PORTWELL EXPANDS ITS FAMILY OF ANS COMPACT DESKTOP NETWORK SECURITY APPLIANCES FOR SD-WAN APPLICATIONS

New ANS-2141P and ANS-2142P can be powered by PoE+

FREMONT, CALIF. — August 27, 2020 — The new ANS-2141P/ANS-2142P network security appliance from American Portwell Technology, Inc. (https://www.portwell.com), utilizes Intel Atom® Apollo Lake x5-E3930 2C processor (the cost-effective ANS-2141P) and x5-E3940 4C processor (the higher performance ANS-2142P). Portwell’s ANS Apollo Lake series is a compact system designed with up to four CPU cores, up to 10 x GbE ports and PoE+ support. Both appliances are designed and built with SD-WAN (SDN) applications in mind for 5G and IoT devices deployment. Both ANS-2141P and ANS-2142P benefit from Portwell’s ANS Network Associate (AnnA) a user-friendly web GUI interface.

According to Frank Yeh, American Portwell Technology, Inc.’s project manager, AnnA is a user-friendly web tool with a novel designed interface that can help customers manage and deploy all ANS machines. Other features of ANS-2141P/ANS-2142P include support for up to 10 LAN ports; TPM 2.0; 1x M.2 Key B, 1x Mini-PCIe; Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), 4G, LTE (5G ready); 2x SIM slots; PoE+ support; HDMI display; 16GB eMMC onboard; and Open vSwitch (OVS), PoE API software support.

Applications for Portwell’s new ANS-2141P/ANS-2142P series of compact desktop network security appliances include SD-WAN, next generation firewall, broadband bonding, network routers, VoIP, and much more.

PoE+ reduced electrical wiring and AnnA tool eases maintenance
“Think of AnnA as an efficient web tool and user-friendly assistant with a novel designed interface to help manage and deploy your ANS system,” says Robert Feng, senior product marketing director at American Portwell Technology. “AnnA consists of three components: a software switch function that features the ability (a) to turn on/off each port, (b) set up network speeds of 10Mbit/100Mbit/1000Mbit and (c) adjust half/full duplex mode. In addition to reduced electrical wiring, AnnA’s PoE function monitors PoE port health status, such as voltage/current/wattage and also provides an error message warning to alert the network administrator. Finally, using AnnA’s systems check function, customers can smooth out maintenance bumps because AnnA help monitor the health status of the CPU temperature, memory temperature and the system itself in real-time to manage and handle all problem conditions. And as always,” Feng continues, “our customers not only benefit from the most up-to-date technology and features, but they also gain peace of mind from the long lifespan support (7+ years) inherent with every Portwell product.”
