Cavium to Showcase Products for Securing the Enterprise, Cloud & Service Provider Infrastructure at RSA Conference 2016

Live demonstrations of Industry leading security processing and key management solutions

SAN JOSE, CA, Feb 29, 2016 – Cavium, Inc., (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that enable intelligent processing for enterprise, data center, cloud, wired and wireless networking, today announced that it will showcase market leading security products including LiquidSecurity™, NITROX®, ThunderX® and OCTEON® III for the Enterprise, Cloud & Service Provider infrastructure at the RSA Conference 2016 in South Hall in Booth S2321.

With the rapid growth of multi-tenant data centers and expansion of enterprise boundaries over the cloud, vulnerability of the network infrastructure has increased. This trend mandates implementation of security at multiple layers of the network. Enterprises, cloud and service provider infrastructure providers are driving to move and deploy comprehensive Layer 3 to Layer 7 security across every node as well as fully encrypted node to node traffic both within the LAN as well as the WAN. The proliferation of mobile devices is driving the demand for Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for establishing security tunnels. These trends are driving strong momentum in the security segment for Cavium products. Cavium continues to be a leading solution provider in this market with a comprehensive product portfolio.

Cavium unveils 4G and 5G solutions for Next Generation Carrier Infrastructure at Mobile World Congress 2016

Demonstrates Industry-leading NFV, SDN and C-RAN solutions for LTE-A & upcoming 5G Infrastructure deployments

SAN JOSE, CA, BARCELONA, SPAIN Feb 22, 2016 – Cavium, Inc., (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that enable intelligent processing for enterprise, data center, wired and wireless networking, today announced that it will showcase its wide array of complementary technologies for SDN, NFV and C-RAN targeting advanced 4G and 5G networks using Cavium’s ThunderX COTS ARMV8 processors, OCTEON Fusion-Mbaseband processors, OCTEON Multi-Core Processors, LiquidIO Intellignet NICs and LiquidSecurity key management solutions at this week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona , Spain.

The ability to seamlessly integrate new technologies such as Network Function Virtualization (NFV) which removes the constraints of fixed function network components and allows scalable multi function networks, Cloud RAN (C-RAN) a special use case of NFV for centralizing and managing varying Radio Access Nodes, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) for increasing autonomy and decision making at the edge of the network provides an innovative and scalable solution for many of the issues faced by carriers as they expand existing networks and look to the needs of the 5G future.

The significant demand for faster data rates, increased security and lower latency connections is fueling the demand for dramatically improved technologies to play key role in 4G networks and will be fundamental to 5G architectures.

“The challenges inherent in next-generation carrier networks will be simplified by virtulization technologies including NFV and SDN,” said Linley Gwennap, Principal Analyst of The Linley Group. “Cavium’s ThunderX server processors are optimized for these workloads, making them well suited for NFV deployments.”

Cavium will exhibit the following technology solutions at MWC 2016 Booth 2M33:

• Carrier grade NFV: Fully OPNFV compliant MontaVista Carrier Grade NFV showcasing a complete E2E Cloud-RAN solution on a highly scalable ThunderX ARMv8 NFV server processor.
• SDN, NFV Cloud / Centralized RAN: Fully Programmable, low latency SDN–based RAN solution for LTE and 5G based on ThunderX workload optimized server processors and single chip OCTEON Fusion-M Smart Radio Head solutions supporting multiple C-RAN splits including RLC, MAC-PHY. The demo also showcases RAN orchestration and dynamic resource allocation using SDN control.
• Multimode MacroCell on a Chip: OCTEON Fusion-M multimode “Macrocell Basestation on a Chip” for LTE Rel12/WCDMA/GSM..
• Telco Cloud and NFV acceleration: Liquid IO intelligent server NIC cards offloading multiple functions including IPSec, OVS, Service Function Chaining and DPI.
• Security as a Service for Telco Cloud: LiquidSecurity appliance for high performance security and comprehensive key management in the cloud..

“Mobile World Congress 2016 is a unique opportunity for our OEM customers and Service Providers to see the exciting silicon and software products from Cavium,” said Syed Ali, President & CEO of Cavium. “The rapid increase in mobile data and the move to NFV and 5G necessitates a new generation of silicon solutions with massive increases in throughput and security for wireless infrastructure.”

Cavium and Argela to Deliver ProgRAN, a Fully Programmable, SDN-based RAN Solution for LTE and 5G

SAN JOSE, CA, BARCELONA, SPAIN Feb 22, 2016 – Cavium, Inc., (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that enable intelligent processing for enterprise, data center, wired and wireless networking, today announced that it has expanded its partnership with Argela, a member of Turk Telekom group, to include the availability of ProgRAN on Cavium’s OCTEON Fusion-M™ and ThunderX® network infrastructure processors.  ProgRAN is a fully programmable, SDN-based RAN solution for LTE and 5G developed by Argela.

The tremendous growth in wireless Internet use is showing no signs of slowing down. The explosion in this demand is not only due to the increase in the number of connections but also due to the multimedia-rich applications, which form the majority of these connections. Existing cellular networks will be insufficient, in part due to their inflexible and expensive equipment, as well as the complex and non-agile control plane of today’s wireless networks.

Argela’s newly announced ProgRAN solution paired with Cavium’s leading OCTEON Fusion-M baseband processors and Cavium’s ThunderX, a 64-bit ARMv8 SoC for next generation Data Center and Telco Cloud Applications, is applicable for both typical BTS and Cloud RAN deployments.

Using ProgRAN, MSPs may deploy, modify or introduce different scheduling, admission control and handover management algorithms to different flows in different parts of their network and conduct such controls via a simple programming interface.

Next Generation 5G technologies will include new, higher-frequency spectrum, including millimeter wave, Massive MIMO and optimized modulation, coding, and multiple access technologies for the new spectra to satisfy the growing demand in wireless connectivity as well as associated data rates using technologies like:

• ·Network Function Virtualization (NFV)                                                               The industry trend away from vertically integrated, inflexible and non-scalable equipment within the network towards software running on off-the-shelf ThunderX ARM servers in the cloud.
• Software-Defined Networking (SDN)                                                                   For both the Core and Radio Access Networks, so that MSPs may develop new revenue sources via programmable control of the network.

The key differentiator for 5G systems will be the orchestration of the overall system (CN+RAN) control to realize the benefits of Telco Cloud while taking full advantage of the transport capacity over a multitude of spectra and distributed over a large geographical area.

“We have worked closely with Argela to leverage our experience in NFV/CRAN operator trials both on ThunderX and OCTEON Fusion-M to bring this very exciting product to market. As an OCTEON Fusion-M licensee, Argela has access to Cavium’s leading silicon and software technologies for NFV/CRAN implementations,” said Raj Singh, General Manager, Wireless Broadband Group, Cavium, Inc.  “We are very excited by Argela’s innovative architecture and look forward to working closely with them to enable rapid adoption of this exciting new technology.”

“Cavium’s OCTEON Fusion-M baseband CNF75XX solution coupled with its world class ThunderX 64-bit ARMv8 SoC for next generation Data Center and Telco Cloud Applications is a perfect platform for our SDN/NFV implementation,” said Dr. Oguz Sunay Chief Technology Officer, Argela. “Together we provide an excellent integrated solution that addresses the needs of the rapidly developing 5G marketplace while providing scalability, reliability and
