With this partnership, AAEON’s desktop uCPE white box solution, the FWS-2365 has received certification from flexiWAN, allowing customer and vendors to leverage a wider selection of network equipment for the implementation of third-party VNF applications.
The FWS-2365 is designed to deliver a flexible and powerful uCPE solution for SD-WAN and Edge networks. Powered by the Intel® Atom™ C3000 series (formerly Denverton) and supporting 4 to 16 core processors, the FWS-2365 is designed to deliver high-bandwidth networking while enabling clients to take advantage of built-in technologies including Intel SR-IOV, Intel® AES-NI, and Intel® QAT to enable fast, encrypted networking for data security. The FWS-2365 also supports zero-touch provisioning for even easier deployment and setup.
