Models and Licenses

The nScrub software comes in two versions, 1G and 10G. Each version comes in various flavours (S/M for 1G, L/XL/XXL for 10G) depending on speed and number of target servers that nScrub can handle.

The 10G version includes support for multithreaded packet capture and processing, with an internal architecture able to balance the load across multiple threads in a zero-copy fashion. This version can handle rates above 10 Gigabit.

Please find all nScrub flavours in the table below.

	S	M	L	XL	XXL
