As carriers grow their networks to keep pace with bandwidth-intensive applications there is a significant investment in network security.
Kontron has released AdvancedMC packet processing modules optimised for layer four to layer seven data and security processing, targeting network equipment providers who design 3G/4G BTS, RNC, xGSN and media gateways.
The Kontron AM42xx series of AdvancedMC intelligent I/O modules is designed with the Cavium Networks Octeon Plus CN56xx packet processors.
Marc Leclaire, Kontron AdvancedTCA-AdvancedMC Product Manager said "The new Kontron AdvancedMC NPU modules are one of the first with the CN56xx multicore processors with GbE and 10GbE support".
"They will help our clients build a broader range of dedicated security, load balancing and content or application-aware processing applications".
"The choice of the Octeon Plus CN56xx series of Cavium Networks packet processors is a perfect fit for designing a complete and highly versatile AdvancedMC module that is both cost-effective and more advanced than other competing products".
Kontron is offering two modules, including the AM4204 with four 1GbE ports on the front and software configurable interfaces on the fabric side (PCIe, 4x 1GbE or XAUI).
The AM4220 has two 10GbE ports the front and PCIe on the fabric side.
As carriers grow their networks to keep pace with bandwidth-intensive applications there is a significant investment in network security.
The Kontron AM42xx features a memory protection functionality which makes it possible to HW write protect all onboard nonvolatile memories.
