Description
Advantech FWA-3260A-01E Network Appliance – 16.9″ Width x 19.7″ Depth x 1.7″ Height – Iron
The FWA-3260 1U network appliance features Intel’s® Xeon® Processor D System On Chip to meet the need for higher core count, larger and faster memory as well as increased IO performance without sacrificing cost efficiency in a compact footprint.With up to 16 Xeon class cores and 1.5MB last level cache per core tightly integrated with DDR4 memory controllers and a rich IO subsystem, the Xeon® D SoC performs extremely well in applications tailored for multicore designs. Besides supporting memory capacities up to 128GB, Xeon® D also brings enhanced reliability and availability features previously only available on high end Xeon® E5 series processors into a midrange appliance footprint. Two integrated 10GE controllers with 128TX/RX queues per port, support for SR-IOV and optimizations for network overlays such as VxLAN and NVGRE as well as high performance PCIe gen.3 interfaces complement the processor subsystem of the SoC.
With an optimized system design the FWA-3260 adds four server class copper ports based on the Intel i350-AM4 Ethernet controller, Advanced LAN bypass capabilities as well as flexible, scalable and high performance port expansion via two PCIe gen.3 Network Mezzanine bays. Support for a PCIex8 gen.3 full height / half length card provides additional flexibility to integrate special purpose IO cards or QuickAssist™ offload adapters such as Advantech’s PCIE-3215.
In the base configuration, the system comes with support for two 2.5″ SATA HDDs/SSDs, two M.2 sockets, LCM, RJ45 console, two USB ports and two additional GbE management ports.
While the FWA-3260A SKU is optimized for highest performance and system reliability supporting redundant, hot swap power supplies, the FWA-3260B is tailored for best cost in entry level applications.
Featuring an optional server BMC in accordance with IPMI2.0, the FWA-3260 supports state-of-the-art remote and lights-out management for increased reliability, serviceability and improved total cost of ownership. Advanced features such as power supply monitoring via PMBus allow the whole platform to be remotely managed. All management firmware can be remotely upgraded using the industry standard HPM.1 protocol, same as the motherboard system BIOS. All upgrades are fail safe and support instant rollback allowing for full system recovery without the necessity for onsite service staff.
The system is FCC,CE,CB,UL,CCC and RoHS compliant.
