SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Cavium,
Inc. (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products
that enable intelligent processing for enterprise and cloud data
centers, today unveiled QLogic FastLinQ adapters for Open Compute
Project (OCP) servers along with a rich suite of management
software. The new line of adapters allows Cavium to extend its
reach to the growing number of OCP servers being deployed at
hyperscale and cloud service providers.
"New 25GbE technology is expected to displace 10GbE as the
standard for server connectivity in the data center. By adding OCP
adapters to their portfolio, Cavium expands its ability to address
the fastest growing segment of the market, cloud service
providers," said Frank Berry, Senior
Analyst, IT Brand Pulse.
"QLogic FastLinQ OCP adapters are designed from the ground up
for software defined data centers where server connectivity has
become critically important," said Rajneesh Gaur, general manager
and vice president of Ethernet Adapter Group, Cavium. "QLogic
FastLinQ Ethernet adapters bring higher bandwidth, lower latency,
and offload a long list of networking protocols so that cloud
service providers can preserve server resources for workloads that
generate revenue."
Cavium QLogic FastLinQ QL34512 Adapters
Designed to accelerate Network Virtualization workloads, the
FastLinQ QL34512 adapter delivers intelligent offloads for NVGRE,
VxLAN and GENEVE tunneling
protocols, providing an innovative solution delivering flexibility
and cost savings for next generation enterprise, hyperscale CSP,
tier 2/3 CSP, and telco data centers. The 10Gb version QL34152HOCU
is available today and the 25Gb version scheduled for release in
early 2017.
The FastLinQ OCP Ethernet Adapter provides the following key
capabilities:
- Accelerates Server Performance: Boosts network
performance with full line-rate throughput across both ports,
optimizes infrastructure costs and increases virtual machine
density by leveraging in-built technologies like SR-IOV and Network
Partitioning (NPAR) that deliver acceleration and QoS for tenant
workloads and infrastructure traffic.
- Network Virtualization Offloads – Acceleration for
Network Virtualization by offloading protocol processing for VxLAN,
NVGRE, GRE and GENEVE, enabling
customers to build and scale virtualized networks without impacting
network performance.
- Comprehensive Management – Single pane of glass,
web-based and distributed adapter management solution with
QConvergeConsole® (QCC) available across heterogeneous platforms
and OSes, automates and simplifies the deployment and orchestration
of physical and virtual infrastructure.
- OpenStack Integration: Cavium QLogic technologies like
the Plug-in for Mirantis® Fuel for automatic SR-IOV configuration
across multiple OpenStack nodes, QCC driven OpenStack physical and
logical topology maps and the ability to deliver QoS for network
functions enable hyperscale deployments with Cavium QLogic Ethernet
NICs to be accelerated with OpenStack.
- Industry's Most Comprehensive Network Adapter portfolio
– Cavium as a company offers the broadest set of Ethernet
networking adapters - FastLinQ™ Standard Ethernet Adapters,
Converged Networking Adapters and LiquidIO™ Intelligent NICs that
cover the entire spectrum of customer Ethernet connectivity and
offload requirements.
