management techniques to enable speed and multi-instance management orchestration at scale, along with low-cost deployment and automated operation.
