Bivio Partner Ecosystem Yields New Application Acceleration Modules.New Security and Content Acceleration Modules Highlight Technology Innovation on Bivio's Network Appliance (1) A specialized device for use on a network. For example, Web servers, cache servers and file servers can be implemented as general-purpose computers with the appropriate software or as network appliances, which are computers dedicated to a single function and cannot do anything Platforms PLEASANTON, Calif. -- Bivio Networks, the leader in high-speed network appliance platforms for deep packet processing applications, today announced three new partner application acceleration modules for its B2000 and B508 network appliance platforms. The modules, developed with Bivio Partner Ecosystem members Cavium Networks Cavium Networks is a Mountain View, California-based company specializing in MIPS-based network and security processors. Cavium Networks offers processor and board level solutions targeting Routers, Switches, Appliances, Storage and Servers. , Kaspersky Lab Kaspersky Lab is a computer security company, co-founded by Natalia Kaspersky and Eugene Kaspersky in 1997, offering antivirus, anti-spyware, anti-spam, and anti-intrusion products. , and Tarari, Inc., are the first products resulting from the Bivio Partner Ecosystem program. The Partner Ecosystem program, launched in May of this year, provides a framework for hardware and software partners to work together to provide innovative joint products that address emerging, policy-centric enterprise and carrier networking requirements. "The Bivio Partner Ecosystem augments Bivio's commitment to an open, extensible, high-performance network appliance platform, while enabling customers to leverage partner technology to develop end-to-end solutions for their own product portfolios and deliver products more quickly," said Elan Amir, president 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 Bivio. "Bivio's platform combines a scalable, multiprocessor architecture with an open software platform that includes a standard Linux-based execution environment. The Partner Ecosystem provides a go-to-market vehicle for software and hardware partners, and allows us to incorporate critical networking and packet inspection functions into the platform, such as those announced today, developed in cooperation with Cavium Networks, Kaspersky Lab, and Tarari." Application Acceleration for Multi-Gigabit Environments Bivio's new modules enable application developers to quickly integrate high-performance cryptographic and content processing applications into Bivio's network appliance platforms, offloading specific compute-intensive and repetitive tasks to maximize overall system performance. The new partner application acceleration modules offered by Bivio include the following: * Tarari Content Acceleration Module, based on Tarari's T9000 technology, is optimized for the most CPU-intensive algorithms found in Regular Expression (RegEx) processing and other processes critical to anti-virus, anti-spam, intrusion prevention See IPS and IDS. and detection (IPS/IDS), and unified threat management See UTM. (UTM (Unified Threat Management) Refers to a stand-alone appliance or a software package that combines a firewall, antivirus, spam and content filtering as well as intrusion detection. See firewall, antivirus, antispam and IDS. ) applications implemented on Bivio platforms. Ecosystem vendor Kaspersky Lab developed and pre-integrated its SafeStream technology with the Tarari Content Acceleration module. 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 customers who purchase a license agreement from Kaspersky Lab receive regular, automatic database updates as new virus definitions become available. * Cavium Cryptographic Acceleration Module, based on Cavium's "NITROX Lite" CN1010 technology, is optimized for cryptographic functions and secure protocol processing Co including SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) The leading security protocol on the Internet. Developed by Netscape, SSL is widely used to do two things: to validate the identity of a Web site and to create an encrypted connection for sending credit card and other personal data. , IPsec, and WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network security acceleration Co providing high-performance bulk data encryption data encryption, the process of scrambling stored or transmitted information so that it is unintelligible until it is unscrambled by the intended recipient. Historically, data encryption has been used primarily to protect diplomatic and military secrets from foreign , secure session, or handshake setup with multi-algorithm support. The NITROX Lite CN1010 can encrypt or decrypt To convert secretly coded data (encrypted data) back into its original form. Contrast with encrypt. See plaintext and cryptography. up to 1Gbps of bulk IPsec, SSL, and WLAN traffic using 3DES, AES, or ARC4 and/or simultaneously perform up to 7000 RSA (1) (Rural Service Area) See MSA.

It uses a two-part key. 1024bit or 12000 Diffie-Hellman 180bit operations used in SSL and IKE session setups. * Tarari/Cavium Multi-Function Acceleration Module includes both the CN1010 and T9000 processors to deliver the most diversified application processing functionality. The three new application accelerator modules are compatible with both the B2000 and B508 network appliance platforms, and are available now. "Bivio's advanced Linux-based platform, in conjunction with Tarari's T9000 ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. technology, expands the capabilities and the performance levels of the network infrastructure," said Randy Smerik, president, CEO, and co-founder of Tarari, Inc. "The addition of the Tarari capabilities to the Bivio appliance platform shortens the time to market for complete solutions from NEMs, ISVs, and SIs, allowing them to address their customer's requirements more efficiently and with less risk." "The combination of Kaspersky's industry-leading, stream-based, high-speed anti-malware technology with Bivio's scaleable network appliance platform will create unique, pre-integrated solutions for network-level malware protection at gigabit speed and beyond," said Vitaly Bezrodnykh, director of business development of Kaspersky Lab. "Service providers, network operators, large enterprises, and other organizations with high-speed networks can now deploy critical virus and malware protection at the network level, without sacrificing network performance or their investment budgets." "Cavium Networks is the market leading security processor vendor today," said Amer Haider, director of strategic marketing and ecosystem development, Cavium Networks. "We're happy to work with Bivio to offer the NITROX Lite for accelerating IPsec, SSL, or WLAN security protocols on Bivio's network appliance platforms." About the Bivio Partner Ecosystem The Bivio Partner Ecosystem targets a wide range of technology and business partners and provides clear benefits to both participating partners and Bivio's customers. * Hardware partners Co Bivio's architecture enables content processing, encryption acceleration, and digital signal processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). ASIC vendors to integrate their technology into the Bivio platform through a modular PCI-based interface. By participating in the Ecosystem, these partners leverage Bivio's technology and platform leadership, as well as Bivio's channels and customers, to increase revenue. * Software partners Co Bivio's Linux-based BiviOS[TM] execution environment provides integration opportunities for Linux-based software vendors in a wide range of areas, including embedded security, traffic management, storage, and other important functions for inclusion in the Bivio platform.
