AAEON FWS-2365 (Intel Atom® C3558, 6* GbE, 4* 10G SFP+)

The FWS-2365 desktop network appliance is a white box solution designed with a range of powerful features for applications including uCPE and SD-WAN. The system supports 5G connectivity and up to four SFP+ Fiber 10 Gbps ports and a range of powerful tools and function to accelerate deployment of SD-security, QoS and other SDN/NFV applications.

The FWS-2365 is powered by Intel Atom® Processor C Series (formerly Denverton) with support for processors from four to sixteen cores, delivering performance to power more functions. With the Intel processors, the system supports vital performance acceleration tools including Intel QAT, SR-IOV, AES-NI, Virtualization Technology and DPDK. The FWS-2365 also supports TPM and Secure Boot to help maximize data and system security.

The FWS-2365 is built to deliver faster network speeds and higher throughput with up to four SFP+ Fiber 10 Gbps ports, and up to six copper Gigabit LAN ports, two of which can be upgraded to SFP. The FWS-2365 supports LAN Bypass functionality to provide uninterrupted connection and service.

The FWS-2365 supports up to three wireless expansion cards and six antennas, utilizing a combination of cards including Wi-Fi, 4G and 5G cellular communication. This allows for greater support for IoT connected devices and leverages the benefits of 5G to enable more flexible network structures.

The FWS-2365 is easy to setup and configure for a range of NFV functions such as firewall and router, as well as VPN. The FWS-2365 also supports Zero Touch Provision (ZTP) to make deployment, setup and network authorization even easier for communications service providers (CSP). The system also supports remote console connection for more flexible system management and monitoring.

The FWS-2365 is certified for use with flexiWAN, the leading pioneer in open source SD-WAN software, enabling deployment of open, flexible and modular network structures to deliver a wide range of networking applications for secure SD-WAN. flexiWAN offers a comprehensive, centrally managed open-source SD-WAN solution, which allows for third party networking applications to be loaded and run thanks to their application framework including tools such as flexiEdge and flexiManage.

Clients and service providers are able to leverage this capability to deploy an SD-WAN solution which meets their specific needs and lowers the cost of ownership by focusing only on the required capabilities. The open and modular design of flexiWAN allows service providers to offer services in line with their networking strategies, while also delivering flexibility to add on third party applications and future proof networks.
