RadiSys Adds Blade

HILLSBORO, Ore. -- RadiSys Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS), a leading global provider of advanced embedded solutions, announced today a new media processing blade for the Convedia® CMS-9000 Media Server. The new Media Processing Card IV (MPC-IV) delivers capacity and performance improvements for processing-intensive applications such as conferencing, video and low bitrate codec. With the new MPC-IV blade, Convedia CMS-9000 Media Servers offer the industry’s highest port capacity with lower price per port for the most demanding media processing applications.

The Convedia CMS-9000 Media Server, announced last year and already deployed in customer production networks today, was designed from the outset to accommodate modular capacity upgrades. The new MPC-IV card adds additional Digital Signal Processor (DSP) resources to the original Media Processing Card III (MPC-III) hardware design, providing up to 24,000 ports of media processing power on the CMS-9000 platform, representing a 30 percent capacity improvement compared to the media processing cards in RadiSys’first generation CMS-6000 Media Server systems. The new MPC-IV card continues to offer the improved CPU power of the original MPC-III design for CPU-bound applications like VoiceXML IVR processing, while adding the additional DSP resources for improved conference mixing, video, low bitrate codec and transcoding capacity.

“VoIP and IMS solution vendors and their service provider customers continue to fuel a demand for open, standards-based audio and video media processing horsepower in their solutions and networks,” said Stéphane Téral, principal analyst, Infonetics Research, Inc. “Vendors like RadiSys who continue to offer improved capacity and performance benchmarks are well positioned to maintain their market leadership in IP media processing products and technology.”
