SAN JOSE, Calif., March 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cavium, Inc.
(NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that
enable intelligent processing for enterprise, data center, wired
and wireless networking, today announced that its latest processing
technologies are enabling a new wave of advanced security
appliances. Based upon the latest generation of scalable
security products including OCTEON® III multicore processors and
NITROX® security processors, these solutions address a wide range
of price and performance points to allow secure scaling across the
whole spectrum of deployment scenarios utilizing a common
architectural and software framework within product lines.
With the rapid growth of multi-tenant data centers and expansion
of enterprise boundaries over the cloud, vulnerability of the
network infrastructure has increased. This trend mandates
implementation of security at multiple layers of the network. In
addition, Cloud data centers are securing all networking
infrastructure to prevent attacks and security breaches.
Enterprises, data centers and service provider infrastructure are
driving to move and deploy comprehensive Layer 3 to Layer 7
security across every node as well as fully encrypted node to node
traffic both within the LAN as well as the WAN. These trends are
driving strong momentum in the security segment for Cavium
products. Cavium continues to be a leading solution provider in
this market with a comprehensive product portfolio.
The OCTEON III product line provides a multicore processing
platform spanning anywhere from 1 to 48 cores on a single SoC with
advanced on-chip acceleration for high-throughput networking,
encryption, and deep packet inspection supporting throughputs as
high as 100Gbps. The OCTEON III generation provides a major
increase in compute and adds the latest encryption algorithm
support. Additionally, the deep packet inspection technology
is able to identify millions of different threat patterns with very
high-complexity signatures.
"Cavium's OCTEON III product line has provided a substantial
leap in processing performance, throughput, and security
acceleration capabilities. Our continued collaboration is key to
enabling Palo Alto Networks to deliver a whole new generation of
products with unprecedented capability to counter the massive
increase in the number and sophistication of security threats,"
said Barun Kar, Vice President of
Engineering at Palo Alto Networks.
"We are extremely pleased to work with Palo Alto Networks and
provide critical technologies to support their rapid innovation and
deployment of new security platforms," said Raghib Hussain, Corporate VP/GM and CTO of
Cavium, Inc.
