In an effort to further expand the functionality of Intel (News - Alert) Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), Radisys Corporation has introduced 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) controller solutions.


Intel DPDK has been developed to allow Telecom Equipment Manufacturers to maximize packet throughput and workload performance while minimizing development time.

Radisys’ 40G solution enhances the Intel DPDK beyond its current 10G functionality. Radisys’ solution provides the performance essential for high-throughput applications such as deep packet inspection, network security and wireless gateways, while reducing cost and complexity.

By providing 40G support, according to a recent statement, the new solution enables TEMs to simplify their application development and shorten development time by up to 24 months.

The Radisys 40G driver uses Mellanox (News - Alert) ConnectX-3 NICs and is ported to both the Radisys ATCA-XE100 and ATCA 4600 compute blades.

Radisys has integrated its deployment proven 3G and LTE Trillium wireless software portfolio with the Intel DPDK framework.

 When integrated with Radisys’ ATCA and Network Appliance (News - Alert)/Rackmount Server (RMS) platforms, the combination of Trillium and the Intel DPDK provides a wireless packet processing system for rapid application development and deployment.

“Our solution provides TEMs with a scalable solution with true 40G performance, making this an ideal solution for a variety of form factors from ATCA, Rackmount Servers and Network Appliances, and even to software,” said Andrew Alleman, vice president of platform engineering at Radisys. “In addition to enhancing the functionality of the Intel DPDK, we at Radisys eagerly adopted the solution within our own wireless infrastructure platforms – including the RMS-220 network appliance – continuing our focus on simplifying our customers’ development environment, accelerating their time to market and delivering valuable cost savings.”

Customers implementing the Intel DPDK will have access to Radisys’ team of experts for technical support and professional services. 

Radisys experts will also offer consultation on the extension of the solution’s functionality for fitting it into the customer’s own environments.

“Advances in Intel’s product and manufacturing technologies along with our software developments such as [the Intel DPDK] enable our customers to move further down the path of workload consolidation,” said Steve Price, general manager of Communications Infrastructure Division at Intel. “These enhancements along with Radisys 40 Gigabit Ethernet allow TEMs to not only bring application and control plane workloads onto Intel architecture, but also data plane packet processing workloads with the resulting CAPEX and OPEX (News - Alert) savings.”

Radisys will offer a live demonstration of its 40G solution and the Intel DPDK at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, Sept. 11-13, at booth #228.

Few months back Radisys Corporation announced the integration of the CounterPath Bria desktop and mobile softphone applications with Radisys' MPX-12000 broadband Multimedia Resource Function (MRF) for enhanced delivery of mobile video services.
