NetLogic Microsystems’ 10G PHY and Knowledge-Based Processors to
Support Netronome’s New Family of Network Flow Processors
NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:NETL), the leader in the design and
development of knowledge-based processors and high-speed integrated
circuits, today announced support for the NFP-32xx from Netronome
Systems, a leading developer of highly programmable semiconductor
products that provide intelligent and secure flow processing for
virtualized servers and network equipment. NetLogic Microsystems and
Netronome will cooperate to develop reference designs that include the
new NFP-32xx along with industry-leading knowledge-based processors,
NETL7™ Layer 7 knowledge-based processors and 10-Gigabit Ethernet PHY
products from NetLogic Microsystems. The collaboration will help
customers accelerate time-to-market and reduce development costs for
advanced, next-generation systems.
The NFP-32xx family of Network Flow Processors™ removes the performance
barriers in unified computing architectures by integrating
high-performance networking, security processing and I/O virtualization
with general-purpose computing. Additionally, the NFP-32xx is the only
line of processors backward-compatible with the market-leading Intel®
IXP28XX family of network processors, protecting customers’ immense
investment in field-proven and network-hardened software.
NetLogic Microsystems’ industry-leading knowledge-based processors
accelerate high-speed packet header inspection and application-aware
processing functions to deliver best-in-class performance on
next-generation networking, access, data center and security
applications. NetLogic Microsystems’ Layers 2-4 knowledge-based
processors accelerate header inspection and IPv6 processing functions to
enable wire-speed quality-of-service (QoS), ACL security, video/voice
forwarding, billing and VPN while maximizing the energy efficiency of
the overall system. The NETL7 family of Layer 7 knowledge-based
processors from NetLogic Microsystems delivers unprecedented,
deterministic performance while inspecting every bit of every packet at
wire-speed to enable application-aware and cyber security functions.
