Industry's First Security Platform Provides Complete Development Solution for
High Accuracy Identification and Prevention of Threats at Wire Speed
Application Throughputs
SAN JOSE and PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc.
(Nasdaq: XLNX) and Sensory Networks today announced a joint collaboration
resulting in Sensory Networks' latest network security platform. The
NodalCore(TM) Security Processing Unit (SPU), enabled by Xilinx Virtex-II
Pro(TM) and Virtex-4(TM) Platform FPGAs, is a next generation security
processor designed for high-speed analysis of network traffic by security
applications.
Easily integrated into a wide range of network and security products
through a selection of accelerator cards and accelerated appliances, the
FPGA-enabled NodalCore(TM) platform dramatically reduces design time,
engineering costs and technical risk in delivering cutting edge security
products to the market. Sensory Networks is demonstrating the NodalCore(TM)
Security Processor Unit this week at the RSA Security Conference 2005, in San
Francisco, Calif., February 14-18.
"In security, things change -- network based threats adapt in the face of
a fast moving landscape of protocols and content types. By employing Xilinx
Platform FPGAs, network equipment using NodalCore can dynamically adapt -- all
while maintaining wirespeed. This is something that no other vendor in the
marketplace is able to deliver," said Sensory Networks' chief executive
officer, Matt Barrie.
"To deal with today's alarming and unpredictable security threats, network
security equipment must be designed for both performance and flexibility.
Sensory Networks' NodalCore platform provides both the performance and
adaptability required for a gateway appliance security processor," said Robert
Bielby, senior director of Strategic Solutions Marketing at Xilinx.
