HILLSBORO, Ore. -- RadiSys Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS - News), a leading global provider of advanced embedded solutions, today introduced its Promentum™ ATCA-7220 Dual OCTEON™ PLUS Packet Processing Module, the industry’s first blade to enable highest density of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in a single slot. With significantly higher processing power and bandwidth access than other platforms available today, the new Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) module enables a complete solution for packet processing applications such as Radio Network Controllers, session border control (SBC), security gateways, edge routers and media gateways.

The ATCA-7220 module is designed with a Cavium Networks (NASDAQ: CAVM - News) OCTEON Plus multi-core MIPS64 processor, which enables the highest throughput and wire speed available, giving manufacturers a competitive advantage in taking next-generation equipment to market. Its innovative architecture incorporates a Smart FrontEnd with a 10 Gigabit Ethernet Switch with content aware capabilities. The Smart FrontEnd allows offloading preprocessing from the Cavium Processors, enhances manageability of the processors, and enables flexibility of data flow to and from the processors. With superior density and throughput for each slot, the ATCA-7220 helps companies minimize capital expenditures by reducing the amount of equipment needed. The new module features RadiSys’ optimized IP data path software, which improves manufacturers’ ability to accelerate time to market and time to revenue. In addition, the future-proof ATCA platform gives manufacturers a clear path to migrate easily to the next generation of OCTEON processors.

“Soaring Internet traffic is not only prompting a multitude of new, enhanced services, but it’s also posing greater security threats, making it critical that manufacturers incorporate deeper packet inspection and processing capability into their all-IP network infrastructures,” said Anthony Ambrose, Vice President and General Manager of Communications Networks, RadiSys. “RadiSys is uniquely positioned to offer this combination of Cavium processing technology and 10-gigabit platform solution; further building on our suite of award-winning Promentum ATCA embedded solutions.”
