The FWA-3220 can scale from entry-level performance using Intel® Celeron® and Pentium® processors to the mid-range segment using Intel® Xeon® E3 series processors, offering an outstanding price/performance ratio with each SKU. In addition to supporting the latest Sandy Bridge microarchitecture enhancements for increased CPU performance, virtualization support and I/O throughput, the Intel® Communications Chipset DH8903 adds hardware acceleration for Intel® QuickAssist technology and 4 integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports. Network Equipment Providers who use the Intel® Data Plane Developers Kit (Intel® DPDK) and Intel® QuickAssist technology will be able to leverage the full range of platform enhancements for packet processing, encryption and decryption as well as data and file compression/decompression.
