RMI's XLR Processor Powers the Evolved DPI Solution from Procera Networks to Achieve 80Gbps Throughput

  
    
  
  
    
      RMI Corporation, a leading supplier of multi-core, multi-threaded 
      processors for communications and media rich applications, and Procera 
      Networks (AMEX:PKT), a developer of Evolved Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) 
      solutions providing the most accurate traffic awareness, control and 
      protection for complex networks, today announced that Procera Networks 
      has selected the RMI® Multi-core 
      Multi-threaded XLR Processor™ for its 
      PacketLogic PL10000, a DPI appliance with up to 80Gbps of throughput.
    
    
      PacketLogic PL10000 is purpose-built with Tier-1 broadband deployments 
      in mind. With its introduction, service providers now have an incredibly 
      accurate platform that gives them the business intelligence, real-time 
      network visibility and control required to successfully roll out new 
      revenue-generating services and optimize network performance to support 
      millions of subscribers. PacketLogic PL10000 was designed as a 
      carrier-grade platform to provide the scalability, reliability and 
      flexibility needed to meet network requirements for today and tomorrow. 
      It has four times the capacity of its nearest competitor and can be 
      deployed anywhere in the network. PacketLogic PL10000 is an integrated 
      chassis based on industry standard AdvancedTCA®, 
      and ships with a new version of PacketLogic's firmware. This approach 
      reduces potential problems for the service provider and enables seamless 
      upgrades and integration.
    
    
      “RMI was our first and leading choice when 
      designing the PacketLogic PL10000,” said 
      Alexander Haväng, chief technical officer, 
      Procera Networks. “The XLR Processor is known 
      for its capabilities and performance in the security and infrastructure 
      markets. For the throughput requirements we had, the XLR732 met and 
      exceeded the expectations and allowed us to generate up to 80Gbps of 
      throughput which enables us to be recognized as the highest-performing 
      DPI platform in the industry.”
    
    
      The PacketLogic PL10000 from Procera utilizes the high-performance, 
      highly integrated XLR732 Processor from RMI, an 8-core, 32-threaded 
      device. The XLR732 processor consists of an innovative set of XLR™ 
      cores enabling up to 32 threads, or virtual CPUs (vCPUs™), 
      in a single chip. The XLR’s enhanced MIPS64® 
      compatible cores implement fine-grained, 4-way multithreading combined 
      with a multi-level hierarchy of caches, autonomous accelerators, and 
      point-to-point interconnects for data and message transfers. The 
      interconnects’ full-speed operation augment 
      application scalability and closely integrate the high performance main 
      memory controllers, level-2 caches, 10Gbps accelerated security 
      operations, and accelerated networking interfaces to deliver a 
      processing solution running at frequencies of 800MHz – 
      1.2GHz optimized for maximum throughput and workload efficiency.
    
    
      “As the leader in multi-core multi-threaded 
      communication processors we are intensely focused on enabling the next 
      generation broadband infrastructure market,” 
      said Behrooz Abdi, chief executive officer, RMI. “Procera 
      Networks has achieved a tremendous milestone with their PacketLogic 
      PL10000 product and we are thrilled to have a part in delivering this 
      high performance Evolved DPI solution.”
