The AXE2502 processor offloads complex networking tasks from servers and networking equipment, improving performance and reducing power consumption.
The growth in cloud services driven by demand for mobile broadband and dynamic, flexible enterprise IT is straining the ability of datacenter networking equipment to keep up. Designed for enterprise networking equipment such as switching and routing line cards, the AXE2502 processor accelerates enterprise and cloud datacenter workloads. It combines the efficiency and performance of hardware accelerators with the programmable flexibility of PowerPC processors to accelerate complex tasks such as control plane processing, statistics, security and deep packet inspection.
The AXE2502 is designed to deliver deterministic, predictable network performance for datacenters by offloading complex networking tasks. It supports a full offload architecture to deal with increasing control traffic in both traditional and software-defined networks and provides software compatibility with the entire Axxia family of communication processors, allowing software reuse and reducing development costs
“Today’s enterprise and cloud datacenters are dealing with both massive data growth and the impact of virtualization, creating network bottlenecks,” said Noy Kucuk, vice president of marketing, Networking Components Division at LSI. “The Axxia communication processor delivers intelligent acceleration to help datacenter architects cope with traffic growth.”
Available in two configurations supporting different external interfaces, the AXE2502 communication processor is expected to be available to networking OEMs in the third quarter of 2012.
