CebaIP PlatformT for Data Networking and Storage Applications - CebaTech

CebaTech Inc introduce the CebaIP PlatformT. The platform is a protocol-complete hardware and software framework for developing end-to-end data and storage networking solutions. Using the CebaIP Platform's integrated advanced DMA controller with the OpenBSD software driver, designers are able to rapidly achieve complete data networking and storage product solutions. Implementation of this platform is supported for both ASICs and FPGAs.

Chad Spackman, CebaTech, claim:

No other IP platform or subsystem offering dedicated to data and storage networking applications with this level of functional integration exists in the market…

Customers can choose from available platform configurations now, and grow with the platform over time to greater levels of integration and function to meet the changing demands of their respective markets…

The CebaIP Platform enables modular protocol-level connectivity between the MAC layer and host application layer interface. With supported data rates from 1 to 10 Gb/s, customers can choose from various platform configurations to meet the needs of their specific data and storage networking products.

Platform configurations initially supported by the CebaIP Platform includes GZIP-based compression and decompression with optional advanced encryption standard (AES) support. A second configuration includes partial TCP/IP offload with optional link aggregation, VLAN, and large send offload (LSO) support. Both configurations are available with the CebaIP Platform advanced descriptor-based DMA controller and OpenBSD reference software driver.

GZIP-based compression and decompression is available now for initial customer engagements, with general availability in late second quarter of 2007. The partial TCP/IP offload configuration will be available in the third quarter of 2007. Future configurations-including full TCP/IP offload, Internet protocol security (IPSec), iSCSI initiator and target, RDMA, and advanced rule-based filtering-will be released in late 2007 and early 2008.
