Netronome, the leading developer of network
flow processors, today will discuss new processor requirements and
system design implications driven by software defined networking (SDN)
at the Linley
Tech Data Center Conference 2013 taking place February 5 - 6 at the
Hyatt Regency Hotel in Santa Clara, California.
Niel Viljoen, chief development officer and founder of Netronome will
present, "The SDN On-Ramp,” on February 5 at 10:20 a.m. An entrepreneur
and veteran of the network communications industry, Viljoen will discuss
how SDN is revolutionizing the way networks are designed and the growing
importance of flow-aware intelligence at the SDN edge.
“Data center networking is undergoing a vast transformation in order
meet the cost, manageability, and performance demands of today’s
data-intensive applications," said Viljoen. “This change is driving a
new network architecture which enables low cost silicon to form a
simple, high capacity data center fabric while flow processors service
the intelligent networking applications located at the edge of the SDN.”
“Given the latest advancements in data center and carrier networks, we
are excited to watch industry experts share their diverse perspectives
on SDN, virtualization and network convergence,” said Jag Bolaria,
senior analyst at the Linley Group. “We look forward to hearing Niel
discuss the future of intelligent networking, and the newest practices
for data center SDN deployments.”
Powered by 96 packet processing cores and 120 multi‐threaded flow
processing cores and over 100 hardware accelerators operating at up to
1.2 GHz, Netronome’s NFP‐6xxx brings breakthrough performance to a broad
range of network, security and content processing applications used in
10-400 Gbps networks designs. The NFP‐6xxx delivers 200 Gbps of packet
processing with deep packet inspection, network and security processing,
and I/O virtualization for millions of simultaneous flows and is an
Intel 22nm 3D Tri-gate design.
The two-day conference focuses on processors, components and
interconnects for data center networking and servers. For more
