We just learnt that the VEGA-3318 has been shortlisted for the IABM Design & Innovation Awards 2017 and we couldn’t be happier. This is going to be an exciting IBC and the great news coming from the IABM will certainly contribute to that. We are very proud to be listed among other innovative and great products and companies and we wish all good luck. Just to give you some background, the VEGA-3318 was launched at NAB 2017 and is a...

If you’re into ultra-high-performance networking gear or you’d like to get a first look at 100G flow processing with silicon photonics, it will be well worth your while visiting the Advantech booth in the Silicon Phonics community at IDF14 (Booth #154). Our IDF showcase there introduces the FWA-6512C, Advantech’s first ultra-performance 2U rack-mount network appliance, powered by four high-end, data center-class Intel® Xeon®...

  IDF opens its doors on Sep 9 and this year the theme is about Developers, Makers and Creators coming together in Intel’s “playground” for innovation. For many of us in the networking business it’s an opportunity to discover (new) ways of designing equipment that can handle 40G and 100G traffic, advancing our NFV strategies and checking the pulse of SDN, perhaps even all three. For those making gear that’s not so...

If you want to test out a quad socket Intel Xeon-based network appliance with 48 cores and sixteen 40G ports with hardware crypto acceleration, now  you can. It’s worth noting that the hardware will cost about the same price as your company car but you might like to know that customers are finding it easier to leverage Advantech’s new remote evaluation services rather than ruin their R&D budgets or wait for the next...

Check out Advantech’s Top-of-Rack (TOR) Switch in the Intel area at the Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI) Showcase in Hall 6. The ESP-9212 open, programmable switching platform  is built on the Intel® Xeon® E3-1265L v2 processor connected to a Broadcom StrataXGS switch processor with six 40GbE ports and forty-four 10GbE ports in a 1U rackmount design. Just what you need to build highly scalable, feature-rich, TOR switches and...

Isn’t innovation in today’s network  accelerating at such an exciting and incredible pace?  Much of  the work  so far has beeen focused on data center traffic engineering with emerging use cases evolving very quickly now in service provider networks. Everyone is talking about Software Defined Networking (SDN) along with Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and these are what are fuelling all the innovation. SDN...
