MILPITAS, Calif., July 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LSI Corporation
(NYSE: LSI) today announced the availability of a family of network
accelerator cards that offload complex, compute-intensive
functions, delivering high performance and reducing time to market.
The accelerator cards come in a variety of industry form factors
and are highly programmable, allowing OEMs to use existing software
investments and reducing development costs.
The LSI® Axxia® Network Accelerator and
Axxia Media Accelerator cards provide OEMs with solutions for
real-time, deterministic acceleration of applications such as
network intelligence, server load balancing, unified threat
management, media transcoding and data analytics. These robust
accelerator cards offload the host processor, resulting in a
performance boost and lower power consumption that increases
productivity while decreasing operating expenses.
"Packet and media processing applications are increasingly
causing bottlenecks in today's network environments," said
Jon Devlin, director, Ecosystem
Enablement, LSI. "The range of network accelerator solutions from
LSI is fully supported by our ecosystem partners to help customers
increase performance and lower latency for demanding IP-based
activities in enterprise, data center and service provider
environments."
The Axxia Network Accelerator family consists of the Intelligent
Services Adapter, a PCI Express® card for standard x86 servers, and
the Advanced Mezzanine Card, designed for ACTA-based telecom
chassis. The Axxia Media Accelerator, delivered as a PCI Express
card, accelerates rich media processing in x86 servers. The entire
family of network accelerator cards from LSI is supported by
best-in-class capabilities offered by the LSI networking ecosystem,
helping customers to deploy solutions at lower costs while giving
them additional software resources for their products and enabling
faster time to market.
"Our assessment of the Axxia platform confirms it as a strong
target for our 6WINDGate™ packet processing software," said
Eric Carmes, CEO of 6WIND. "A
combined hardware-software solution can be optimized for high
performance while also minimizing system-level power consumption.
This type of integrated solution is also critical to reducing the
development time for complex products in networking, cloud and
mobile infrastructure markets."
"The robust deterministic attributes of the LSI communication
and media processors provide maximum network throughput while
preserving valuable CPU cycles for application processing," said
Eddie Lai, director of business
development, Advantech Networks and Telecom Group. "The cards
allow OEMs to rapidly deploy solutions which meet the power,
performance and lower-cost demands of next-generation mobile
infrastructure elements in the Radio Access Network and the Evolved
Packet Core."
The entire family of network accelerator cards is immediately
available from LSI. To learn more about these and other LSI
