Netronome to Showcase 100 Gbps Network Flow Processing Solutions for Virtualized Servers and Network Equipment at Interop Las Vegas 2010

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Netronome, the leading developer of network flow processors, today announced that the company will be demonstrating solutions for 40 and 100 Gbps applications of the NFP-3240 network flow processors and PCIe acceleration cards at Interop Las Vegas 2010, taking place April 25 – 29, 2010 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. Netronome will demonstrate these networking solutions in booth 2257.

“In order to meet the increasing demands of today’s networks, manufacturers of networking equipment have chosen the IA/x86 architecture for their embedded designs,” said Jarrod Siket, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Netronome. “Our network flow processors and acceleration cards are purpose built for applications that require line-rate throughput, low latency and high availability, from standard IA/x86 systems.”

The products behind the application demonstrations include:

• Netronome Network Flow Processors (NFP) – The NFP-3240 is the industry’s only processor specifically designed for tight coupling with multicore Intel® processors to accelerate network, security and content processing to 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps. They bring breakthrough performance to a broad range of demanding networking applications. Customer designs include shared service blades in switches and routers, 3G and LTE wireless infrastructure, security appliances and virtualized servers. Additionally, the NFP-32xx is the only line of processors backward compatible with the market-leading Intel IXP28XX.
• Netronome Network Flow Engines (NFE) – The NFE acceleration cards provide 1, 10 and 40 Gbps interfaces for network and security applications. Featuring packet processing delivered from Netronome’s NFPs, the NFEs improve the performance of network I/O workloads, including deep packet inspection and bulk cryptography. The NFEs tightly couple with multicore x86 processors over a PCIe 2.0 interface with enhanced IOV support.
• Netronome SSL Inspector Appliance – The world’s fastest transparent SSL proxy allows network security appliances to gain access to the context of encrypted communications. Powered by Netronome’s network flow processing solutions, the SSL Inspector Appliance maintains line-rate network throughput with low latency. This ensures that common threats, such as spam, spyware, viruses, data loss and other forms of cyber crime are no longer able to bypass network and security appliances by hiding inside SSL traffic.
