AVIVA Networks Unveils the Industry's First 10 Gigabit ATCA and MicroTCA Packet Processor Blade Featuring Deep Packet Inspection; Service Providers and Enterprises Benefit From Reduced Costs and Increased Performance.CHICAGO -- AVIVA Networks, Inc. today announced the industry's first 10Gbit/sec packet processing engine featuring deep packet inspection Analyzing network traffic to discover the type of application that sent the data. In order to prioritize traffic or filter out unwanted data, deep packet inspection can differentiate data, such as video, audio, chat, voice over IP (VoIP), e-mail and Web. for use in Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA(R)) and MicroTCA(TM) applications. Designed to improve network efficiency and performance, the new AMC (Advanced Mezzanine Card) See AdvancedTCA. 10G IP Acceleration card allows telecom operators and enterprises to capitalize on Cap´i`tal`ize on` v. t. 1. To turn (an opportunity) to one's advantage; to take advantage of (a situation); to profit from; as, to capitalize on an opponent's mistakes s>. a new generation of network applications and services, thereby reducing costs and increasing profits. AVIVA's AMC10G design is based on EZchip Technologies' NP-2/10 network processing chip, one of the most advanced multi-core processors in the market. The chip's flexibility enables building platforms that deliver a wide variety of applications for Layer 2-4 switching and routing and Layer 5-7 stateful session processing and packet payload manipulation. The NP2/10 supports 10Gbit/sec full-duplex throughput (20Gbit/sec total). Embedded search engines allow routing and deep packet inspection also to be performed at wire speed. AVIVA Networks' AMC10G IP Acceleration card prioritizes and manages IP traffic to optimize application performance, balance network loads and ensure the timely delivery of packets. It can deliver a wide range of functionality, with support for VLAN See virtual LAN. VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network stacking, MPLS/VPLS, and IPv4/IPv6 routing coupled with advanced QoS, including DiffServ and IntServ. While the AMC10G can be employed as a mezzanine card A printed circuit board that plugs directly into another plug-in card. For example, a mezzanine card, also known as a "daughterboard," might plug into a VMEbus card, CompactPCI card or PCI card in order to extend its functionality. within an ATCA See AdvancedTCA. environment, it also embraces the MicroTCA standard and can be deployed directly in a MicroTCA chassis. "The AMC10G provides carriers and enterprises alike the unprecedented capability of differentiating their IP traffic based on content and rules," said Paul Sethy, Founder and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of AVIVA Networks. "By implementing AVIVA's solutions in their networks, they can ensure that voice and video streams flow uninterrupted, and that other data packets are delivered in a timely manner." The AMC10G provides true traffic flow management at full line-rate performance, supporting traffic prioritization, avoiding and managing network congestion, and allowing for multiple queuing characteristics and reduced packet loss. Improved management of traffic flow within a discrete network segment is provided by dynamic assignment of internal packet routing information based on system capacity, allowing management of blade capacity and current workload assignment for load balancing applications. In addition to traffic flow management, dynamic firewall policies can be applied at all network layers based on ICSA-certified implementations. The AMC10G provides a security policy management interface for dynamic policy implementation and statistics collection. At GlobalComm, AVIVA Networks is exhibiting a proof-of-concept design for the AVIVA Networks AMC10G IP Acceleration Card in the PICMG An industry consortium that develops specifications for backplanes and interconnects for electronic equipment in the industrial and telecom fields. It was founded in 1994 as the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group, hence the acronym. pavilion located at booth 12042-D. Pricing: Available on request. Availability: AVIVA Networks AMC10G IP Acceleration card is under development and commercial units will be available 1Q2007.
