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
