Collaboration Provides Significant Performance Advantage for Deep Packet Inspection Solutions
SAN DIEGO – January 30, 2007 – Continuous Computing, global provider of integrated systems and services that enable telecom equipment manufacturers to rapidly deploy Next Generation Networks (NGN), today announced its partnership with Raza Microelectronics, Inc. (RMI), a leading supplier of processors for communications and consumer applications. This partnership accelerates the delivery of the highest performance, lowest latency AdvancedTCA (ATCA) packet processing products available today, thereby offering telecom equipment manufacturers significant performance and time-to-market advantages in providing “content-aware” routing, traffic management, and security solutions to their customers.
Continuous Computing has selected RMI’s XLR Processor architecture based on its unique multi-core, multi-threaded, power-efficient design. The XLR Processor serves as a key enabling technology underlying Continuous Computing’s entry into the deep packet inspection arena, considered increasingly important as disparate applications and services converge within unified next generation networks.
The superior processing capability of the XLR Processor Family complements a wide range of Trillium and third-party software options for increased “content-aware” performance and ease of use. The innovative XLR732 processor consists of eight MIPS64-compatible cores with 32 processing threads, designed for maximum throughput and workload efficiency – a highly integrated feature-rich System-On-Chip solution. Optimized Trillium protocol software running on the XLR732 will be able to perform significantly better than protocol software running on other types of packet processing architectures.
“We have aligned with RMI because the XLR Processor is the highest performance multi-core, multi-threaded packet processor available today,” said Mike Dagenais, chief executive officer of Continuous Computing. “When integrated with Continuous Computing’s ATCA hardware solutions and performance-tuned Trillium protocol software, the combined offering exceeds anything currently available in the market. This partnership reinforces our commitment to provide leading-edge technology as we strive to keep our customers at the forefront of the telecom equipment innovation curve.”
The collaboration between Continuous Computing and RMI will also include joint marketing and sales initiatives targeted at Tier 1, 2, and 3 telecom equipment manufacturers looking to offer the most advanced NGN infrastructure solutions to their carrier customers, particularly in the areas of “content-aware” routing, deep packet inspection, traffic management, and security.
“Industry innovators must collaborate to solve customers’ technical challenges and create systems that will meet future performance requirements,” said Atiq Raza founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of RMI. “Our partnership demonstrates that Continuous Computing is an early adopter of packet processing technology on ATCA and provides forward-looking solutions to key challenges that carriers face in deploying NGN applications.”
