Enea Announces Planned Support for Cavium Networks OCTEON II Multicore MIPS64 Processor
Enea® (Nordic Exchange/Small Cap/ENEA), a global software and services company focused on solutions for communication-driven products, today announced its planned support for the OCTEON II Processors from Cavium Networks (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that enable intelligent processing for networking, communications, storage, wireless, video and security applications. This will enable customers using the OCTEON II platform to leverage Enea's substantial family of platform software in applications for wireless infrastructure such as 3G, WiMAX, and LTE.
As a Cavium PACE (Partnership to Accelerate Customer End-solutions) member, Enea already has mutual customers with Cavium Networks using a broad range of Enea software and services including the Enea® OSE family of Real-Time Operating Systems, the Enea Netbricks® family of advanced networking protocols, the Enea® Element Systems Management Middleware, and the Enea Polyhedra® DBMS products. An emerging area of interest with customers is the Enea® dSPEED platform, a unique and powerful data plane management solution that fits squarely the growing need to manage increasingly large and complex farms of specialized processing cores.
"We are seeing a tremendous amount of joint customer demand for our platform software solutions and the current OCTEON Plus family of processors," said Terry Pearson, vice president of marketing for Enea. "With the extensive performance and power improvements coming in the OCTEON II platform, and the growing demand for highly integrated platform solutions in both the control plane and data plane, we see a great opportunity for our combined offering."
