BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cavium, Inc.
(NASDAQ: CAVM) a leading provider
of semiconductor products that enable intelligent processing for
enterprise, data center, cloud, wired and wireless networking, will
showcase highly optimized platforms enabling OpenStack® deployments
based on Cavium's award-winning ThunderX®, LiquidIO® and FastLinQ™
Ethernet adapter product lines during OpenStack Summit being held
in Barcelona Spain October 25 - 28.
OpenStack is the most widely deployed open source software
for building clouds. Enterprises use OpenStack to support rapid
deployment of new products, reduce costs and improve internal
systems. Service providers use OpenStack to give customers
reliable, easily accessible cloud infrastructure resources,
supporting technologies including VMs, bare metal and
containers.
Cavium's ThunderX ARMv8 based workload optimized processor
integrates key capabilities that are critical for the most
demanding Public and Private Cloud workloads. The OpenStack cloud
infrastructure enables end users to fully utilize ThunderX features
for critical workloads such as cloud storage with CEPH, Apache
Hadoop for Big Data Analytics, distributed data bases such as MySQL
and Cassandra and secure web serving with NGINX. ThunderX is
also optimized for networking specific workloads such as Network
Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Load-Balancing for Telco
applications.
Cavium's LiquidIO II Intelligent Server adapters fully support
and seamlessly integrate OpenStack software value-add functionality
for application acceleration, network configuration and
provisioning, security, and isolation in multi-tenant compute
clusters. LiquidIO Open Virtual Switch (OVS) offload enables
various Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and security features
as a workload specific Virtual Network Function (VNF) or as a
Service Function Chain (SFC) with seamless configuration and
provisioning using OpenStack platform.
Cavium QLogic FastLinQ 45000 Series comprise the next generation
of Ethernet adapters with the capability to support
10/25/40/50/100GbE while delivering a broad set of protocols,
features, speeds and capabilities, including Universal RDMA, and
stateless offloads for server and network virtualization. FastLinQ
Ethernet Adapters are integrated with common OpenStack deployment
and orchestration frameworks like Mirantis FUEL which enables
OpenStack cloud deployments and operations to be simplified and
accelerated.
Cavium will showcase the following ThunderX, LiquidIO and
FastLinQ product lines in booth B36:
- ThunderX: 64–bit ARMv8 based SoC family of
workload optimized processors with a range of SKUs and form factors
optimized for hyperscale data centers targeting cloud computing and
NFV, which include volume compute, storage, secure compute and
networking specific workloads.
- Software Ecosystem partners supporting ThunderX including
Canonical, Red Hat and SUSE
- LiquidIO: 10/25/40GbE Intelligent Server and
network appliance adapters accelerating network performance for SDN
and NFV application by offloading Open vSwitch and standard Overlay
tunnel protocols with OpenStack API services and plugins. Cloud
data centers benefit with additional high performance security and
storage offloads including IPsec protocol acceleration with the
highest performance and low CPU utilization.
- QLogic FastLinQ™ - 10/25/40/50/100GbE Ethernet adapters
that accelerate the deployment of OpenStack by delivering the
ability to orchestrate and manage an OpenStack deployment with
technologies like the Plug-in for Mirantis® Fuel for automatic
SR-IOV configuration, QConvergeConsole (QCC) for OpenStack physical
and logical topology maps and ability to deliver QoS for network
functions.
