Emerson Partners with Cavium
Networks to Develop High-Performance ATCA, AdvancedMC, and MicroTCA
Packet Processing Blades 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.
