What's also interesting: these units can be shipped with Coreboot, allowing an even more Open Source stack, from the bottom to the top. FW6D and FW6E: two models with XCP-ng pre-installed XCP-ng will be available on Vault products, specifically FW6D and FW6E units. These machines are entirely fanless, and able to run in various environments outside the datacenter.

It's also perfectly aligned with our feedback: we are seeing an increasing demand regarding virtualization and edge computing. Protectli is dedicated to providing reliable, cost effective, and secure computer equipment that doesn't lock you into proprietary vendors and expensive contracts.ĭue to the high demand for XCP-ng on their machines, the next logical step for Protectli was to have XCP-ng preinstalled so it could be delivered out-of-the-box for their customers. XCP-ng is entirely compatible with Protectli products and we published a blog post about it 6 months ago. A further example of XCP-ng success! A logical move My question concerns the best physical way to lay out this logical configuration.We are proud to present our first hardware partner selling machines with XCP-ng preinstalled. I'd like to dedicate a port to each VLAN as well as dedicate one port to connecting back to the UDM for supporting the Wi-Fi side of the world (I have the UDM and two UniFi APs that I intend to keep using for Wi-Fi access). The FW6D has 6 ports (WAN, LAN, OPT 1 - 4).

I've got 4 VLANs currently (management, private/safe, IoT/dangerous crap, and guest). I'm intending to cut over all the hard-wired and routing duties to the new Protectli router running PFSense, but keep the UniFi gear for the Wi-Fi side of things. There are too many traffic hiccups when going thru the UDM that don't exist when direct-connected to my ISP's cable modem. For the last 18 months or so I've been using a UniFi UDM and it's just not quite up to the task of all the real-time streaming work & video conferencing I need to do. I just got a new Protectli FW6D router to use for my home business.
