Mon, October 12, 2009 Cavium Networks, Inc.: Cavium Networks Demonstrates Industry-Leading Price-Performance and Scalability for Enterprise and SMB S
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - October 12, 2009) - Cavium Networks (
Traditional storage system architectures utilize a centralized host processor for storage application processing along with JBODs. Currently there is unprecedented demand for virtualized, cloud computing storage to scale elastically, boost storage efficiency and consolidate SAN and LAN on a single Fabric, for decreased cost and increased flexibility. Additionally, moving data freely, without compromising security, is a critical requirement of the cloud infrastructure. An IO centric architecture with distributed and secure storage processing in each storage sub systems is essential to address these demands of increased scalability, capacity and secure services. Cavium's OCTEON SSP with its compelling Price-Performance, Scalability and Features is designed to drive the widespread adoption of this intelligent IO centric architecture. The OCTEON SSP family delivers two to four times more compute cycles versus many alternatives to support line rate processing of variety of Storage Protocols, and integrates advanced hardware acceleration for RAID, compression, de-duplication, security and iSCSI. OCTEON's hyper memory bandwidth with multiple, high speed memory controllers and on-chip memory, enables hyper fast movement of data with low-latency among the various SAN, LAN and storage interfaces. The OCTEON family scales from low-end solutions to very high performance SAN/NAS systems, providing a flexible, software compatible platform across a broad range of price and performance points.
Cavium Networks will be demonstrating the following high-performance OCTEON based storage solutions
-- LINUX based iSCSI to Disk (SAS & SATA) solution -- \SMB/SOHO NAS using SATA disks on an entry-level OCTEON processor -- Scalable SSD based storage system
To setup a meeting with Cavium Networks at any time during Storage Network World on October 12th, 13th, or 14th please contact Angel Atondo at [ angel.atondo@caviumnetworks.com ]
