Netronome showcases flow processing solutions at AdvancedTCA Summit

AdvancedTCA Summit 2011, SANTA CLARA, USA: Netronome, the leading developer of network flow processors, announced that Nabil Damouny, senior director of strategic marketing, will be among the industry experts presenting at the AdvancedTCA Summit taking place November 1-2 at the DoubleTree Hotel in San Jose, California.

During the two-day event, industry leaders will deliver in-depth presentations on how AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA, the open standards platforms for embedded communications, are changing the telecom, military, enterprise and data center markets. Mr. Damouny will be discussing the use of flow processors in ATCA-based network security and monitoring applications.

“We are excited about celebrating ten years of innovation in AdvancedTCA. This year’s summit will focus on strategic directions for xTCA platforms in telecom central office, wireless systems, video processing, and military/defense applications,” said Ernie Bergstrom, chairperson of the Advanced/Micro TCA Summit. “We are pleased to welcome back Nabil as one of our expert presenters to discuss the importance of network flow processing and the increasing demand for service providers to move quickly to support 40G - and even 100G - applications.”

Damouny’s presentation, “Enhancing x86-based ATCA Platforms with inline flow-based processing,” will take place November 1 from 8:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. during a session focused on 10/40/100G Systems. He will discuss how 40/100G x86-based ATCA platforms require a companion flow processor for inline, secure and virtualized data plane processing, resulting in the best price-performance-power combination for ATCA designs. Other presenters in Damouny’s session include executives from Elma Bustronic, Z-Plane, Nucleodyne Systems, Advantech, GE Intelligent Platforms and NESA.

“The shift to 40 and 100 gigabit Ethernet is happening in telecom, military networks, and data centers,” said Damouny. “My presentation will help demonstrate methods to enhance x86-based ATCA platforms with flow processing, enabling applications to meet the performance, latency, security and virtualization requirements in these next-generation networks.”
