6WIND, in advanced embedded networking software, announced expanded 6WINDGate support for the OCTEON MIPS64 Multicore processor family to include its single and dual core OCTEON CN30xx and CN31xx. OEM vendors are now able to use the same 6WINDGate software to produce a range of feature-rich access and triple-play gateways, and from lower-end CPEs to 10Gbps multi-services network security equipment.
Eric Carmes, COO and co-founder, 6WIND, said, "6WIND is pleased to work with Cavium to provide common customers with a pre-integrated control and management plane solution, optimized for the complete OCTEON processor family. The same 6WINDGate software that performed at wire-speed on the higher-end Octeon CN38xx recently demonstrated the same advantages on dual core CN31xx reference design already sampled by leading SOHO and SME OEM platform vendors."
Rajiv Khemani, vice president of marketing, Cavium Networks, stated, "Tight integration of the 6WIND software with Cavium's OCTEON SDK will tremendously help our mutual customers in achieving faster time to market and optimized performance. 6WIND's breadth of software solutions on the full range of OCTEON processors highlights the performance, scalability and software compatibility of the Cavium product line, which is a critical requirement for next generation networking systems."
6WINDGate software suites are embedded Internet Protocol (IP) software platforms for networking and security system vendors to easily build converging multi-services IP gateways meant for SOHO, SME, enterprise and ISP applications. Distributed over Linux, they incorporate the market's first comprehensive dual-IP COTS control and slow path data plane platforms for routing, security, QoS, mobility, IPv4-IPv6 transition, device and service management.
