Yesterday, SolidRun introduced the SolidWAN system-level solutions for software-defined wide area networks. The new products consist of two network devices based on the LX2160A System on Chip (SoC) from NXP.

The SolidWAN LX2160A and the SolidWAN Dual LX2160A offer similar features. The first device features a sixteen-core NXP LX2160A SoC while the dual version offers up to 32-cores for increased performance. According to the datasheet, both models can run on Debian, Ubuntu, OpenWrt and they offer AES acceleration and virtualization support.

According to the company, the SolidWAN LX2160 targets commercial settings while the Dual version targets more demanding applications. The Dual version offers twice the RAM and eMMC storage, in this case up to 64GB DDR4 and 16GB of eMMC flash. For additional storage, there is one MicroSD socket and one M.2/mSATA port found on both models
