• Advantech FWA-6500 Raises Network Throughput Handling Performance with Intel® Xeon® 5500 Platform
  The Advantech FWA-6500 adds a new performance point to high end multi-core security and network application platforms. With incredible 8-core / 16-threaded performance the FWA-6500 is able to handle massive throughput thanks to Intel’s highest performing extended lifecycle processors to date, the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series.     ›› more

With the introduction of the Advantech MIC-5320 & FWA-6500 supporting the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series, you gain access to a common architecture deploying the latest technology across multiple form factors - AdvancedTCA or Network Server – the best of all worlds. Advantech combines the latest Intel processors, chipsets and 10 GigE controllers with their impressive acceleration and off-load features to provide platforms for the biggest x86 networking performance leap ever.

When it comes to 10 GigE controller choice, you can’t go wrong with Advantech. We selected the Intel® 82599 with its support for Intel® Virtualization Technology for Connectivity (VT-c) to improve overall system performance in virtualized server environments. Intel VT- c includes hardware optimizations that help reduce I/O bottlenecks, boost throughput and reduce latency. These features will be a must to feed the incremental Virtual Machines you can now add to your blade or system enclosure. So for 10 GigE processing settle for nothing less.
