CebaTech Announces CebaIP Platform(TM) for End-to-End Development of Data and Storage Networking ASICs or FPGAs.Innovative platform provides unprecedented levels of integration in a solutions-based IP framework EATONTOWN, N.J. -- CebaTech Inc., an innovative intellectual property (IP) developer using state of the art in-house electronic system level (ESL (1) An earlier family of client/server development tools for Windows and OS/2 from Ardent Software (formerly VMARK). It was originally developed by Easel Corporation, which was acquired by VMARK. ) development tools, today announced the development of the CebaIP Platform[TM]. CebaTech's modular approach to offering IP cores makes each configuration quick and easy for design engineers to integrate into their application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) or field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The CebaIP Platform represents years of engineering experience in developing and deploying complex data and storage networking products. (See www.cebatech.com/media/Radar_Scope_CebaTech.pdf.) The platform is a protocol-complete hardware and software framework for developing end-to-end data and storage networking solutions. Using the CebaIP Platform's integrated advanced direct memory access (DMA (1) (Digital Media Adapter) See digital media hub. (2) (Document Management Alliance) A specification that provides a common interface for accessing and searching document databases. ) controller with the OpenBSD software driver, designers are able to rapidly achieve complete data networking and storage product solutions. The CebaIP Platform enables modular protocol-level connectivity between the media access controller (MAC) layer and host application layer interface. With supported data rates ranging from 1 Gb/s to 10 Gb/s, customers can choose from various platform configurations to meet the needs of their specific data and storage networking products. Implementation is supported for both ASICs and FPGAs. "No other IP platform or subsystem offering dedicated to data and storage networking applications with this level of functional integration exists in the market," said Chad Spackman, president of CebaTech. "Customers can choose from available platform configurations now, and grow with the platform over time to greater levels of integration and function to meet the changing demands of their respective markets." Platform configurations initially supported by the CebaIP Platform includes GZIP-based compression and decompression with optional advanced encryption standard (cryptography, algorithm) Advanced Encryption Standard - (AES) The NIST's replacement for the Data Encryption Standard (DES). The Rijndael /rayn-dahl/ symmetric block cipher, designed by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, was chosen by a NIST contest to be AES. (AES) support. A second configuration includes partial TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. offload with optional link aggregation See port aggregation. , VLAN See virtual LAN. VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network , and large send offload (LSO LSO London Symphony Orchestra LSO Lesotho (ISO Country code) LSO Laser Safety Officer LSO Landing Signal Officer LSO Large Send Offload LSO Longwood Symphony Orchestra (Brookline, MA) ) support. Both configurations are available with the CebaIP Platform advanced descriptor-based DMA controller and OpenBSD reference software driver. GZIP-based compression and decompression is available now for initial customer engagements, with general availability in late second quarter of 2007. The partial TCP/IP offload configuration will be available in the third quarter of 2007. Future configurations--including full TCP/IP offload, Internet protocol See Internet and TCP/IP.
