NEXCOM và Enea thử nghiệm mã nguồn mở SD-WAN, giải pháp tường lửa

Intel® Network Builders ecosystem partner NEXCOM teamed up with NFV infrastructure software company Enea to develop a test to show SD-WAN throughput for a low-cost server based on an eight-core Intel Atom® processor and a higher-capacity server based on a 14-core Intel® Xeon® D-2177 processor. The companies selected flexiWAN’s open-source SD-WAN software to provide routing functionality. Recognizing the importance of network security at all branch offices, the companies added an open-source firewall pfSense to the test to determine its impact on data throughput.

Branch Office SD-WAN Configurations

Two servers were used in the tests, each with a different capacity and cost. The NEXCOM TCA 5170B uCPE server is a 1U rackmount form factor based on a 14-core Intel Xeon D-2177NT processor. It is designed for high performance virtualized and non-virtualized (bare metal) services at small branch offices and small-to-medium-sized businesses.

The other server used in the test was NEXCOM’s DTA 1160, which is a desktop appliance featuring an eight-core Intel Atom C3758 processor. This CPU is designed for a variety of light scale-out workloads that require very low power, high density, and high I/O integration, including on-premises uCPE featuring routing, switching, data security, dynamic web serving, and more. The Intel Atom C3000 processor is Intel’s third-generation system-on-a-chip based CPU manufactured on Intel’s optimized 14 nm process technology.

TCA 5170B is a verified Intel® Select Solution for uCPE, which means it is optimized for uCPE applications.
