ALAXALA Networks Selects NetLogic Microsystems' Knowledge-Based Processors for its Newest Line of 10 Gigabit Switches.NetLogic Microsystems Currently Shipping its NL6000 Knowledge-based Processors for ALAXALA's AX6300S and AX6700S High-Performance Switches MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :NETL NETL - A semantic network language, for connectionist architectures. ["NETL: A System for Representing and Using Real-World Data", S.E. Fahlman, MIT Press 1979]. ), the leader in the design and development of knowledge-based processors, today announced that its NL6000 knowledge-based processor family has been selected for ALAXALA Networks' recently announced AX6300S and AX6700S 10 Gigabit Switches. The NL6000 series was selected due to its high performance, large database capacity, small package footprint and the industry's lowest power consumption. ALAXALA Networks Alaxala Networks is a Japanese company that develops high performance routers and switches. Alaxala Networks was established in 2004 by Hitachi, Ltd. (Hitachi) and NEC Corporation (NEC). External Links
NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. Corporation, and is a leading provider of backbone routers/switches for telecom carriers, government and public sectors, and large corporate networks. These new systems from ALAXALA provide enhanced performance, reliability and scalability for next generation enterprise and service provider networks. "NetLogic Microsystems continues to leap ahead of its competition by designing and delivering knowledge-based processors with higher performance, lower power, and richer features," said Hiroyuki Wada, president and chief executive officer of ALAXALA. "We have been deploying our AX7800, AX7700 and AX5400 series of routers and switches with NetLogic Microsystems' NL5000 generation knowledge-based processor because it was the only solution that offered the performance necessary for us to support IPv6 at 10G. The NL6000 knowledge-based processor now doubles the performance of NL5000 while reducing the power by half, therefore making it a clear choice for our latest AX6300S and AX6700S platforms." Key to NetLogic Microsystems' knowledge-based processor design is the use of parallel processing parallel processing, the concurrent or simultaneous execution of two or more parts of a single computer program, at speeds far exceeding those of a conventional computer. , deep pipelining techniques and advanced power management techniques, which allow the device to handle multiple tasks at higher throughput rates while still maintaining the lowest possible system power. Parallel processing enables multiple decisions to be made simultaneously for QoS, access control for security and voice/video packet forwarding Forwarding is the relaying of packets from one network segment to another by nodes in a computer network. The simplest forwarding model - unicasting - involves a packet being relayed from link to link along a chain leading from the packet's source to its destination. , all of which significantly improves the performance of advanced Internet applications such as Internet Protocol Television (IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. ), voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), video on demand (VoD) and audio video file sharing and downloading. These performance enhancements are even more critical when supporting the IPv6 protocol. The combination of parallel search capabilities, deep pipelining techniques, lowest power consumption, smallest package size and the highest speed and performance in the market place makes NetLogic Microsystems' products an excellent fit for the new generation of switches and routers with advanced QoS, security and IPv6 functionality. "We are excited to be part of the new product family and that our excellent partnership continues to flourish," said Ron Jankov, president and chief executive officer of NetLogic Microsystems. "Two generations of our knowledge-based processors have been selected by ALAXALA Networks, Japan's leading networking 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 , which is a testament that the advanced feature set and processing capabilities of our knowledge-based processors meet the demands of next-generation networks." NetLogic Microsystems' knowledge-based processors are available in production quantities now. For volume pricing information please contact sales@netlogicmicro.com.
