6WINDGate software supports 32-core OCTEON II CN68XX processor family

6WIND, has made available of its 6WINDGate software with optimized support for the 32-core OCTEON II CN68XX processor family from Cavium, Inc. Already used by OEMs in a wide range of products based on earlier OCTEON and OCTEON Plus processors, 6WINDGate enables the development of cloud networking and mobile infrastructure equipment.

"We have had a long-term, close partnership with Cavium and many of our existing customers already run 6WINDGate on platforms based on earlier Cavium processors," said Eric Carmès, CEO of 6WIND. "Our new release leverages the high performance and deterministic, low latency of the OCTEON II CN68XX and enables customers to quickly extend their product lines for high-performance applications in cloud networking and mobile infrastructure equipment. At the same time, by maintaining full compatibility with standard Operating System APIs, 6WINDGate enables new customers to quickly develop or migrate their application software, thereby accelerating their time-to-market and reducing their schedule risk."

"We are pleased that 6WIND is releasing their comprehensive set of networking protocols for the OCTEON II processor family," said Rajiv Khemani, chief operating officer at Cavium. "The combination of OCTEON CN68XX's 32 MIPS64 "Real-Cores" and integrated Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) hardware functionality with the broad feature set of the 6WINDGate software provides an unmatched solution for networking and mobile infrastructure OEMs. 6WIND was one of the first members of the Cavium PACE ecosystem; our many years of strategic partnership enable our new and existing joint customers to develop industry leading products using the OCTEON II CN68XX family." 6WINDGate support for the Cavium OCTEON II 68XX processor family is available now.
