Teak 3018 network appliance
[Sponsor: AR Infotek]

A Taiwanese network-appliance system integrator announced a wireless network security appliance that runs Linux. Drawing only 2.4 Watts, AR Infotek's fanless Teak 3018 is equipped with four auto-sensing Ethernet interfaces, plus WiFi, and targets SMBs (small- and medium-sized businesses).

The Teak 3018 is similar to AR Infotek's 3011 model, which was released in mid-2006, but adds mini-PCI based WiFi.

The Teak 3018 is based on a 500MHz AMD LX800 Geode processor and CS5536 integrated northbridge/southbridge companion chip. The system can be configured with 128MB to 512MB RAM of onboard DDR 266/400MHz RAM. It can boot from an internal CompactFlash or DiskOnChip flash module.


Typical application with redundant WAN links and DMZs

Housed in a steel chassis, the device measures 10.8 x 5.7 x 1.7 inches and is equipped with a drive bay for a 2.5-inch hard drive. There's also a PCI expansion card for security applications, such as cryptography. The four auto-sensing 10/100 Ethernet ports include two ports with "bypass" function, to maintain network availability in case of appliance failure.

The following lists the Teak 3018's key features:
  • Processor -- 500MHz AMD LX-800 and CS-5536 chipset
  • Memory -- up to 512MB of on-board DDRAM SDRAM
  • Storage:
    • 2.5-inch hard drive bay
    • DiskOnChip and CompactFlash sockets
  • Wired/wireless networking:
    • 4 x autosensing 10/100 Base TX (including two bypass); based on Intel 82551ER controllers
    • 820.11g WiFi
  • Other I/O:
    • RS-232 serial port
    • 2 x USB 2.0 ports
  • PCI slot for additional expansion
  • Dimensions --10.8 x 5.7 x 1.7 inches (275 x 145 x 44 mm)
  • Power -- 20-Watt external AC power adapter
The unit is compatible with a variety of open source operating systems, including Red Hat, Fedora, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD.
