Tekelec Announces Advanced Signaling Architecture - TekWare.Business Editors, High Tech Writers SUPERCOMM 2002 MORRISVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 4, 2002 Intel(R) Multi-processing Technology Provides High-speed Performance Tekelec (Nasdaq: TKLC) today announced the introduction of TekWare(TM), a modular, open-systems, high-capacity architecture for signaling and integrated service applications. TekWare enables the consolidation of multiple network elements and applications, which streamlines the network, facilitates the delivery of value-added services, and centralizes administration and maintenance. The company worked with Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking on the design of the flexible, modular architecture, incorporating the Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor, the Intel(R) E7500 chipset, and the Intel(R) IXP (1) (Internet EXchange Processor) See IXA. (2) (Internet eXchange Point) A public junction point on the Internet that provides an on-ramp to the Internet as well as a location for carriers to exchange traffic. 1200 network processor. The first implementation of TekWare will be TekServer(TM), the company's new services platform. TekServer will enable a variety of intelligent network (IN) and Internet protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. (IP) applications, which require high-transaction speeds and low latency Low latency allows human-unnoticeable delays between an input being processed and the corresponding output providing real time characteristics. This can be especially important for internet connections utilizing services such as online gaming and VOIP - VOIP is not as important as . It can be deployed as a stand-alone server or integrated directly into the EAGLE(R) 5 Signaling Application System (SAS (1) (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, www.sas.com) A software company that specializes in data warehousing and decision support software based on the SAS System. Founded in 1976, SAS is one of the world's largest privately held software companies. See SAS System. ), to facilitate dramatic increases in performance, enabling the delivery of high-capacity, advanced network applications. TekServer will be running the Linux(TM) operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. enhanced for use in carrier-grade environments. "Our customers need to reduce operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales , generate revenue, and optimize capital investments," said Lori Craven, vice president and general manager of the Tekelec Network Systems Division. "These drivers have been key in the development of TekWare. The innovative technology is the architectural foundation for the future direction of our signaling and services business. TekWare is backward compatible Refers to hardware or software that is compatible with earlier versions of the product. Also called "downward compatible." Contrast with forward compatible. backward compatible - backward compatibility and allows us to deliver at least a fourfold fourfold Adjective 1. having four times as many or as much 2. composed of four parts Adverb by four times as many or as much Adj. 1. increase in link capacity and enhance application performance tenfold(1)." Joe Jensen, general manager, Embedded Intel Architecture Division, said "The dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processors with Hyper-threading technology, validated with the Intel(R) E7500 chipset, provide added processing power at an improved price performance ratio. In addition, rapid throughput enabled by the processor platform will drive high-capacity, complex network applications with low latency." Intel's dual Xeon processors enable TekWare to yield a greater than 1,000 percent increase in SS7 over IP signaling transport speed, for up to 50,000 transactions per second In a very generic sense, the term Transactions Per Second refers to the number of atomic actions performed by certain entity per second. In a more restrictied view, the term is usually used by DBMS vendor and user community to refer to the number of database transactions performed (1). With the Intel IXP network processing technology, TekWare implements a switching backplane to allow multiple TekServers to operate in a scaleable, fully integrated, EAGLE 5-compatible system. Routing delays are minimized, enabling the deployment of advanced applications such as monitoring, security, fraud control, 800 service, calling name delivery, and flexible routing. Tekelec will display the new TekServer platform at the 2002 Supercomm tradeshow in Atlanta, June 4-6, booth 11517, Hall C.
