SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Sept. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- Tabula Inc., announced today that they are working with
Intel Corporation to build a new multi-100 GigE line-rate packet
processing platform to deliver a flexible, high-performance
solution for next-generation data centers.
The new solution will feature Intel's silicon photonics
technology and Tabula's ABAX2P1 programmable devices and combines
long-reach and high-density with the ability to support multiple
100 Gbps flows on a single programmable device. Demonstrations of
the joint solution are to take place in Tabula's booth at the 2014
Intel Developers Forum, located within the Silicon Photonics
community. The event takes place at the San Francisco Moscone
Center on September
9-11th.
Tabula's multi-100G line-rate packet processing platform will
demonstrate a configurable low-latency 4-port 100G L2-L4 switch
designed for next-generation routers and data centers. The platform
includes two ABAX2P1 programmable devices and offers a flexible
combination of 10G, 40G and 100G interfaces in a low-latency,
energy-efficient 1U form factor. The platform scales from 112 ports
× 10G to 8 ports × 100G and is compatible with both standard 19"
rack and Open Rack specifications. Using Intel® Silicon Photonics
technology, it can transmit multiple high-bandwidth data
streams.
The platform can be used to develop custom functions such as an
embedded switches, TCAM lookup engines or regular expression
(RegEx) accelerators operating at 100G line rate. These functions
will enable new capabilites for next-generation, purpose-built,
top-of-rack (ToR) or leaf switches, aggregation or spine switches,
or embedded switches.
"Intel is pleased that Tabula has selected Intel Silicon
Photonics technology for their 100G packet-processing
platform," said Mario
Paniccia, Intel fellow and General manager of the Intel
Silicon Photonics Solutions Group. "With Tabula's platform
and Intel Silicon Photonics, customers will be able to transmit
data at speeds up to 100 Gbps and lengths of up to 300 meters that
will support the fast-evolving needs of the new data centers."
"Tabula and Intel share the view that driving 100 Gbps
connectivity into the data center has the potential to transform
their capabilities and enable new applications in cloud computing,
big data analytics, and other areas. Two key components were
missing so far: a high-performance, flexible silicon solution
delivering enough throughput on-chip, and a long-reach,
high-density connectivity solution," said Dennis Segers, CEO of Tabula. "Our collaboration
with Intel has enabled a solution to both problems, in what is
an industry first."

The multi-100 GigE line-rate packet
processing platform will be available in Q4, 2014.
