6WIND Launches 6WINDPath Multicore Solution to Enable Simplified Networking Scalability, Performance for IP-based Telecommunications & Enterprise Applications

Mountain View, California - Sept. 14, 2009
- 6WIND, a leading provider of embedded software solutions that simplify networking and application development upon multicore processor based equipment, today announced its 6WINDPath solution to deal with IP-based application networking performance bottlenecks inherent in existing architectures. 6WINDPath enables the simplest and fastest path to move IP-based applications from legacy telecommunications and enterprise architectures to higher networking performance multicore-based architectures that remove performance bottlenecks. The solution provides a seamless migration path to multicore with no performance penalties. 6WINDPath features 6WIND's 6WINDGate embedded software solution - used by two-thirds of tier one telecommunications equipment manufacturers worldwide - combined with 6WIND's market-leading expertise to provide expert design support and services and high performance embedded networking functions using multicore technology while ensuring a flawless integration with existing IP- based applications.

6WINDPath is now available. 6WINDPath leverages two major strengths - 6WIND's market-leading expertise that includes strong field-proven knowledge in multicore, and 6WIND's 6WINDGate embedded software solutions - to ensure specific results when scaling applications using multicore technology to meet today's and tomorrow's network growth requirements. The combination allows telecommunications and enterprises equipment manufacturers to scale performance so applications can work optimally despite any sized network traffic growth. This is possible without requiring applications to be repurposed as 6WINDPath creates simplified migration paths for applications to run on multicore-based architectures that provide the only capable intelligence and performance needed to meet today's and future network traffic growth requirements.

6WINDPath is an easy to install and easy to use end-to-end solution. 6WINDPath ensures any existing application running on single-core architectures, using a standard Linux networking stack, can be made to seamlessly and transparently work on a multicore-based architecture.

Using 6WINDPath, designers can work from three typical migration path scenarios:

  • Add a high speed packet processing front end to offload the application processor.
  • Add a high speed packet processing front end and load balance the traffic to several application processors.
  • Migrate an existing application to a multicore architecture by dedicating a certain number of cores to packet processing.

To provide further details on migration scenarios, 6WINDPath features and more, a 6WINDPath application note is available at the following link. You may also contact us for presentations, performance results and evaluation software.
