Movidis Introduces x16 Network Application Platform; New NAP Enables High Performance Networking Applications Providing OEMs With Unequalled Performance in a Cost-Effective, Power-Stingy Design.SAN FRANCISCO -- Movidis, Inc. today announced its first product for 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 manufacturers of high performance enterprise networking equipment. Based on the Cavium Networks OCTEON(TM) CN3860 16-core MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. 64 processor, the Movidis x16 Network Application Platform (NAP) enables the fast development of high performance next-generation networking appliances, and provides unequalled performance in a cost-effective, power-stingy design. "We designed the NAP to provide two key benefits to OEMs. The first is to enable high performance network applications -- without a custom board or 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. design. The second is to provide a flexible platform that speeds new products to market," said Ken Goldsholl, 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 Movidis. "The applications for the NAP are broad, and the fact that it ships running Linux makes it incredibly easy for users to take advantage of the variety of open source opportunities available today." With its multi-purpose, powerful design, the Movidis x16 NAP also includes integrated acceleration engines for TCP, QoS, encryption, and compression, so that most of the 9.6GHz of processing power can be freed up for high layer network applications -- like network security, intrusion detection, load balancing, WAN optimization, network storage, or network access control. Additionally, the x16 NAP allows customers to fully exploit the power of the OCTEON with a 133 MHz/64-bit PCI-X (PCI eXtended) An enhanced PCI bus technology originally developed by IBM, HP and Compaq that is backward compatible with existing PCI cards. PCI and 32-bit PCI-X slots are physically the same, and PCI cards can plug into PCI-X slots. bus, which is connected to an 8-port SATA (Serial ATA) A serial version of the ATA (IDE) interface, which has been the de facto standard hard disk interface for desktop PCs for more than two decades. The original Parallel ATA (PATA) interface was launched in 1986. II/SAS controller and a full speed expansion slot. Eight 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports are provided, along with four sockets for DDR2 registered DRAM DIMMs. All of these features, and more, fit onto an industry standard extended ATX PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. , so it can be installed in any standard 1U rack mount chassis. The NAP is available now and will be available in OEM quantities starting below $2,000.
