Continuous Computing Adds Procera Networks to Growing List of FlexTCA Customers Building High Performance Solutions for the DPI and Security Industry

Posted on: Tuesday, 17 June 2008, 06:00 CDT

Continuous Computing(R), global provider of integrated systems and services that enable telecom equipment manufacturers to rapidly deploy Next Generation Networks (NGN), today announced from NXTcomm 2008 that Evolved DPI solutions developer Procera Networks has selected Continuous Computing's fully-integrated FlexTCA(TM) system for the company's recently introduced PacketLogic PL10000, the industry's highest-performance Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) platform for service providers. Procera chose the FlexTCA system for its advanced packet processing capabilities and to accelerate time-to-market, thus enabling the early introduction of the PacketLogic PL10000 80Gbps traffic management and security application, which is being deployed for the first time this month.

"Procera's PacketLogic PL10000 enables advanced traffic management and security capabilities, based on user and service, which will allow operators to increase bandwidth, gain visibility, optimize network performance, and roll out new revenue-generating services," said Mike Dagenais, president and chief executive officer of Continuous Computing. "By leveraging the fully-integrated capabilities of Continuous Computing's FlexTCA system, plus performance optimization provided by our Trillium Professional Services team, Procera has been able to mitigate risk and optimize its solution while also introducing the PacketLogic PL10000 to the market months, if not years, earlier than if they had developed the entire system in-house."

As a pre-integrated, Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) system, FlexTCA helps customers like Procera avoid the extra cost, time, and resources associated with standard system integration and enables customers to focus their resource and development budgets on valued-added services. FlexTCA's unprecedented level of integration has the potential to reduce TEM development time by as much as 24 months while enabling significantly lower development costs. FlexTCA is designed for 99.999 percent availability and comes in a number of form factors to meet specific network capacities.

FlexTCA delivers advanced switching and packet processing unequaled in the ATCA market today and provides Procera with the ability to handle complex IP traffic headers at line rate with minimal packet loss. Continuous Computing's Trillium Professional Services team worked closely with Procera during the development and release phases to qualify, integrate, test, and optimize different configurations in the FlexChassis(TM) 5U and 12U ATCA carrier-class shelves - with AC and DC power options for both carrier network and data center deployments - thus enabling Procera's customers to scale from low-profile to high-capacity deployment options and maximize throughput for market-leading performance.

"Continuous Computing's tightly integrated FlexTCA system enables PacketLogic's 80Gbps DPI performance - an entirely new level of speed," said Alexander Havang, chief technical officer of Procera Networks. "With Continuous Computing's high quality FlexTCA systems and their employees' incredible support and flexibility, we were able to maximize the performance of our Evolved DPI service creation platform and roll out our first customer deployment much faster than we thought possible."
