Designed for demanding edge computing environments, the Portwell PNSR-5002 network appliance, featuring the Intel Xeon 6 SoC with up to 42 cores at 235W TDP, is equipped to handle complex AI workloads, virtual radio access networks (vRAN), and high-performance computing (HPC) tasks with ease. It supports 2x 100GbE QSFP28 ports, providing high-speed network connectivity for data-intensive applications. It offers all-around security with optional TPM and a bypass function, with the latter available through our PNC seriesof OCP NIC 3.0 network interface cards. The PNSR-5002 excels in applications such as Edge Inference Servers, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), routers, media production, security appliances, storage, and content delivery networks.
