QLogic Fibre Channel products feature StorFusion™ technology with advanced orchestration, manageability, and QoS enhancements geared towards large scale SAN deployments and flash storage applications, including VM–ID which allows end–to–end tagging of virtual machine traffic for SLA enablement and monitoring.

• LiquidIO®: 10/25/40GbE Intelligent Server/network appliance adapters accelerating performance in a Software Defined Datacenter (SDDC) for SDN and NFV application by offloading Open vSwitch with various server and network virtualization with end–to–end security in the datacenter. SDDC benefit from additional unique offload including Overlay networks, IPsec, distributed firewall, DPI for application recognition and dynamic service chaining with cloud configuration, provisioning and management with OpenStack API services and plugins. LiquidIO unique high-performance offloads drastically improves cloud scalability, with low host CPU utilization, freeing expensive CPU cores to run the most optimal VMs and applications in each compute node, reducing power and cooling and improving the overall CAPEX and OPEX.
• Encryption for Data–in–Flight
• Data Compression/Decompression
• OVS Offload with High Availability for HCI Clusters

• ThunderX®: 64–bit ARMv8 based family of workload optimized processors featuring high performance custom cores, single- and dual-socket configurations, high memory bandwidth, integrated hardware accelerators for networking, storage, and security as well as low latency Ethernet fabric for scalability.

• XPliant®: XPliant Ethernet switch family is the first to deliver a high throughput programmable datacenter switching solution that is shipping today in production. Platforms based on the XPliant Ethernet switch family leverage its programmatic control of table resources and pipeline logic to meet the specific needs of the network architecture while providing advanced packet visibility and telemetry. In addition to programmability, the XPliant family of Ethernet switches architecture offers a fully centralized, dynamically shared, allocated packet buffer to absorb large packet bursts and provide advanced traffic management functions.

Cavium to Showcase Highly Optimized Platforms for OpenStack Deployments at OpenStack Summit 2016

BARCELONA, SPAIN – Oct. 25, 2016 –Cavium, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that enable intelligent processing for enterprise, data center, cloud, wired and wireless networking, will showcase highly optimized platforms enabling OpenStack® deployments based on Cavium’s award-winning ThunderX®, LiquidIO® and FastLinQ™ Ethernet adapter product lines during OpenStack Summit being held in Barcelona Spain October 25 - 28.

OpenStack is the most widely deployed open source software for building clouds. Enterprises use OpenStack to support rapid deployment of new products, reduce costs and improve internal systems. Service providers use OpenStack to give customers reliable, easily accessible cloud infrastructure resources, supporting technologies including VMs, bare metal and containers.

Cavium's ThunderX ARMv8 based workload optimized processor integrates key capabilities that are critical for the most demanding Public and Private Cloud workloads. The OpenStack cloud infrastructure enables end users to fully utilize ThunderX features for critical workloads such as cloud storage with CEPH, Apache Hadoop for Big Data Analytics, distributed data bases such as MySQL and Cassandra and secure web serving with NGINX. ThunderX is also optimized for networking specific workloads such as Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Load-Balancing for Telco applications.

Cavium's LiquidIO II Intelligent Server adapters fully support and seamlessly integrate OpenStack software value-add functionality for application acceleration, network configuration and provisioning, security, and isolation in multi-tenant compute clusters. LiquidIO Open Virtual Switch (OVS) offload enables various Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and security features as a workload specific Virtual Network Function (VNF) or as a Service Function Chain (SFC) with seamless configuration and provisioning using OpenStack platform.

Cavium QLogic FastLinQ 45000 Series comprise the next generation of Ethernet adapters with the capability to support 10/25/40/50/100GbE while delivering a broad set of protocols, features, speeds and capabilities, including Universal RDMA, and stateless offloads for server and network virtualization. FastLinQ Ethernet Adapters are integrated with common OpenStack deployment and orchestration frameworks like Mirantis FUEL which enables OpenStack cloud deployments and operations to be simplified and accelerated.

Cavium will showcase the following ThunderX, LiquidIO and FastLinQ product lines in booth B36:

• ThunderX: 64–bit ARMv8 based SoC family of workload optimized processors with a range of SKUs and form factors optimized for hyperscale data centers targeting cloud computing and NFV, which include volume compute, storage, secure compute and networking specific workloads.
• Software Ecosystem partners supporting ThunderX including Canonical, Red Hat and SUSE
• LiquidIO: 10/25/40GbE Intelligent Server and network appliance adapters accelerating network performance for SDN and NFV application by offloading Open vSwitch and standard Overlay tunnel protocols with OpenStack API services and plugins.
