Portwell’s new ANS-9141/ANS-9142 series of compact desktop network security appliances uCPE solutions have been optimized to run SD-WAN, next generation firewall, broadband bonding, network routers, VoIP, and much more.

Boost network performance and security to next level with Intel QAT and DPDK
Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) with Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) designed to enhance SD-WAN appliance efficiency, with higher packet throughput and fewer cables in installation. With integrated Intel QAT and DPDK, the network performance, security and efficiency are optimized in ANS-9142/9141 to be a more powerful and reliable solution.

With this new generation, ANS-9 Series, LED light is adopted in ANS-9142/9141 to better indicate the intensity of Wi-Fi signals. This can benefit users to monitor the status of each ANS system in a more efficient and logical manner. In addition, its compact design can be utilized as a desktop solution or put two ANS systems in one 1U rackmount for applications like data center.

Meets the Increasing Speed Demands of Today’s WANs
“We designed and built the ANS Denverton series to help the small and medium business market segment meet the increasing speed demands of today’s WANs,” says Robert Feng, senior product marketing director at American Portwell Technology, “so we included built-in support for as many as 8 GbE RJ-45 ports. At a mere 203 (W) x 150 (D) x 42 (H) mm, the appliances can be easily wall- or desk-mounted for quick and easy field maintenance. 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.”
