LSI Introduces Industry's First Single-Chip, Low-Cost Solution for Content Inspection

New RAM-less operating mode enables significantly lower-cost
solutions for silicon-based intrusion prevention and anti-virus
applications MILPITAS, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
LSI Corporation (NYSE:LSI) today announced the Tarari(R) T1000
series of silicon-based content inspection processors for
networking OEMs. The T1000 series supports either completely
RAM-less or single-memory chip operating modes and provides
scalable throughput up to 2 Gb/s, enabling manufacturers to
leverage a single development effort across a wide range of
performance levels. T1000 processors also occupy one-tenth the
board space of previous-generation solutions. The T1000 series is
the first regular expression (regex) processor to function
independently without any external memory for implementations
operating at data rates of 250 Mb/s and 500 Mb/s. When configured
for RAM-less mode operation, T1000 processors share host CPU system
memory, resulting in lower cost and reduced power consumption. The
simple addition of a single low-cost memory chip enables
high-performance applications operating at 1 Gb/s and 2 Gb/s rates.
In contrast, today's competing solutions require multiple,
expensive and exotic memory types to achieve multi-gigabit data
rates. The T1000 series also allows networking manufacturers to use
the same development effort across their spectrum of performance
levels from entry-level to high-end systems. Now the same regular
expression rules can be used in applications ranging from 100 Mb/s
to 10 Gb/s rates, saving engineering expense and improving time to
market. In addition to supporting real-time performance, these
solutions free up the system CPU to process additional value-added
applications. Designers also have the flexibility of reducing the
CPU clock frequency or use fewer expensive CPU cores to reduce
overall system cost and power consumption. "The new T1000 series is
targeted specifically at high-volume applications," said Randy
Smerik, senior vice president, Network Components Group, LSI. "We
have moved very quickly since Tarari joined LSI in October 2007,
and the T1000 is a good example of this. Our solutions will drive
down the overall cost of adding greater intelligence, control and
security into the network and complements our multi-gigabit
board-level products that went into production earlier this year."
Bob Wheeler, senior analyst at The Linley Group, said, "LSI is the
market leader in content inspection accelerators due to the deep
understanding of customer and application requirements demonstrated
by the Tarari team. The T1000 series delivers on this capability
once again, bringing regex acceleration to cost-sensitive designs
that previously had to rely on low-performance software
implementations." The LSI Tarari content processor family is a
comprehensive set of solutions providing security, quality of
service, content-based billing and bandwidth management functions.
These solutions support common industry interfaces and a common
application programming interface, resulting in shorter design
cycles and faster times to market. A single engineering effort can
support an entire range of networking and security products, from
100 Mb/s data rates ideal for small and medium business and remote
office/branch office applications, up to 10 Gb/s rates for the most
demanding enterprise and service provider switch applications. LSI
will be demonstrating content inspection technology in Booth #500
at the upcoming RSA Conference to be held April 7-11, 2008, at the
Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif. About LSI LSI Corporation
