Madison, WI. November 28, 2007— Emerson Network Power’s
(NYSE: EMR) Embedded Computing business today announced that it
has partnered with Cavium Networks (NASDAQ: CAVM) to develop a
family of high-performance ATCA, AdvancedMC, and MicroTCA packet
processing blades based on Cavium Networks’ OCTEON processor
family. The new blades will make it easy for network equipment
providers to add scalable, high-performance Level 2 through Level
7 packet processing capability to next-generation, open architecture
communications networks.
“The OCTEON family offers unprecedented packet processing
throughput, scalability, and programmability,” said Rod Anliker,
senior program manager at Emerson. “This announcement highlights
Emerson’s work with Cavium Networks to develop open architecture
blades that take full advantage of the OCTEON’s unique capabilities
while making it easy for network equipment providers to integrate
those capabilities into the next generation of ATCA, AdvancedMC
and MicroTCA systems. Emerson’s open architecture hardware,
software, and systems expertise, coupled with our worldwide manufacturing,
service, and support capabilities, make us uniquely positioned
to deliver best-in-class packet processing solutions based on the
OCTEON processor.”
“Emerson is an international company with true global reach,
and has been a pioneer in the development and early adoption of
open architecture telecom standards,” said Tasha Castañeda,
senior strategic alliance manager at Cavium Networks. “This
combination makes them a strong partner for deploying world-class
OCTEON-based packet processing solutions that can be readily integrated
into next-generation ATCA, AdvancedMC, and MicroTCA communications
systems.”
The OCTEON family of high-performance, low-power, multi-core MIPS64
processors provides hardware acceleration for intelligent networking
applications requiring high-performance Layer 2 through Layer 7
processing. These software-compatible processors, featuring one
to sixteen cnMIPS cores, integrate next-generation networking interfaces,
a memory controller, advanced hardware packet processing, QoS,
TCP, multi-core scaling, pattern matching, compression/decompression,
storage, security, and the latest processor peripherals on a single
chip.
