6WIND Expands Support On Cavium OCTEON Family for Security and Triple Play OEMS; 6WINDGate(TM) Support For OCTEON CN38xx/CN36xx Multi-Core MIPS64 Processors is Expanded to Include Single and Dual Core CN30xx/CN31xx for SOHO/SME Multi-Service CPEs.PARIS Paris, in Greek mythology Paris or Alexander, in Greek mythology, son of Priam and Hecuba and brother of Hector. Because it was prophesied that he would cause the destruction of Troy, Paris was abandoned on Mt. & BEIJING -- 6WIND (www.6wind.com), leader in advanced embedded networking software, announced today, expanded 6WINDGate(TM) support for the OCTEON MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. 64 Multicore processor family to include its single and dual core OCTEON CN30xx and CN31xx. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and vendors are now able to use the same 6WINDGate(TM) software to produce a larger range of feature-rich access and triple-play gateways, and from lower-end CPEs to 10Gbps multi-services network security equipment. OEMs looking to build a complete range of scalable high-performing appliances for networking across-the-board, can take advantage of the OCTEON-compatible 6WINDGate(TM) software which matches in price and performance, reducing significant risks and costs. 6WINDGate(TM) provides OEMs using OCTEON with a comprehensive management and control application, which has been optimized to include tight interfaces with the OCTEON SDK (Software Developer's Kit) See developer's toolkit and Windows SDK. SDK - Software Developers Kit (or "Software Development Kit"). (software development kit), enabling seamless integration. Any customization done on the 6WINDGate(TM) software, for example a UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). application add-on, is automatically applicable on other OCTEON processors if required. "6WIND is pleased to work with Cavium to provide common customers with a pre-integrated control and management plane solution, optimized for the complete OCTEON processor family. The same 6WINDGate(TM) software that performed at wire-speed on the higher-end Octeon CN38xx recently demonstrated the same advantages on dual core CN31xx reference design already sampled by leading SOHO Soho (sōhō`, sə–), district of Westminster, London, England, known for its continental restaurants. Once a fashionable quarter, it became popular among writers and artists in the 19th cent. and SME (1) (Small and Medium-sized Enterprise) See SMB. (2) (Subject Matter Expert) An individual who is well-versed in the policies and procedures of a particular department or division. OEM platform vendors," said Eric Carmes, 6WIND COO and co-founder. "Tight integration of the 6WIND software with Cavium's OCTEON SDK will tremendously help our mutual customers in achieving faster time to market and optimized performance. 6WIND's breadth of software solutions on the full range of OCTEON processors highlights the performance, scalability and software compatibility of the Cavium product line, which is a critical requirement for next generation networking Next Generation Networking (NGN) is a broad term to describe some key architectural evolutions in telecommunication core and access networks that will be deployed over the next 5-10 years. systems," said Rajiv Khemani, Vice President of Marketing, Cavium Networks. 6WINDGate(TM) Software Suites 6WINDGate(TM) software suites are embedded Internet Protocol (IP) software platforms for networking and security system vendors to easily build converging multi-services IP gateways meant for SOHO, SME, enterprise and ISP (1) See in-system programmable. (2) (Internet Service Provider) An organization that provides access to the Internet. Connection to the user is provided via dial-up, ISDN, cable, DSL and T1/T3 lines. applications. Distributed over Linux, they incorporate the market's first comprehensive dual-IP COTS control and slow path data plane platforms for routing, security, QoS, mobility, IPv4-IPv6 transition, device and service management. Hardened for SoC and network processors, the 6WINDGate(TM) scalable software suites are validated on x86, IXP4xx, IXP2xxx, and multi-core MIPS64 processor architectures. All of 6WINDGate(TM) software suites comply with IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force , and has successfully demonstrated network-readiness on several off-the-shelf hardware reference designs.
