6WIND at Mobile World Congress
2010
We would like to thank all the people who
visited 6WIND's booth at MWC in Barcelona. During these
four intense days, we had the opportunity to meet with
our customers and partners to discuss trends in multicore
technology. Many major equipment vendors have now announced
wireless infrastructure equipment based on multicore technology,
in which they have embedded 6WINDGate™ software.
New multicore processors were also announced. As multicore
technology is now integrated with accelerators and front
ends to better address the requirements of a myriad of
networking and telecom applications, there is no doubt
it will be a pervasive technology within a short period
of time. It will be interesting to see which processors
will lead the market in the coming years. 6WIND is very
excited to contribute with our best-in-class 6WINDGate
software that accelerates any migration to multicore architectures.
Expanded Technology
Partnership to Increase Integration of 6WIND's Multicore
Embedded Networking Software with Emerson Network Power's
AdvancedTCA® Platforms
Jan. 11, 2010 - Mountain View, California
- 6WIND, the leading provider of high-performance packet
processing embedded software for networking and telecommunications
equipment, and Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson
and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity™,
today announced an expansion of their technology partnership
for joint multicore-based solutions. As part of the expansion,
6WIND will further integrate its 6WINDGate™ embedded
networking software for multicore with Emerson Network
Power AdvancedTCA® blades based on Cavium Networks
OCTEON™ processors. The first expanded integration
of 6WINDGate features Emerson Network Power's ATCA-9305,
an ATCA blade based on dual OCTEON CN5860 processors and
the Freescale™ Semiconductor MPC8548 management processor.

Article by 6WIND's
CEO Featured in SCDsource's Online Edition
In February, SCDsource featured an article
by 6WIND's CEO, Eric Carmès, about "Overcoming
multicore architecture complexities in networking equipment
- scaling applications when network traffic grows."
In the article Eric describes the conditions that new
software architectures must meet to provide an efficient
and transparent solution for a fast migration to multicore.
He explains the system challenges; discusses network equipment
architecture; considers possible implementations for multicore
packet processing; and concludes with a list of requirements
for a successful migration. Read
