IEI Puzzle IN004
PUZZLE Series Server Class Network Appliances Offer an Array of Choices for Powerful and Versatile Configurations based on Intel® Xeon® D Processors, Robust Network and Storage Technology
Proprietary networks and uCPE (Universal Customer Premise Equipment) bring requirements for real-time software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) services with additional virtual network functions (VNF) services. Smarter, high-performance network interfaces are vital to upgrading today’s network solutions to satisfy various network demands.
Increased needs for networking and data center performance impose overwhelming overhead on CPU cores as compute virtualization, software-defined storage (SDS), and hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), and other network applications magnify the demands as they create more east-west traffic.
The iEi PUZZLE-IN004 gives users options to meet such demands. The series brings ultimate choices for a robust 1U platform. The advantages and platform details for the PUZZLE-IN004 are below.
PUZZLE Series Advantages
Standard Hardware
Service providers simplify customer site deployments by using a panoply of dedicated appliances with VNFs running on a single universal platform.
Flexible
The uCPE helps service providers and their customers from suffering hardware vendor lock-in. It creates the flexibility of manageability through NFV.
Lower CapEx & OpEx
Reduce the consumption of CapEx and OpEx including for management time and effort, maintenance and contracts or software licensing.
Open Source Software
Open source software such as pfSense® and OPNsense®reduces time to market and the risk of vendor lock-in.
Lower Power Consumption
uCPE can run several VNFs to build up a network environment instead of running several physical network appliances. Running an uCPE can save energy.
Various Solutions
The true value of openness comes from being able to combine a mix of open source and proprietary software components to deliver an innovative service.
