Enea Demonstrates Open Event Machine Implementation on Broadcom XLP Architecture at MWC

For multi-core applications demanding high performance in data plane/fast path packet processing

 

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, February 13, 2014. Enea (NASDAQ OMX Nordic:ENEA) a world leading operating system solution vendor for telecom infrastructure equipment today announced the demonstration of an Enea implementation of Open Event Machine (Open EM) based on Broadcom Corporation’s XLP® Multi-core, Multi-Threaded Processor Series, at Mobile World Congress, February 24-27. The implementation takes advantage of the unique XLP network acceleration framework for packet processing, bringing maximum performance to enterprise, 4G/LTE service providers, data center, cloud computing, and Software Defined Networking (SDN) environments.

“We are pleased to collaborate with Enea in the development of high performance operating system solutions for multicore devices based on our XLP Series processors,” said Eric Hayes, Vice President of Platform Marketing, Processors and Wireless Infrastructure at Broadcom. “Enea’s optimized implementation helps us highlight the significant processing power and advantages of the XLP architecture for communications and networking applications.”

Open EM has been chosen as a starting point for the OpenDataPlaneTM (ODP) initiative by Linaro, the not-for-profit engineering organization developing open source software for the ARM® architecture. Enea and Broadcom are active contributors in the ARM eco-system, and two of twelve members of the Linaro Networking Group (LNG), whose goals are development and promotion of an open standard for data plane processing.

“Broadcom, as a world leading supplier of solutions for communications and networking, is a key technology partner for Enea,” said Oskar Swirtun, SVP Marketing, Enea. “The introduction of a leading edge technology like Open EM for the XLP processors is an important step when focusing on solutions for SDN, Cloud computing in data centers, or Cloud-RAN, and I am thrilled we can do it in close cooperation with a leading technology company like Broadcom.”
