IP Fabrics and RadiSys Team to Speed Time to Market for Next Generation Networking EquipmentIP Fabrics' PPL Software Supports New RadiSys' Promentum ATCA-7010 Network Processor Module Beaverton, OR – May 10, 2005 - IP Fabrics, Inc., developer of leading-edge software for network processor silicon, today announces that its PPL (Packet Processing Language) software will support the RadiSys Promentum ATCA-7010 dual network processor AdvancedTCA blade. By ensuring that IP Fabrics’ PPL software and the RadiSys ATCA-7010 are fully compatible, the two companies offer a complete packet-processing subsystem that greatly reduces the time required to create, test, and deploy high-performance networking and communications equipment. “As a RadiSys Alliance member, IP Fabrics is working with RadiSys to expand the adoption of network processor and AdvancedTCA technology into new markets,” said Ted Ridgway, RadiSys Vice President of Service Provider and Enterprise Equipment. “IP Fabrics’ software and tools can help our customers get their networking and communications products to market faster.” Based on the Intel® IXP2850 network processor, the RadiSys ATCA-7010 is designed to address the 10Gbps packet-processing market. When complemented with the IP Fabrics’ PPL for IXP28xx software, the RadiSys ATCA-7010 is ideal for use in applications such as security gateways, VoIP session border controllers, and 3G wireless infrastructure elements. “The RadiSys ATCA-7010, enhanced with our PPL software, is a powerful, carrier-class platform for creating next-generation networking and communications applications,” says Kevin Graves, IP Fabrics CTO. “Our joint customers will be able to create and deploy sophisticated, high-performance packet-processing solutions without the hardware-software integration complexities and delays that are normally required in deploying software on a new platform.” About IP Fabrics' PPL IP Fabrics’ PPL for Intel IXP28XX network processors includes everything needed to create, test, and deploy network processor applications for the Intel IXP28XX network processor product line. PPL’s high-level programming significantly reduces the development time required to implement “deep packet processing” functions such as intrusion detection, voice-over-Internet, anti-spam, anti-virus, web filtering, content switching, Internet traffic management, and application-level cryptography compared to programming in assembly language or C. More About RadiSys' Promentum ATCA-7010 The Promentum ATCA-7010 features dual Intel IXP28xx network processors with 1.4 GHz core and 70 MHz Xscale™ and can be configured as single, or dual, parallel or pipelined. 10 Gbps packet processing is made possible with 10, one gigabit Ethernet interfaces that connect via a rear transition module (RTM). The ATCA-7010 supports PICMG 3.0 and PICMG 3.1 fabric interfaces and includes three independent banks of 256 MB RDRAM per network processor, at 533 MHz/1055MT.The module also includes four banks of 8MB (maximum) ODR II SRAM per network processor. An optional 18 Mbit TCAM is available in place of an SRAM bank. Pricing and Availability PPL for Intel IXP28xx pricing is based on a combination of a yearly subscription and a per-unit royalty. Production-level subscriptions start at $68,000. Six-month Advanced R&D subscriptions are available for $34,000.
