SAN JOSE, Calif., June 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cavium, Inc.,
(NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that
enable intelligent processing for enterprise, data center, cloud,
wired and wireless networking, today announces that ZyXEL
Communications Corp., a leading provider of networking solutions on
broadband access, commercial networking, and home connectivity, has
selected the Cavium OCTEON III Processor Family to power its entire
product line of next-generation UTM gateways and 10-Gigabit
Ethernet switch applications.
The number of people relying on smart devices and cloud-based
applications for business communications continue to increase
rapidly. In order to support telecommuting, cloud-based SaaS
Services and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), small business owners
today are facing critical challenges to satisfy fast-growing demand
on network availability, wireless connectivity and application
management. With limited IT resources, frugal small and medium
businesses (SMB) need UTM gateways that are easy to use and that
offer comprehensive security features and deep packet inspection
capabilities to control, prioritize and block certain
applications.
The ZyXEL next-generation UTM gateways, powered by the Cavium
OCTEON III CN70XX/71XX Processor Family are designed to address
these challenges. Equipped with up to four high-performance 64-bit
processing cores, dedicated crypto acceleration and a powerful deep
packet inspection engine, the OCTEON III CN70XX/71XX family enables
class-leading firewall/VPN throughput, deep packet inspection,
sophisticated anti-malware protection and application-specific
traffic control. ZyXEL is able to offer enterprise-class security
features and wireless performance to remote offices, retail
locations and small businesses.
SMBs also need affordable high-bandwidth switches to support the
increasing traffic driven by adoption of cloud-based applications,
VoIP, video streaming and IP surveillance. The Cavium OCTEON III
CN70XX/71XX processors provide high-performance control for ZyXEL's
new series of 12 and 24-port 10-Gigabit switches in a very low
power envelop, delivering superior value measured in performance
per Watt.
"The longstanding partnership between ZyXEL and Cavium has
resulted in the successful deployment of ZyXEL UTM firewall
products. We are excited to enable a new wave of products using the
Cavium OCTEON III processors that will bring better performance
with lower power," Wayne Hwang, VP
of ZyXEL Gateway Business Unit. "The OCTEON processors offer unique
acceleration features and excellent scalability that helps us
deliver UTM firewall and 10 Gigabit switches with leading
performance and an excellent user experience."
"Cavium is very pleased to expand our partnership with ZyXEL,"
said Venkat Sundaresan, Director of
Product Line Marketing, Infrastructure Processor Group, Cavium,
Inc. "OCTEON products have consistently raised the bar for security
performance and features with every new generation. These latest
innovative products from ZyXEL do an excellent job of leveraging
our power processing and acceleration capabilities for the SMB and
enterprise markets."
The OCTEON III CN70XX/CN71XX families of multi-core cnMIPS64
processors target high-end retail, SMB and entry-level enterprise
platforms for networking, security, storage and control plane
applications. The families integrate single to quad cnMIPS64 v3
cores with virtualization capabilities and hypervisor support.
These highly-integrated SoCs include a rich set of I/O's and
Cavium's advanced hardware acceleration for packet processing,
security, deep packet inspection (DPI), offering a power,
performance, and price-optimized solution for next-generation
platforms.
