RadiSys
Introduces Industry's first Gigabit Ethernet Solutions Based
on Cavium Networks' OCTEON™ Plus CN58XX Processors.
Promentum® ATCA-72xx and AMC-7211 deliver
state-of-the-art wire-speed packet and security processing
for next generation wireline and wireless network elements
HILLSBORO , Ore., October 9, 2006
– RadiSys (NASDAQ: RSYS) today announced the
expansion of its market leading ATCA and AMC family by introducing
two new products based on the latest OCTEON™ processors
from Cavium Networks. The new ATCA and AMC solutions from
RadiSys provide high density Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with
sophisticated dataplane hardware acceleration, and help equipment
manufacturers reduce research and development costs while
accelerating the introduction of high performance, content
aware products such as Radio Network Controllers (RNC), Session
Border Controllers, Media Gateways, Edge Routers, and Security
Gateways.
As the industry continues its rapid shift to converged
IP networks, content aware processing of data as well as
voice, video and multimedia traffic is becoming critical
in a broad array of network elements. As the industry continues
its rapid shift to converged IP networks, content aware
processing of data as well as voice, video and multimedia
traffic is becoming critical in a broad array of network
elements. RadiSys, a pioneer and innovator in open systems
platforms and first to market with a 10 Gig ATCA platform,
helps equipment manufacturers address these needs by providing
feature rich ATCA and AMC solutions with wirespeed performance.
The Promentum ATCA-72xx is a high performance, modular
Gigabit Ethernet Line card for ATCA systems offering 4,
8, 12 or 16 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Equipped with up
to 4 Cavium OCTEON Plus CN58XX processors, the ATCA-72xx
provides the wire speed interfaces and hardware accelerated
data processing critical for today’s dense network
elements. The IPMI compliant, hot swappable ATCA card is
available with optional software from RadiSys for hardware
accelerated IPV4/IPV6 forwarding, Security (IP Sec, SSL,
SRTP), IP Filtering, and Traffic Management. Future software
upgrades will add support for Load Balancing, MPLS, and
GTP-U hardware acceleration.
“Cavium Networks new OCTEON Plus processors deliver
the highest performance and best performance/watt offering
for networking and wireless applications,” said Syed
Ali, CEO and president, Cavium Networks. “We are pleased
to work with Radisys using OCTEON Plus to enable a new breed
of ATCA and AMC solutions which will help equipment manufacturers
implement rich, secure, quad-play services for enterprise
and service provider networks.”
The RadiSys AMC-7211 provides power efficient, packet and
security processing for customers requiring AMC modules
for their ATCA and uTCA platforms. Equipped with four Ethernet
Interfaces, each AMC-7211 delivers up to 4 Gbps of Layer
2 through 7 wire speed content aware processing in a compact
single width, mid-size AMC. When installed in AMC slots
provided by ATCA compute blades such as the RadiSys ATCA-4300,
the AMC-7211 can be used to offload host CPUs from line
and packet processing tasks.
“Deep packet inspection and complex security processing
are becoming fundamental for many network elements in fixed,
mobile and enterprise networks,” said Scott Grout,
CEO, RadiSys. ”These latest offerings from RadiSys
build on our leadership position in 10Gigabit ATCA platforms
and allow equipment manufacturers to quickly and easily
address the most demanding applications. With these new
products our customers are better able to create products
for service providers offering secure connectivity and increased
subscriber capacity with a smaller footprint and power envelope
than previously possible.”
The RadiSys ATCA-7200 and AMC-7211 are available as standalone
products or as part of the RadiSys Promentum™ ATCA-6010
Application Ready platform. The Promentum ATCA-6010 platform
is a fully integrated and validated managed platform designed
to address high speed I/O and bandwidth intensive traffic-bearing
applications in a flexible and reliable architecture complete
with comprehensive system management. Embedded Promentum
building blocks are implemented in a modular fashion with
seamless interoperability through a suite of Advanced Mezzanine
Cards (AMCs). RadiSys offers a wide range of AMCs for general
purpose and network processing, input/output, and storage
requirements.
