It ensures continuous service with 4 hot-swappable fans and a 1200 W redundant CRPS, while IPMI 2.0 and Redfish (1.14.1) support enable secure remote management.

FWA-5082: Advanced SD-WAN and NFV Gateway
The 1U FWA-5082 network appliance, powered by AMD EPYC 8004 series processor with up to 64 cores and a low 200 W TDP, delivers peak performance with energy efficiency. With 12 DDR5 RDIMMs providing high speed, and 4 NMC expansion slots with PCIe Gen 5 for supporting optional Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE, PoE and multi-speed network controllers, it offers excellent integration, scalability, and connectivity in the 1U form factor.

Built for reliability, the FWA-5082 features 5 hot-swappable fans and a redundant CRPS for fail-safe operations, and redundant BIOS/BMC for quick recovery. With IPMI support and Redfish (1.14.1) compliance, it ensures secure, remote management for simplified monitoring and control in gateway applications.

FWA-1081: Cost-Effective Firewall & UTM Solutions in SMBs
The FWA-1081 desktop network appliance is powered by the AMD Ryzen Embedded V3000 series processors, offering up to 3.5 GHz base frequency and support for up to 8 cores/16 threads, making it ideal for intensive single-thread tasks. Despite its powerful performance, it consumes only 45 W, ensuring energy efficiency.

With support for DDR5 memory and up to 18 network connection ports, the FWA-1081 provides flexible connectivity options, including 1, 2.5, and 10GbE interfaces, supporting both copper and fiber connections. It also supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) for easy integration of devices like IP cameras or Wi-Fi APs. Optional LTE/5G and Wi-Fi modules further enhance its flexibility for both wired and wireless networks, making it highly cost-effective by reducing the need for additional network equipment and is the perfect choice for SMBs
