[July 01, 2011] : Emerson Network Power Announces Availability of Powerful 64-core Cavium Dual OCTEON(r) II 40G ATCA Packet Processor Blade Tweet Jul 01, 2011 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE:EMR) and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity(tm), today announced availability of its first 40G AdvancedTCA payload blade, the ATCA-9405. The ATCA-9405 can provide telecom equipment manufacturers with up to four times performance increase over previous generation ATCA blades for high touch and high throughput packet processing applications in the latest data-intensive network evolution, including: - The latest 4G LTE mobile networks for transport and control plane functions, lawful interception and packet gateways - Network security applications such as unified threat management, session border controllers and intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) - Deep packet inspection applications for policy enforcement and quality of service control - Secure cloud services such as application-aware switching Featuring dual OCTEON(r) II CN6880 processors from Cavium (NASDAQ: CAVM), each with 32 cnMIPS cores running at up to 1.5GHz, the Emerson Network Power ATCA-9405 enables the implementation of packet processing applications at line speeds of 40Gbps in conjunction with Emerson's industry-leading range of 40G ATCA platforms. The ATCA-9405 has been designed to maximize the deep packet inspection, security application processing and raw throughput of the OCTEON processors. In addition to two 40G ATCA data fabric connections that can operate active/active as well as active/standby, the ATCA-9405 provides for direct Ethernet cable terminations of up to 82Gbps via a rear transition module (RTM) giving a total maximum throughput of 328Gbps. To help manage this, the blade's dual-core Freescale QorIQ P2020 processor implements sophisticated Ethernet switch management as well as local management functions. Free of such system management overhead, the OCTEON II processors can be dedicated solely to packet processing. "The introduction of the ATCA-9405 marks the third phase in our proven 40G ATCA deployment strategy as detailed in our free eBook," said Rob Pettigrew, director of marketing, Embedded Computing, Emerson Network Power. "For network equipment providers who are concerned about integration of multiple blades at the new 40GbE data rate, the promise of interoperability and compatibility from a platform provider such as Emerson Network Power will be very reassuring." Steve Klinger, director, OCTEON product marketing at Cavium said, "Emerson Network Power has a track record of high performance and high reliability in its ATCA implementations, and the ATCA-9405 is no exception. This outstanding blade design allows the blistering speed of the new OCTEON II processor to be used to its full effect in the most demanding security and packet inspection applications." The new blade supports a variety of software, including Wind River's Linux 4.x operating system, Cavium' s packet processing software development kit, 6WIND's 6WINDGate(tm) fast path networking stacks, and field proven L2 and optional L3 Ethernet switch management. The ATCA-9405 can operate with or without rear transition modules depending on system architecture, and is designed to support NEBS/ETSI requirements.
