ALAMEDA & MOUNTAIN VIEW, USA: Wind River, a leader in embedded and mobile software, and Cavium Networks, a leading provider of highly integrated semiconductor products, have announced a multi-year strategic partnership to co-market optimized VxWorks and Linux multicore solutions to networking and telecom customers worldwide.
The companies will align long-term product roadmaps and Wind River will commercially support Cavium’s OCTEON family of multicore processors through OCTEON II and a subsequent processor family with board support packages for Wind River’s diverse software portfolio.
“Our partnership no doubt sends a strong message to the market about our long-term commitment to support multiple generations of Cavium products, and equally significant is the importance of aligning and optimizing the two companies’ leading multicore hardware and software solutions,” said Roger Williams, vice president, Alliances and Business Development, Wind River.
“Building on our long-standing relationship on a number of specific product lines serving many leading customers together, we are now tightly aligning our long-term product roadmaps to provide world-class multicore solutions, enabling customers to consistently get to market faster with superior, commercially supported solutions.”
“Through this agreement, we are strengthening our commercialization partnership with Wind River in the networking and telecommunications market segments for multicore software solutions,” said Rajiv Khemani, vice president and general manager, Networking and Communications Division, Cavium Networks.
“Together, Wind River and Cavium will help our common customers get to market faster with a highly optimized solution that spans the breadth of Cavium’s multicore processors and Wind River’s embedded software portfolio. In addition to the current OCTEON family of processors, customers can expect future OCTEON processors will be supported and optimized by Wind River quickly after market launch.”
The Cavium Networks OCTEON family of Multi-Core MIPS64 processors is among the industry’s most scalable, highest-performance, and lowest-power solution for intelligent networking applications ranging from 100Mbps to 40Gbps.
These software-compatible processors, with one to thirty-two cnMIPS cores on a single chip, integrate next-generation networking I/Os along with the most advanced security, storage, and application hardware acceleration, offering unprecedented throughput and programmability for the Layer 2 through Layer 7 processing requirements of intelligent networks.
Wind River’s comprehensive set of multicore software solutions deliver a flexible set of multicore software configurations, including Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP), Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP), virtualization and network acceleration and offload; Wind River Workbench, an award-winning, Eclipse-based collection of tools for optimizing multicore software design; and a choice of industry leading operating systems VxWorks and Wind River Linux.
