Continuous Computing Joins eNsemble™ Multi-Core Alliance to Drive ATCA Platform and Trillium Protocol Software Leadership for Multi-Core Processors

SAN DIEGO – April 28, 2010 – Continuous Computing®, the global provider of integrated platform solutions that address the mobile broadband capacity challenge, today announced that it has become a member of the eNsemble™ Multi-Core Alliance, a premier industry organization founded to drive best-in-class innovations in multi-core parallel processing platforms and software development. Supported by a broad base of world-class hardware and software providers, the eNsemble Multi-Core Alliance serves as the foundation upon which original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can more effectively and more efficiently develop high-performance networking equipment using industry-leading multi-core processors.

“As an early pioneer in AdvancedTCA packet processing platforms and multicore-optimized Trillium protocol software, we at Continuous Computing are excited to join forces with other technology leaders in the eNsemble Multi-Core Alliance to drive the success and proliferation of high-performance multi-core processors,” said Mike Coward, chief technology officer and co-founder at Continuous Computing. “As illustrated by our recent performance achievement of Trillium SCTP FastPath yielding over 1 million packets per second with 64K associations on only three cores of the NetLogic Microsystems XLR® processor on our FlexPacket ATCA-PP50 packet processing blade, Continuous Computing’s multicore hardware and software solutions deliver a superior set of scalable, best-in-class capabilities for Long Term Evolution (LTE), High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) wireless and packet processing applications.”

Continuous Computing’s family of FlexTCA 40G pre-integrated platforms help network equipment providers deliver the highest performance solutions for tomorrow’s network infrastructure needs – including Mobility Management Entity (MME), Serving Gateway (SGW), Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW), Gateway and Serving GPRS Support Nodes (GGSN, SGSN), Internet Offload, Policy Enforcement, Security Gateways and Service Gateways. By combining the latest multi-core packet processors, new 40G Ethernet switch devices, high capacity uplinks such as 40GbE and 100GbE and the new PICMG3.1 option 9 extension for 40G backplanes (10G Kr), FlexTCA 40G can dramatically lower cost/bit and increase ATCA system density.

Similarly, Trillium Multicore software is the first comprehensive and portable protocol suite customized for a new generation of multi-core and multi-threaded processor architectures. Trillium Multicore’s capabilities and benefits extend across the entire Trillium product line of more than 60 standards-based protocols. The result is a comprehensive and highly scalable protocol software suite that fills the gap between multi-core, multi-threaded processors and network equipment providers’ wireless and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)-based end applications, thereby taking full advantage of the parallel processing power of multi-core and multi-threaded processors.

“Continuous Computing is a recognized leader in high-performance hardware and software system solutions for advanced mobile infrastructure and wireline communications, and we welcome the company as a valuable member of the eNsemble Multi-Core Alliance,” said Behrooz Abdi, executive vice president and general manager at NetLogic Microsystems (NASDAQ: NETL), a founding member of the eNsemble Multi-Core Alliance. “By having a community of technology innovators who are respected leaders in their areas of expertise, the Alliance creates a platform on which these developers can innovate to create new applications that take full advantage of the superior performance and flexibility of multi-core processors.”
