Puzzle: Modular Network Appliances for Virtual Networking

IEI Integration Corp. presents Puzzle, the new series of modular Network Appliances for virtual networking. Puzzle provides solutions based on both X86 and ARM platforms: The X86-based systems integrate Intel 8th generation Coffee Lake CPUs or AMD EPYC R-Series CPUs. The ARM based architectures feature Marvell, NXP or Cavium System on Chip.
Puzzle provides up to four expansion slots PCIe X16, PCIe X8, PCIe X4 and PCIe X1, ensuring the ability to integrate cards such as GPUs, FPGA Accelerators and VPU Accelerators, allowing the system to operate AI processes in the forms of inference and deep learning.
Puzzle modularity is expressed through the presence of up to two slots for PulM networking modules, which offer the possibility to expand selectively the connectivity of the entire device through the addition of modules with RJ45 ports, Socket SFP+ and Fiber Ports.
Puzzle is therefore the optimal solution to support proprietary network equipment and uCPE (Universal Customer Permise Equipment), ensuring high scalability, high computing capacity, modular connectivity and excellent possibilities for expansion via PCIe standards.
