PARIS, March 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Qosmos®, the
market leader in embedded Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and network
intelligence technology for use in physical, virtualized and in
Software Defined Networking (SDN) architectures, is partnering with
Cavium, Inc., (NASDAQ: CAVM), to showcase a demonstration of
intelligent service chaining running on Cavium's LiquidIO
adapter.
The demo shows a breakthrough combination of intelligence and
optimized network processing power:
- Real-time intelligence is provided by a Qosmos-based service
classifier, running on a Cavium LiquidIO adapter
- High performance is enabled by the Cavium LiquidIO adapter,
which accelerates network throughput by offloading vSwitch
processing from the x86 host
This new approach brings significant advantages for datacenter
operators interested in dynamic, intelligent service chaining and
optimized network infrastructure. They can programmatically create
any type of service combination quickly and easily in a modern
virtualized environment, while benefiting from extreme network
performance.
Key technical features:
- Flow processing directly on the Cavium LiquidIO adapter for
Layer 7 classification
- Open interfaces and integration with OpenStack and SDN
controllers
- Provisioning of network rules consistent with the deployment of
services
- Provisioning using RESTful interface using NETCONF/Yang
models
Quotes:
Jerome Tollet,
CTO at Qosmos. "This is the first time anyone has integrated
service classification directly onto a Cavium LiquidIO adapter. We
see a strong interest for this approach, particularly from
datacenter operators running virtual cyber security and routing
functions."
Raghib Hussain, Corporate VP/GM
and CTO at Cavium: "Qosmos Layer 7 classification technology is
impressive and is now supported on both our Cavium OCTEON
processors and our LiquidIO adapters, and soon will be supported on
our ThunderX platforms. Adding Cavium's processing power creates a
strong platform for service chaining, which datacenters can
leverage to optimize network services and performance."
The live demonstration will be shown at Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona, March 2 – 5: Cavium Hall 2, Stand 2F60
