The DM8630 is a compact device with a robust design and metal enclosure, bringing with it the carrier class quality standard that is a trademark of Datacom. Equipped with Intel® Atom® C3000 processors, known for offering high performance with low power consumption, it is specially optimized to run demanding network applications, such as network functions virtualization (NFV), accelerated encryption and advanced routing.

Available in models with different processing capacities and RAM memory (8GB or 16GB), flash memory storage (64GB or 128GB), and multiple Gigabit Ethernet network interfaces, the DM8630 is ideal for environments where performance and reliability are critical.

This mini appliance includes advanced features such as Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which provides additional security for sensitive environments, Quick Assist for cryptographic acceleration, support for AES-NI instructions that improve performance in cryptographic operations, in addition to VT-x/VT-d and SR-IOV technologies that optimize resource use in virtualized environments.

Its integrated AC/DC full-range power supply, with optional redundancy through an external 12V source, ensures high availability in critical applications, especially in environments that cannot tolerate downtime.

What can you develop with the DM8630?

The DM8630 is highly versatile. Here are some practical examples:

• Custom firewall: ideal for running pfSense, OPNSense or other open-source firewall solutions, ensuring effective and customized protection for corporate networks.
• VoIP PABX server: perfect for use with solutions such as Asterisk, providing a robust and secure voice communication system.
• Modular SD-WAN: possibility of deploying virtualized SD-WAN solutions, ensuring flexibility, scalability and low operating costs. In fact, the Network Appliance DM8630 6T model C4RE8M64T has been approved and certified by Versa Networks to operate as Versa 210 in its security services, validating its robustness and reliability for demanding corporate environments.

• Security and monitoring gateway: ideal application for environments that require constant monitoring, advanced security and IoT integration.

Real case: São Paulo Military Police

A practical and successful example of the application of the DM8630 is the case of the São Paulo Military Police. Facing threats from man-in-the-middle attacks on its voice communication system, the PM chose to use the DM8630 as a voice firewall, running specialized software from Mitel. With this, it was able to shield its VoIP communication against interceptions, allowing only secure and authorized connections.

Other organizations that could benefit from this model include financial institutions, healthcare companies, and government sectors, where secure communications are essential. Similar solutions could protect critical data from external threats while maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of transmitted information.
