Leading network platform provider AAEON this week announced the release of its FWS-7370, a Rackmount Network Appliance powered by Intel Atom P5300 series CPUs (formerly Snow Ridge). Compatible with the higher end models from the series, the FWS-7370 offers up to 24 cores alongside integrated network and security features like Intel QuickAssist Technology for hardware-accelerated encryption, decryption, and compression of large datasets.
The FWS-7370's standard I/O grants users a total of 12 LAN ports, comprised of four RJ-45 ports for 2.5GbE and four RJ-45 ports for 1GbE—each with one pair LAN bypass, as well as four 10GbE SFP+ ports. AAEON note that the platform's networking capacity can be expanded via NIM slot, which can accommodate either a PoE module for an additional dual 2.5GbE PoE LAN interfaces or extra fiber-based networking ports for extended distances.
Given its server-grade processor support and broad networking capability, the FWS-7370 is a good option for organizations requiring scalable solutions such as enterprise firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and secure web gateways.
The FWS-7370's expansion options include a PCIe slot and an M.2 B-Key, which AAEON notes lend the device to 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) applications, data centers, or for deployment as a central node within mesh network implementations, given its relatively slim 430 mm x 200 mm x 44 mm build.
