Network Appliances from Lanner to Utilize the Next-Generation Intel® Atom™ Processor C2000 Product Family

Online, September 5, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The FW-7551 is a network appliance with a desktop form factor, based on a dual core Intel Atom processor C2000 SoC with 6 GbE ports, customizable with up to 8 cores, and including PCI-E x 8 golden finger. RAM is expandable up to 16 GB on 1333/1600 MHz DIMM (DDR3). With Intel® QuickAssist technology and ECC Memory support, the FW-7551 brings features formerly associated with higher-end networking devices into a more cost-conscious bracket. With optional support for 3 pairs of 2nd Generation LAN bypass ports and 1 2.5" SSD or HDD units, the FW-7551 is a capable device at a competitive price.

For deployment in datacenters and server rooms, the FW-7571 is the rack-mountable version of the FW-7551, offering the same performance and features in a 1U-high standard 19" rack form factor, and a choice of one 2.5" SSD/HDD bay, one 3.5" SSD/HDD bay, or two 2.5" SSD/HDD bays. For extra interface options, the FW-7573 offers all the features of the FW-7571, plus a NIC module bay and a 2 x 12 character LCD module for fast system status and troubleshooting. As a mid-range network appliance with excellent data processing capabilities, the FW-7573 is well suited for deployment in traffic-intensive environments.

Terence Chou, Senior Director of Network Computing at Lanner, said "the FW-7571 is the successor to the FW-7568, and provides choice for customers who need excellent performance with an SoC (System-On-Chip) setup. The FW-7571 and FW-7573 use the Intel® Atom™ C2000 processor family, equipped with features designed specifically for entry-level communications platforms. The FW-7573 is positioned as a 1U rackmount network appliance with DDR3 Memory support and a NIC expansion module for future upgrades and scalability. Its energy efficiency is ideal for entry level to mid-range datacenter applications."

All three products will be on show at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco (10-12 September) as well as the Lanner Network Architecture Seminar in Santa Clara on September 25 2013.
