EZchip and TeraChip Offer New Interoperable Processing and Switching Solution; New Solution Well Suited for Delivery of IP Video Services.SAN JOSE, Calif. -- EZchip Technologies (a subsidiary of LanOptics Ltd., 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 :LNOP), a fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. providing high-speed network processors, and TeraChip, a fabless semiconductor company providing high-performance switch fabrics, today announced a highly-integrated, interoperable switching architecture for network system vendors. The new solution, which integrates the TeraChip 160Gbps TCF See Trenton Computer Festival. 16X10 switch fabric with EZchip's new NP-2 10Gbps network processor (NPU (Network Processing Unit) Same as network processor. ) with integrated traffic manager, will enable efficient designs for carrier-class switches and routers. The solution will be demonstrated at Network Systems Design Conference (NSDC NSDC National Staff Development Council (Oxford, Ohio) NSDC National Square Dance Convention NSDC Network Systems Design Conference (San Jose, California) NSDC Nunavut Social Development Council ) 2005, October 18-20, at Parkside Hall, booth 415, in San Jose, California San Jose (IPA: /ˌsænhoʊˈzeɪ/) is the third-largest city in California, and the tenth-largest in the United States. It is the county seat of Santa Clara County. . "Network system providers are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. true multiservice architectures that can meet end-user performance requirements and service-level agreements," said Jag Bolaria, Senior Analyst at the Linley Group. "Supporting converged triple-play services on a single infrastructure requires not only high-bandwidth switching, but also advanced traffic management to deliver the required QoS to applications." Using TeraChip's high-capacity shared-memory switch fabric and EZchip's NP-2, which combines packet processing and traffic management, system designs require fewer devices on both switch fabric boards and line cards, resulting in lower power consumption and reduced form factor. This unique combination also provides advanced congestion The condition of a network when there is not enough bandwidth to support the current traffic load. congestion - When the offered load of a data communication path exceeds the capacity. management and quality-of-service (QoS) mechanisms across the switch fabric, allowing the solution to meet system requirements for triple-play voice, video, and data services. In addition, the combination of EZchip NP-2's advanced flow control with TeraChip's highly scalable multicast capabilities enables solutions especially well-suited for the delivery of IP video services. "We are pleased to be strengthening our collaboration with TeraChip," said Amir Eyal, EZchip's VP for Business Development. "TeraChip's high-speed shared-memory switching technology, coupled with NP-2's advanced traffic management, delivers high performance systems with fine-grained QoS." "EZchip's combined NPU and traffic manager represents the next level of silicon integration," said Rod Kay, TeraChip 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. . "Our customers continue to request more functions on fewer devices to lower system design complexity and accelerate time to market." Availability The TeraChip TCF16X10 and EZchip NP-2 samples are available now. A full ATCA-based reference system is scheduled for end of 2005. About TeraChip TeraChip is a fabless semiconductor company providing high-performance merchant switch fabrics for switch and router systems. TeraChip's switching solutions are optimized for enterprise (LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. ), metro (MAN) and storage (SAN) networking solutions and server-blade switching systems. Based on patent-pending technology, the company provides groundbreaking switching capacity in a single chip. TeraChip components enable networking vendors to boost performance of next-generation switches at a fraction of the cost, size and power consumption of current offerings.
