Brix Networks Selects Teja Technologies' Software Platform.

Leading Converged Service Assurance Vendor Using Teja NP Offering to Help Accelerate Development Efforts

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Teja Technologies Inc., the leading supplier of embedded networking and communications software for multi-core processor architectures, today announced that Brix Networks (www.brixnet.com), the leading provider of converged service assurance solutions, has selected the award-winning Teja NP software platform to help accelerate its products' time-to-market with reduced risk and development costs.

"We consistently look for new ways to more rapidly address our customers' evolving requirements and also quickly bring new solutions to market while maintaining a consistent architectural roadmap," said Kaynam Hedayat, Brix Networks' vice president, engineering, and CTO. "After evaluating several next-gen tool vendors, we picked Teja because we found the company provides the best in performance, scalability and reuse."

Brix will use Teja NP to accelerate the development of additional capabilities within its multi-service monitoring system, which allows service providers and large enterprises to verify the quality of their various Internet Protocol-based services, including Voice over IP (VoIP), IP television (IPTV), data, and mobile. With Teja NP, Brix is able to bring products to market quicker compared with typical methods by reusing the same application code base across multiple product lines, thus slashing development time to a fraction of that of traditional development.

"Brix Networks has taken a leadership position in providing network operators with converged service assurance offerings because the company consistently addresses their customers' urgent needs and delivers high-value solutions ahead of their competition," stated David Stepner, Teja's president and CEO. "Teja NP enables companies to build high-performance systems on their customers' time frame while allowing for future augmentation as market demands shift to new functionality. We look forward to helping Brix uphold its competitive edge."

About Teja NP

Using Teja NP, developers define a complete system's application logic in a C-based model that is independent of the specific Intel network processor and board configuration. These modular logic components are then assigned to the hardware elements on a specific target, resulting in the automatic generation of optimized production code for the target system. Reusing applications across multiple products or across generations of network processors simply requires reassigning the application logic to the resources of the new target chip or board, whereas alternate methods would typically require a manual code rewrite.

Teja NP also facilitates integration of third-party hardware and software components, such as coprocessors and protocol stacks that complement Intel network processors. The resulting benefits of using Teja NP include accelerated time-to-market, the reduction of engineering risk and, most importantly, reliable, high-performance products that provide OEMs with a first-to-market advantage.

Available applications from Teja include IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding, QoS, NAT, TCP Offload/Termination, ATM and security. Unlike reference code, all of Teja's foundation applications are fully documented and supported and are designed to be quickly and easily extended and customized using the Teja NP Application Development Environment. Teja applications are delivered pre-configured to run on popular development and production boards, including ADI, Adlink, Intel, Motorola, and RadiSys. Teja NP is currently available for the Intel[R] IXP2000[TM] family of network processors, as well as the Broadcom[R] SiByte[TM] family of multi-core MIPS processors.
