MOUNTAIN VIEW,
Calif. August 15, 2006 – Cavium Networks, a world
leader in security, network services and embedded processor
solutions, today announced the OCTEON Multi-core MIPS64®
Processor family has been selected for use in network-centric
Linux servers for Enterprise , Storage and Network Applications.
The OCTEON based Linux servers are available from Movidis today
and on display at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo being
held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco Aug 15 - 17 in booth
#840. OCTEON has been adopted widely by Tier-1 and leading networking
OEMs in networking, security, control plane and broadband gateway
applications.
“We see a significant opportunity
in providing high-performance, low-power networking servers
for networked storage, secure Web transactions, databases and
network centric applications running in the datacenter or at
the edge of the network," said Ken Goldsholl, CEO of Movidis.
"We selected the OCTEON Processor for our next generation products
because OCTEON provides integrated network, security and application
layer acceleration in hardware with general purpose Linux programmability
and dramatically lower power compared to other solutions. This
type of processor configuration is not available from any other
vendor.”
Movidis is offering OCTEON based Network Application Platform
and Revolution x16 servers for networking OEM vendors and Enterprise
data center, respectively. The Movidis Revolution x16 servers
are available with pre-loaded Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Perl/Python
to offer core programs for Web and e-commerce servers, as well
as the widely accepted open source database software MySQL and
PostgreSQL.
“We are excited to enable innovative
companies like Movidis to bring disruptive technology to the
market place”, said Amer Haider, Director of Strategic
Marketing, Cavium Networks. “Using the OCTEON Processor
technology in networking centric servers running Linux helps
IT managers reduce their data center power costs while providing
a scalable and compact high performance solution.”
The OCTEON MIPS64® Processor family consists of multiple
software compatible parts with 1-16x cnMIPS cores providing
up to 9.6GHz of compute cycles with 19.2Billion OPS in 30Watts.
The OCTEON Processor family integrates up to 8x Gigabit ports,
up to 144 bit DDR2 memory controller, encryption, TCP, GZIP
compression and Pattern matching hardware. OCTEON has a broad
ecosystem that includes general purpose operating systems such
as Linux, VxWorks and OSE, Java Virtual Machine available from
Apogee, in addition to many other networking stack, voice, video
