Universal Network Appliance with Intel Atom® P5000/C5000 Processor for uCPE and SD-WAN

Tiny Network Appliance with Intel® Celeron® J3355/J3455 for Entry Level SD-WAN and Security Gateway

The FWA-1010VC is an off-the-shelf customer premise equipment (CPE) platform based on Intel x86 architecture optimized for deploying virtual network functions (VNFs) and services in enterprise and small to medium businesses. The platform is primarily destined for communication service providers (CSPs) and enterprises leveraging the advantages of NFV and SDN to replace fixed function systems with an open platform running these functions as VNFs.

While legacy networking solutions consist of tightly integrated hardware and software from a single supplier, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) -based vE-CPE allows for logical and flexible separation of hardware and software. The vertical silos with vendor lock-in are transformed into a horizontal mix-and-match approach that Advantech and key software partners are embracing to allow customers gain maximum flexibility by procuring hardware and software separately.

NFV based software solutions and vE-CPE equipment offer substantial CapEx and OpEx savings by replacing multiple special purpose appliances with a single platform. They also greatly enhance operational flexibility by enabling new and scaled-out services without the need for truck rolls. For example, a CSP can easily close security gaps by updating a firewall service remotely,  virus protection, and spin up a WAN optimization service, all through remote orchestration and without the need to install more hardware. Service deployment cycles can thus be collapsed from months to hours, encouraging CSPs and enterprises alike to deploy these technologies faster to gain an early competitive advantage and reap operational benefits sooner.

Together with tested and certified solutions from key NFV software vendors, Advantech supplies FWA-1010VC network appliances that have been profiled for exact performance and feature sets and are ready for deployment on customer premises.

Available as an Advantech branded or customer branded box,  offers extensive integration and test services prior to packaging and , all according to CSP specifications and software options. A worldwide logistics network offers a flexible delivery model to meet unique needs and  Advantech simplifies both delivery and replacement logistics so that service providers can bring final products to market on time, meet service level agreements and enjoy a timely return on investment.

The FWA-1320 is the latest addition to Advantech’s portfolio of networking platforms based on the Intel® Atom™ processor C2000 family extending the scalability of the Intel® platform for communications infrastructure from high end ATCA based systems all the way down to this desktop appliance. The FWA-1320 can support 2-core, 4-core processor SKUs with or without QuickAssist hardware acceleration providing additional flexibility to Network Equipment Providers to choose a platform which meets their performance/price targets. In addition to supporting up to eight Atom™ cores based on the Silvermont architecture in 22nm technology yielding higher clock frequencies and significantly increased performance gains, the new System On Chip processor features tighter I/O integration and improved IO bandwidth.
On-chip functions include four server class GbE ports and crypto acceleration for symmetric keys, bulk security encryption/decryption and public key functions. The four Ethernet data ports support optional LAN bypass and are complemented by two PCIe based Gigabit Ethernet management ports. Advantech's advanced LAN bypass simplifies bypass control via a common user mode API across the full appliance product range. It is particularly easy to integrate with application software in environments with a single OS as well as multiple OS instances.
System features include one RJ45 console and two USB ports as well as one internally mounted 2.5" HDD/SDD with SATA Gen3 support. A mSATA slot and a USB DOM socket provide options for adding SSDs. A PCIe x4 slot provides further expansion capabilities.
