Advantech FWA-6500 Network Acceleration Platform

Turnkey development kit cuts time to begin application development from weeks
to minutes

Advantech has partnered with Wind River to provide a development kit that enables developers to begin application development within minutes of opening the box. The kit provides a technically comprehensive platform to address complex network platform development requirements.

The embedded development kit includes a bootable USB flash drive that immediately turns the host platform into a fully integrated development environment (IDE), with absolutely no installation required. Each kit comes with a pre-flashed, 30-day run-time trial version of Wind River Linux and WindRiver's Network Acceleration Platform software.

IA DataPlane Reference Kit streamlines packet processing performance evaluation

Advantech’s FWA-6500-WRS network appliance based on Intel® Xeon® 5600 processors and pre-configured with Wind River’s Network Acceleration Platform (NAP) delivers a fast-to-deploy, highly scalable reference kit, easily upgradeable to future Intel® Xeon® iterations and higher bandwidth Ethernet controllers. The kit consists of a turnkey system with a scalable port mix using the latest Intel® LAN chips (multiple GbE and 10 GbE ports) and a comprehensive networking software development package for packet acceleration.

Using PCI-Express technology, the FWA-6500 provides four front accessible expansion slots for I/O expansion using NMCs.
With a wide range of available NMCs, the FWA-6500 is capable of offering multiple Ethernet configurations in a single box to meet the majority of networking application needs. The Reference Kit is delivered with two NAEM-1001’s, leaving two slots free.

Optimize Packet Processing Throughput with Advantech Intel® Xeon® 5600 Series Solutions Enabled by Wind River’s Network Acceleration Platform

Multi-core packet processing is poised to bring significant performance enhancements to the entire range of networking devices from the network core to the end-user. Advantech is at the leading edge of multi-core networking platform design and manufacturing with a scalable range of blades and systems based on Intel architecture enabling OEMs to build breakthrough solutions for enterprise, data center and carrier networks. Wind River’s Network Acceleration Platform creates a new paradigm for packet processing and when optimized for Intel® Xeon® multi-core processor systems delivers a high performance platform for remarkable gains in packet processing throughput and efficiency.

Integrated MIC-532X Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 Series Blades

Advantech’s MIC-5320 and MIC-5322 are single and dual processor Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500/5600-based ATCA blades. They enable the performance available in an ATCA form factor with up to 12-cores and 24-threads of processing power, low DDR3 memory latency, fast PCI Express 2.0 bus and accelerated virtualization. The Intel® 82599 10 GbE controller plays a key role in end-to-end network performance and throughput to improve the entire data path with multi-core optimized queue support. For fast and secure applications, the blade supports up to 48 GB of triple channel DDR3 with ECC. The flexibility of the Intel® Xeon® 5600 Series allows tremendous upgradability, scalability and cost efficiency options.

FWA-6500 Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 Series OEM-Ready Network Server

The core system design is the same as the MIC-5322, providing the highest performance possible with flexible and scalable port densities. This simplifies portability of applications between the FWA-6500 and the ATCA-bladed environment. The key element for optimized network connectivity is the Intel® 5520 IOH which provides 36 PCI-E Gen2 lanes with direct connect to the Intel-based Ethernet controllers on the front pluggable, field replaceable Network Mezzanine Cards.

Network Flexibility - Up to 8 x 10GbE or 32 x GbE

The FWA-6500 offers any combination of four front loading Network Mezzanine Cards (NMC) including:

•	2-port SFP+ 10GbE NMC
•	4-port RJ-45/SFP GbE NMC
•	8-port RJ-45/SFP GbE NMC

The system deploys the latest Ethernet controllers from Intel with built-in Intel® Virtualization Technology VT-x & VT-d and Intel® I/OAT. Smart configurability allows the internal motherboard and I/O modules to be independently upgraded allowing OEMs to cost effectively adapt platforms to meet a wider range of customer performance and connectivity needs. The system is space-optimized for two 2.5" SATA drives and two PCI-E add-on cards. IPMI 2.0 is fully integrated into the system for remote management, maintenance, and diagnostics.

Advantech’s platform approach allows OEMs to scale their solutions across a range of appliances, ATCA blades, and systems, based on a common Intel architecture for seamless, multi-core software enablement
