Advantech Unveils the NMC-6004FBD, Dual-Port 100GbE Bypass Network Mezzanine Card, Alongside the High-End 2U Rackmount FWA-6183 with Dual AMD EPYC™ 9004 and FWA-6172 with Dual 4/5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Network Appliances.

[Taipei, Taiwan, Sept. 23th, 2024] – Advantech, a leading provider of network security solutions, proudly announces the launch of the NMC-6004FBD, a high-speed Network Mezzanine Card equipped with NVIDIA® ConnectX-6 and featuring two 100GbE ports with LAN Bypass functionality. Paired with the high-end 2U rackmount network appliances, such as the FWA-6183 and FWA-6172, powered by AMD EPYC™ 9004 series processors and 4th/5th Gen Intel® Xeon® series, this combination achieves an exceptional 100/200/300/400GbE data transfer speed with up to four NMC-6004FBD cards in LAN bypass mode. This marks a breakthrough in speed, connectivity, security that delivering advanced network performance in most demanding workload applications, such as data center, AI-enable solutions and cloud.

Meet Critical Network Requirements for Cloud and AI Applications

  • Handling High Traffic Volumes: Wide bandwidth accommodates vast data traffic, ensuring smooth, efficient operations and continuous data exchange without congestion.
  • Low Latency Communication: Reduced latency is crucial for real-time applications and services, resulting in faster response times, seamless user experiences, and overall performance enhancement.
  • Scalability: Wide bandwidth and high-speed data transmission are crucial for managing growing data volumes and accommodating increasing numbers of users and devices.
  • Efficient Data Processing: Quick processing, training, and analysis of large data sets are vital for maintaining performance, reliability, and service deployment.

Unparalleled Speed, Connectivity, and Computing Capabilities

The NMC-6004FBD, powered by NVIDIA® ConnectX-6, delivers true 100GbE high throughput with a message rate of up to 215MPPS, ensuring top-tier network performance. It’s built-in inline encryption and decryption to enhances security at every end-point with support for IPsec, TLS, and AES-XTS encryption technologies, also supports a choice of single-root input/output (IO) virtualization (SR-IOV) and VirtIO in hardware. Operating 24/7/365, it ensures high reliability with fiber bypass capability, supporting both normal and bypass modes to maintain network connectivity during maintenance or failures.

To fully meet the demands of high-end applications, Advantech recommends pairing the new 100GbE NMC with our powerful 2U rackmount appliances. The FWA-6183 is equipped with dual AMD EPYC™ 9004 series processors, delivering up to 192 cores for exceptional computational power and efficiency. It also features 16 x DDR5 DIMM slots, offering a 1.5x memory bandwidth improvement over DDR4. Similarly, the FWA-6172 is powered by 4th/5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors with up to 104 cores and 16 x DDR5 DIMM slots, providing a 1.7x memory bandwidth improvement over DDR4.

Both the FWA-6183 and FWA-6172 are designed for future scalability and extensive network integration, featuring 8 x NMC expansion slots with PCIe Gen5, supporting up to 400GbE connectivity with a maximum of 4 x NMC-6004FBD cards in LAN bypass mode. To enhance reliability during network security operations, both appliances are equipped with 4 x hot-swappable system fans and the 1200W reduntant PSU, ensuring uninterrupted service. Their advanced cooling mechanisms and power-efficient designs guarantee optimal performance and significant energy savings.

Enhanced Integration
