The number one supplier of packet processing software for networking and telecom platforms

6WIND, an embedded software company, is the leading supplier of packet processing software for networking and telecommunications systems, with a global customer base that includes two-thirds of the world's largest telecom equipment suppliers. Companies like Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, LG-Nortel, NEC, Hitachi and Nokia-Siemens Networks have selected the 6WINDGate™ software as a critical element of their products, because high-speed packet processing is key to maximizing the performance of next-generation networks optimized for IP traffic.

The 6WINDGate software, a standard product with open APIs, acts as a framework between a multicore processor's executive environment and the application software running on equipment used to deliver advanced services. 6WINDGate hides the complexities of developing applications on multicore platforms for next generation equipment such as wireless infrastructure, secure networking equipment and IPTV. 6WINDGate typically provides between 5x and 10x the packet processing performance of a standard Linux solution, significantly improving the price-performance and power-performance ratios of networking equipment.

By providing an off-the-shelf engine that allows software developers to extract the highest possible packet processing performance from their underlying multicore hardware platforms, the 6WIND solution enables equipment manufacturers to focus on adding their unique value around next-generation services, allowing them to deploy services and achieve revenues sooner and easier than otherwise possible.

One key to 6WIND's success is its strong partnerships with companies that provide complementary elements of the complete system-level solution that must integrate cleanly and efficiently to form customers' end products. 6WIND is proud to partner with best-in-class suppliers of multicore processors, board-level subsystems, operating systems and other embedded software products. 6WIND engineers work closely with experts from partner companies to ensure that the 6WINDGate packet processing software is optimized to take full advantage of the performance, security and reliability features designed into their hardware and software products. Customers can be sure that when they select a solution from 6WIND it will work well with the other elements of their system provided by industry-leading suppliers.
