Netronome, a leading developer of highly programmable semiconductor products, recently announced its new NFP‐32xx family of Network Flow Processors™ that are backward-compatible with Intel.
“Netronome is pleased to announce the NFP as a testament to the shared vision we have with our customers that every packet will be intelligently and securely processed,” Niel Viljoen, founder and CEO of Netronome, said. “Customers migrating from existing [Intel] IXP28XX designs, and those building new heterogeneous designs based on the NFP coupled with multicore CPUs are now able to realize that vision.”
The NFP‐32xx is the industry’s first processor to remove the barriers in unified computing architectures by combining the NFP’s high‐performance network, content and security processing with general purpose processors, such as Intel’s IA, through I/O virtualization. For communications equipment designers whose network processing needs reach beyond the basics, the NFP‐32xx provides intelligent packet processing and a power-efficient design.
Developing products used for intelligent flow processing in network and communications devices, Netronome’s solutions include network flow processors and acceleration cards that scale to more than 20Gbps. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Netronome also has operations in San Jose, Calif., Boxborough, Mass., the United Kingdom, China and South Africa.
