Force and Teja Technologies have partnered to meet customer requirements for a complete hardware-software solution for Intel network processor blades.

Force and Teja Technologies have partnered to meet customer requirements for a complete hardware-software solution for Intel network processor blades Teja is providing its production-ready, RFC1812-compliant IPv4 forwarding application - optimised for the CPCI-910 - as part of its Intel network processor software platform, Teja NP

This incorporates an extensible application framework and forwarding-plane functionality as well as system resource management software and development tools needed to develop CPCI-910 applications.

This software reduces the time and cost of developing applications, enables software reusability across future products and provides maximised forwarding-plane performance without requiring detailed knowledge of Intel network processors or the CPCI-910 architecture.

An evaluation copy of Teja NP is supplied with the CPCI-910.

"Optimising performance for the CPCI-910 requires a new class of software because of the flexibility provided by dual IXP network processors", said Peter Manzo, Teja's vice president, business development.

"Teja NP is designed to enable exactly that.

Combined with Force's CPCI-910 network processor blade, Teja's software platform enables OEMs and system integrators to get next-generation network products to market quickly".

Besides adhering to the PICMG 2.16 cPSB standard, the CPCI-910 enables GigE performance on the Centellis CO 21000-12U system for immediate, easy integration in larger systems.

In addition to the CPCI-910 blade, this 17 cPSB node-slot system features hot-swappable, redundant (N+1) GigE switches and N+1 (N=2), 500W DC 48V power supplies; hot-swappable fan trays; a FaultZone technology NEBS Level 3 design; and a PICMG 2.9 IPMI-compliant platform controller supporting SNMP (N+1 option).

CPCI-910s are available now through Force's Early Access Unit (EAU) programme with volume shipments scheduled for Q3 2002.
