New NAP enables high performance networking applications providing OEMs with unequalled performance in a cost-effective, power-stingy design

SAN FRANCISCO (LinuxWorld Conference & Expo, Booth 840) – August 15, 2006 – Movidis, Inc. today announced its first product for OEM manufacturers of high performance enterprise networking equipment. Based on the Cavium Networks OCTEON™ CN3860 16-core MIPS64 processor, the Movidis x16 Network Application Platform (NAP) enables the fast development of high performance next-generation networking appliances, and provides unequalled performance in a cost-effective, power-stingy design.

"We designed the NAP to provide two key benefits to OEMs. The first is to enable high performance network applications – without a custom board or ASIC design. The second is to provide a flexible platform that speeds new products to market," said Ken Goldsholl, CEO of Movidis. "The applications for the NAP are broad, and the fact that it ships running Linux makes it incredibly easy for users to take advantage of the variety of open source opportunities available today."

With its multi-purpose, powerful design, the Movidis x16 NAP also includes integrated acceleration engines for TCP, QoS, encryption, and compression, so that most of the 9.6GHz of processing power can be freed up for high layer network applications – like network security, intrusion detection, load balancing, WAN optimization, network storage, or network access control.

Additionally, the x16 NAP allows customers to fully exploit the power of the OCTEON with a 133 MHz/64-bit PCI-X bus, which is connected to an 8-port SATA II/SAS controller and a full speed expansion slot. Eight 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports are provided, along with four sockets for DDR2 registered DRAM DIMMs. All of these features, and more, fit onto an industry standard extended ATX PCB, so it can be installed in any standard 1U rack mount chassis.

The NAP is available now and will be available in OEM quantities starting below $2,000
