H3C, the Worldwide Market Leader in Ethernet Switching, Selects RMI's XLS Processor for ICG2200 Series Information Communication Gateway for SMB Enterprise Networks

ICG2200 Series Information Communication Gateway takes advantage of multi-core multi-threaded offering from RMI and can be utilized as access routers for network branches as well

Cupertino, CA and Beijing, China – December 2, 2008 — RMI Corporation, a leading supplier of high performance processors for communications and media, today announces that H3C Technologies Co., Limited, the leading global supplier of IP-based products and solutions, has selected RMI’s Multi-Core Multi-Threaded XLS® Processor for a series of products, including the SR66xx series secure routers, the ICG 2200 series information communication gateway, low-end security, wireless AC and switch products.

Powered by the RMI® XLS Processor™, the H3C ICG 2200 (Information Communication Gateway) is a unified communications system for the Enterprise and SMB markets. As the industry’s 1st complete unified communications gateway, H3C’s ICG2200 integrates functions of router, switch, firewall, VPN, IAD, wireless AP and accelerator into single box, providing unified communications services through WAN, LAN, VoIP, direct-line, wireless and EPON interfaces.

“We are extremely pleased to be cooperating with RMI,” said Mr. Shunlin Zhou, vice president, H3C. “The XLS series of processors has a design and architecture very similar to the XLR series of processors, which has made it very easy to transfer our existing design into new low-end products. From a software and hardware platform point of view, scalability and portability are among the top concerns in our mind when developing low-end product series with existing high-end products. RMI provides a strong platform solution that is among the best to future-proof our product offerings.”

RMI’s XLS Processor is a feature-rich general purpose processor with application specific autonomous hardware accelerators and multiple on-chip interconnect options providing an ideal combination of high level programmability, performance scalability, and intelligent packet management. The XLS Processor enables integrated control plane, data plane, and security processing in a single System-on-a-Chip (SuperSoC™) solution. The XLS Processor™ Family is optimized for applications where PCB real estate and power are at a premium, while requiring integrated network connectivity, security, and compression acceleration options. These features offered by XLS will benefit emerging standards that emphasize high data rate and low latency applications, such as SMB Networking, Wireless Infrastructure, Storage, Mobile VoIP and Video conferencing.

“With our existing success at H3C in various high-end products, to be selected as the solution of choice for the various low-end platforms is once again a validation of our leadership in high-performance processing solutions," noted Dr. Sunny Siu, president, RMI Asia. “H3C's Routers, ICG, wireless AC, security and switches are among the leading products in the market, and with the adoption of XLS into the low-end product series, we have continued to strengthen our leadership position in multi-core, multithreading for next-generation networking applications. As a strategic partner, we are extremely proud to be selected by H3C.”

RMI products push the edge of processor technology in performance and integration, and are used by system and original equipment manufacturers to address the infrastructure, enterprise, and consumer media markets. The company’s XLR®, XLS®, and Alchemy™ processor families are based on innovative MIPS®-compatible architectures creating advanced, highly-integrated designs built on leading-edge silicon process technologies.
