As the global cybersecurity landscape rapidly evolves, securing enterprise networks and cloud infrastructure has never been more critical. Leading network computing and security platform provider, AAEON, is set to address these challenges head-on at the highly anticipated RSAC 2026 Expo.
Taking place next week from March 23 – 26, 2026, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California, the event will gather top security and networking professionals from around the world. Here at AarokaTech, we are closely monitoring the innovations slated for this event, as AAEON prepares to showcase an impressive array of new hardware designed for elite network protection.
Compact Power: The FWS-2291 Desktop Network Appliance
AAEON’s diverse lineup begins with its highly efficient Desktop Network Appliance series. A key highlight will be the FWS-2291, a robust platform powered by the Intel Atom® x7000C/RE processor series.
Designed for edge security and small-to-medium enterprise deployments, the FWS-2291 holds the distinct advantage of hosting a powerful combination of connectivity options. It features four 2.5GbE RJ-45 copper ports and two GbE SFP ports, alongside two pairs of LAN bypass. This configuration ensures high-speed data routing and reliable failover protections in a highly compact form factor.

Heavy-Duty Rackmounts and the Debut of the FWS-7700
For large-scale enterprise and telecom operators, AAEON is bringing its heavy-duty Rackmount Network Appliance range to the expo floor. Visitors will be able to explore the versatility of the FWS-7370 and FWS-7851, which leverage Intel Atom® P5300/C5000 processors and 12th, 13th, and 14th Generation Intel® Core™ processors, respectively.
However, the centerpiece of AAEON’s showcase will undoubtedly be the public debut of the upcoming FWS-7700.
This flagship rackmount appliance marks AAEON’s first product to harness the sheer power, performance, and energy efficiency of Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with P-cores. Positioned specifically for advanced, compute-heavy networking applications such as Network Function Virtualization (NFV), the FWS-7700 supports up to 350W CPUs from Intel’s new lineup. Combined with exceptional PCIe expansion capabilities, it is built to handle the massive data throughput required by modern data centers.
AI-Accelerated Security and NetSec Software
In perfect alignment with the overarching cybersecurity theme of RSAC 2026, raw hardware is only half the story. AAEON will also feature a dedicated video demonstration of the NetSec AI Reference Software from Intel.
This demonstration will highlight how Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) are utilized to drastically accelerate AI inferencing directly on Intel Xeon 6 processors. By optimizing these networking and security reference solutions for platforms like AAEON’s rackmount appliances, enterprises can deploy real-time threat detection, automated packet inspection, and intelligent routing within their cloud infrastructures without requiring separate, dedicated AI accelerators.
