Summary of AAEON COLLABORATES WITH INTEL TO DELIVER POWERFUL NETWORK SOLUTIONS: FWS-8600
AAEON and Intel have developed the FWS-8600, a high-performance 2U rackmount network appliance powered by dual 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors. Capable of up to 40 cores and 512GB RAM, this device supports Unified Threat Management (UTM), Software Defined Networks (SDN), and Network Function Virtualization (NFV). It delivers LAN throughput between 300~400 Gbs, ideal for IoT and industrial networks while consolidating multiple network devices into one robust platform.
Parts used in the FWS-8600:
- 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors
- Lockable hard drive bays
- DDR4 memory slots
- RDIMM ECC RAM
- Network virtualization support
- Software defined networking support
AAEON, an industry leader in network security solutions, has collaborated with Intel to deliver a powerful network platform utilizing the latest 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. The result of this effort is the FWS-8600 2U rackmount network appliance, the most powerful network appliance from AAEON yet.
The FWS-8600 network appliance is built to handle powerful network applications, from Unified Threat Management (UTM) to Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV). These features come from the appliance’s 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, offered with up to 20 cores per processor. The FWS-8600 uses a dual processor configuration, meaning users can have up to 40 processor cores powering their networks. The FWS-8600 also features four lockable hard drive bays, and 16 DDR4 memory slots, with support for up to 512GB of RDIMM ECC RAM.
Thanks to the speed and power of 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, the FWS-8600 can support LAN throughput up to 300~400 Gbs, ten times more than typical machines currently available, according to AAEON testing. This means the FWS-8600 can take the place of multiple network devices, simplifying network infrastructure. With support for network virtualization and software defined networking, the FWS-8600 can ensure high bandwidth and high data flow for your networks.
With the power of 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, we can offer our customers a powerful, robust network platform that’s ready to handle the needs of the high data, high speed environment of IoT networks,” said Ulysses Yu, Product Manager of AAEON Network Security Division. “From a dedicated SDN controller, to a hybrid switch system, the FWS-8600 with the 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor can power industrial network and IoT solutions,” added Ulysses.
