(Taipei, Taiwan – August 21, 2024) AAEON, a leader in the fields of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Edge Computing, has announced a strategic partnership with VyOS Networks, a pioneer in providing open-source software solutions for network management and security.

The partnership will see AAEON’s FWS-2280, FWS-2360, and FWS-2365 desktop network appliances chosen as part of collaboration that will see VyOS Networks’ open-source software combined with AAEON hardware, with the aim of expediting the deployment of networking solutions for customers.

AAEON note that the inclusion of VyOS Networks’ variety of networking tools, including routing, firewall, VPN, and monitoring capabilities, make the platform suitable for enterprises of all sizes. Further, the company’s dedication to providing open-source and customizable software to help enterprises build curated solutions aligns with the broader purpose of AAEON’s network platforms to power third-party Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) without the prerequisite of proprietary hardware.

The validation of AAEON’s white box by VyOS Networks allows customers to accelerate the deployment of enterprise and cloud networks for secure and efficient network management, while also benefiting from VyOS Networks’ professional support and consulting services.

“Key characteristics of the VyOS Networks platform, such as the broad network functions, high scalability, and cross-platform support that it offers make it exceptionally compatible with our white box range,” said Chloe Chang, Product Manager with AAEON’s Network Security Division.

“The robust hardware our devices possess, such as multiple LAN, Wi-Fi, 4G and 5G support, redundant power, and integrated Intel technologies can channel VyOS Networks’ software tools to help our customers deploy the networking architecture needed for everything from small home labs to large enterprise networks, cloud environments, and virtual infrastructures,” Chang added.
