Skyline Unveils DataMiner 65 for IPTV Network Management
Skyline Communications is taking the wraps off the DataMiner 6.5 update to Skyline's DataMiner Network Management System platform. The multi-vendor network management solution targets operators in the IPTV, HFC broadband, broadcast and satellite industry, and with the new release offers several updates. These include the new DataMiner Cube UI, the latest version of the DataMiner CPE Manager and a new version of DataMiner's service management technology.
DataMiner Cube UI
This new user interface enables operators to interact with their entire operational ecosystem, end-to-end with greater speed and efficiency than previously available in conventional UIs, thanks to user-definable drag 'n drop capabilities, real-time and historical graphing, and intuitive system navigation methods.

NetLogic Microsystems Announces the Industry's First 40Gbps Wire-Speed and Fully Deterministic Layers 2 - 7 Intelligent Processing Solution
Santa Clara, Calif. - July 7, 2010 - NetLogic Microsystems, Inc announced the industry's first fully deterministic intelligent networking solution capable of concurrently processing advanced Layers 2 - 7 functions at 40Gbps

wire-speed. By using market-leading, best-in-class multi-core processing and knowledge-based processing technologies from NetLogic Microsystems, the new innovative NLX321103A solution enables the simultaneous and deterministic processing of complex networking functions such as deep packet content inspection, application-aware switching and routing, intrusion prevention (IPS), anti-virus/malware, network service management, packet ordering, parsing, IPv6/IPv4 forwarding, classification, IPSec/SSL encryption, ACL security, compression/decompression and quality-of-service (QoS) at 40Gbps wire-speed.
The exponential growth of converged voice, video and data traffic over IP-based networks, coupled with the rapid adoption of services and applications over mobile devices, is driving the need for networking equipment to concurrently support all Layers 2 through 7 functions and to be able to process network traffic at wire speeds and with full determinism. Because available competitive solutions provide non-deterministic, high latency and best-effort packet processing, networking original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have been forced to compromise network integrity by separating Layers 2 - 4 and Layers 4 - 7 processing on different cards and then selectively performing certain functions only on a fraction of the traffic. NetLogic Microsystems' 40Gbps NLX321103A solution enables next-generation switches, routers, access aggregation, metro Ethernet, service gateways, security appliances and storage appliances to perform uncompromised L2 - L7 packet processing on every packet of traffic with minimal network latency under a wide variety of Internet traffic scenarios, which in turn ensures predictable network behaviors and eliminates network bottlenecks.
NetLogic Microsystems' 40Gbps wire-speed L2 - L7 solution incorporates 32 NXCPUs™ from its best-in-class XLP™ multi-core, multi-threaded processor family, along with 128 knowledge-based processing engines, 196 Intelligent Fabric for Automata
(IFA) engines from its market-leading NETL7™ processor family and over 40 fully-autonomous programmable processing engines - all tightly coupled and working in concert to deliver deterministic wire-speed performance.

Central to the L2 - L7 processing solution is the industry's leading XLP multi-core, multi-threaded processor, which is powered by 32 NXCPUs that operate at up to 2.0 GHz and are based on a highly innovative superscalar engine with out-of-order execution capabilities to deliver unparalleled data plane and control plane performance, as well as the ability to support billions of in-flight messages and packet descriptors. The XLP cores are quad-threaded to effectively minimize bottlenecks and memory latencies that are inherent in network data-plane processing applications. Furthermore, the 32 NXCPUs are equipped with a tri-level cache architecture with over 12.5 Mbytes of fully coherent on-chip cache which delivers 40 Terabits/sec of extremely high-speed on-chip memory bandwidth. The XLP processor also includes over 40 fully-autonomous programmable processing engines that provide independent and complete offload of additional network functions, including IPSec/SSL security encryption/decryption/authentication, packet parsing, packet queuing, packet management, compression/decompression, packet ordering, storage de-duplication, RAID5/RAID6, TCP segmentation and IEEE1588 hardware time stamping.
To complement the 32 NXCPUs, the XLP832 multi-core, multi-threaded processor interfaces directly over a 50Gb/s high-speed, low-latency serial bus to the NL11k knowledge-based processor, giving the CPUs high-speed access to 128 of NetLogic Microsystems' market-leading knowledge-based processing engines to deliver up to 1.0 billion decisions per second of advanced Layers 2 - 4 flow classification, IPv4/IPv6 forwarding, ACL security and quality-of-service (QoS) policing. The NL11k is also produced in TSMC's 40nm high performance process, again delivering optimum die size,
performance and power. The combination of the breakthrough innovations in the XLP multi-core, multi-threaded processor and NL11k knowledge-based processor, along with the high-speed interconnect allows this solution to deliver 15x the Layer 4 performance of existing solutions, thereby enabling an entirely new set of application scenarios for next-generation Internet networks. |
Wowza and SIDSA Collaborate to Deliver Integrated WebTV and MobileTV Solutions for Broadcasters
EVERGREEN, CO, July 20, 2010-Wowza Media Systems announced that SIDSA has integrated its highly touted digital TV products portfolio with Wowza Media Server 2 to extend the reach of customers' digital content to new Internet and mobile audiences.
"Our mission is to provide our customers with cutting edge multimedia technology and turnkey solutions to build their businesses with confidence and speed," said J.M. Insenser, CEO of SIDSA. "Our collaboration with Wowza stays true to that mission as the performance, extensibility and flexibility of Wowza servers provide our customers exactly what they need to enable effortless delivery of their digital content to eager new Internet and mobile TV audiences."
SIDSA, whose global customers include Spain's Telefonica, RTVE, and Axion, Italy's RAI, Russia's OTB, and many others, achieved proven interoperability between
Wowza Media Server 2 and its EtherTV gateways and Karina encoders. The SIDSA EtherTV gateway introduces digital broadcasting services directly into LAN environments to distribute live broadcast TV and radio across IP networks, and the Karina is a real-time encoder purpose-built for digital and IPTV systems.
Wowza's unified media server enables SIDSA customers to reach larger Internet and mobile audiences without having to resort to multiple costly proprietary technologies. This integrated approach provides a single platform capable of simultaneously delivering video and/or audio from a single encoded source to a multitude of clients and devices, including Flash®, Silverlight®, and QuickTime™, IPTV set-top boxes, as well as the world's leading video-friendly mobile devices including Android™ and Blackberry® phones, as well as the Apple® iPhone® and iPad®.
