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. Read PR.
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
