The Emerson Network Power ATCA-9301 is a 10-Gigabit AdvancedTCA
® (ATCA) processor blade with two many-core Cavium OCTEON 16-core processors ideal for high throughput, high compute applications.
The ATCA-9301 many-core 10-Gigabit processor blade enables the next wave of high throughput, high compute, and telecommunications data plane applications. Operating at 10Gbps full duplex speeds, the ATCA-9301 brings definitive packet processing performance and vastly improved control plane processing capabilities to the 10G application space.
Core processing is performed using two Cavium OCTEON 16-core processors for a total of 32 cores per blade. Targeted applications include network gateway and edge functions (IPsec, tunnel termination, NAT, SBC, MGW, MGC, encryption/decryption), deep packet inspection (IDS, IPS), and control plane applications (signaling, call control). By employing multi-threading and parallel processing techniques the ATCA-9301 brings a new level of performance to AdvancedTCA systems. Data plane elements in 4G wireless applications, including WiMAX and next-generation IPTV networks, will see dramatic increases in throughput and packet processing when implemented with the ATCA-9301 blade.
