Continuous Computing Selects RMI’s Multi-Core, Multi-Threaded DPI Processing Solution for PP20 AMC Card

FlexPacket AMC-PP20 Highlights RMI XLS616 Processor Operating at up to 1.0GHz for Leading Edge AMC Performance

San Francisco, CA, April 22, 2009 – At the RSA Security Conference, RMI Corporation, a leading provider of high-performance processors for communication and media rich applications, and Continuous Computing®, the only company deploying uniquely architected systems comprised of telecom platforms and Trillium® software, today announced that Continuous Computing has selected RMI’s multi-core multi-threaded XLS®616 Processor for its FlexPacketTM AMC-PP20. The PP20 provides a powerful Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) solution in a modular form factor that can be applied to a range of access and edge applications including Long Term Evolution (LTE) enodeB, security and DPI offload, security acceleration, service and policy control engines, convergence gateways, and aggregation devices.

DPI has become an essential feature allowing carriers and ISPs to identify and act upon the traffic flowing in their networks. By providing information about the traffic profile, user, source, and destination, it is possible to introduce tiered services, assured customer QoS, and improved network efficiency, all of which lead to new revenue opportunities, lower churn, and lower operating and capital expenditures.

Designed to complement Continuous Computing’s ATCA-based family of DPI solutions, the PP20 is a cost-effective and highly integrated Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) targeted for access, enterprise, and small form factor deployment environments. The module supports the core AMC.0 standard and interconnects including AMC.1 (PCIe), AMC.2 (GbE), and AMC.4 (Serial Rapid IO).

“We are excited to continue advancing our partnership with Continuous Computing,” said Mark Litvack, director, business development, RMI. “The PP20 is a great example of the depth and breadth that the XLS Processor® family can reach. By delivering an AMC focused on DPI, the PP20 gives customers a very scalable solution and enables customers in access, enterprise, and other markets.”

The PP20 features the highly integrated RMI XLS616 Processor with four multi-threaded MIPS64 cores delivering high performance. The XLS Processor family provides an innovative and proprietary security engine supporting a wide range of encryption and authentication standards such as Kasumi. The PP20 further complements these capabilities with an external security engine supporting Snow3G as used in future Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless networks.

“RMI was a natural fit for the PP20 AMC; the scalable architecture enables customers to drive toward a variety of cost/performance models and this gives us a very compelling advantage in the market,” said Karl Wale, director of product line management, Continuous Computing. “By incorporating the XLS Processor in the PP20, we complement our edge and core DPI platform solutions that feature RMI’s XLR Processor family in our flagship FlexPacket ATCA-PP50.”FLEXPACKET AMC-PP20 WITH XLS616 FEATURES + BENEFITS
