Advanced PayloadPlus(TM) 2200 Portfolio sets a new cost/performance
benchmark, increasing service provider revenue and reducing enterprise
costs with the highest level of integration
MILPITAS, Calif., May 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI Corporation
(NYSE: LSI) today announced a new generation of advanced communication
processors, the Advanced PayloadPlus(TM) 2200 (APP2200). The APP2200
portfolio extends the market for the LSI processor technology beyond its
traditional core, edge, and access applications and into the multi-service
business gateways. APP2200 enables networking providers with the most
powerful multi-service business gateway solutions serving the
small-and-medium business (SMB) and remote branch office (RBO) markets.
With increased demand for high-bandwidth and real-time services to
businesses, networking providers are being forced to transition from older,
general-purpose processor designs to more powerful communication
processor-based systems. The APP2200 portfolio delivers the right features
and performance to enable cost effective and scalable solutions for SMB and
RBO gateways that meet the demands for reliable real-time voice, video and
security services.
"The LSI APP2200 portfolio is the cornerstone for complete breakthrough
multi-service business gateway solutions targeted at SMB and RBO market.
LSI is setting a new industry benchmark for cost-performance and network
convergence by bringing its carrier-class technology and expertise to this
high-growth market," said Ghassan Habelrih, vice president of marketing,
Network and Storage Products Group, LSI.
Linley Gwennap, principal analyst, The Linley Group, noted, "The
APP2200 combines a proven, fast-path architecture with a powerful dual-CPU
processor core that can handle voice, security, and other applications. By
integrating these features into a single chip, the APP2200 is well
positioned to meet the needs of SMB and RBO gateways at an attractive price
point."
The total addressable market for multi-service business gateways in
2007 is expected to be $600 million and grow to more than $2 billion by
2010(1).
The APP2200 portfolio enables network equipment vendors to deliver
multi-service business gateways that support converged voice and data
functions such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), virtual private
networks (VPN), state-full inspection firewalls, Gigabit Ethernet LAN
switches, application-aware QOS, network-attached storage (NAS) and print
servers in a single scalable architecture. This portfolio processes data at
up to 3 Gigabits per second-approximately 10 times faster than alternative
solutions.
Communication processors, which have been widely used in the carrier
telecom infrastructure, are spawning new applications in the SMB and RBO
gateway market. The APP2200 portfolio makes it possible for content and
network service providers to deliver next-generation services over a single
and unified service provider, business and home network with maximum
reliability, higher quality, and higher bandwidth.
The APP2200 portfolio is built on a single architecture with a complete
software solution for all applications, accommodating a user range from 5
to more than 500. The APP2200 portfolio offers an unprecedented level of
integration including a dedicated packet processor, integrated classifier,
traffic manager, security engine, voice processing, and a high-performance
dual-core control and services processor.
As a part of the LSI TrueONE(TM) solution, the APP2200 portfolio
enables a single hardware architecture to scale from low-end SMB to
high-end enterprise gateway solutions. This high level of feature
availability and integration combined with a complete application software
package allows customers to deliver a higher level of gateway functionality
at low Bill of Materials (BOM) costs.
The APP2200 will be available in July 2007.
