The biggest problems in the NAC space are (1) inability to protect branch and remote offices, (2) complexity requiring infrastructure upgrades, (3) heavy six digit price tags and (4) inability to protect against the real criminals and malicious insiders who refuse to install trust agents. We've solved all of these problems with this new appliance and couldn't have done it without the help of AMCC and their Power Architecture based embedded processor, said Gary Miliefsky, Founder & Chief Technology Officer of NetClarity, Inc.

"AMCC's Power Architecture storage processors provide the features and functions we require to implement our multi-protocol SAN routers," said Shishir Shah, Vice President and General Manager of Storage Solutions Group at QLogic. "AMCC's PowerPC 440SP empowers QLogic SANbox intelligent storage routers to deliver cost-effective SAN connectivity with high performance and high availability iSCSI and Fibre Channel Ports.

"The performance gained from the AMCC storage processor is quite significant,"said Frank Hu, Director of Product Strategy at Accusys. "AMCC's PowerPC 440SP simply empowers Accusys controllers to deliver higher performance by saturating and utilizing 100% of the fiber channel bandwidth. This is certainly critical with the deployment of 4Gb FC and 3Gb SAS solutions in the storage market. And it took only about three weeks to get the controller running. That is very fast compared to other development experiences."

"The power of the AMCC PowerPC 440SP enables all of the complex RAID operations to be performed efficiently and smoothly with very little impact on other applications," said Jemmy Lai, Manager of Product Strategy at Accusys. "This is very important so that our customers can recognize the value of our new storage management features. They can immediately employ the ease of use and flexibility when they can manipulate various RAID configurations and allocate storage resources with little impact to normal operations.
The 10GbE PHY is a critical component in our new high density switching platform, therefore we had very strict selection guidelines," noted Mike Yang, General Manager and Vice President of Quanta Computer, Inc. "AMCC met all of these requirements with their understanding of the high density system challenges, the performance of the chip and their turnkey solution. They were big differentiators in helping us meet our overall project cost, scheduling and performance guidelines.

Customers today are focused on achieving higher performance at lower power levels in ever-smaller form factors," said Rick Maule, CEO and president, NetEffect. "The SFP+ adapter is the most recent addition to our family of 10Gb accelerated Ethernet adapters, all of which have demonstrated an ability to meet the most stringent data center requirements for networking, storage and clustering. The AMCC QT2025 was a natural choice to make this form factor possible.
AMCC's S19252 provides the features, integration, and functions we require for Optium's new small form factor tunable product," said Tom Williams, Director of Product Line Management for Optium Corporation. "AMCC's S19252 empowers Optium to deliver cost-effective SFF MSA compliant products with high performance and high availability.

Tehuti Networks is extremely pleased to expand its long-standing relationship with AMCC through our SFP+ adapter offerings," said Blaine Kohl, vice president of marketing, Tehuti Networks. "These adapters provide customers the flexibility of selecting an optics module that best meets the target application while offering space and power savings over XFP adapters.

 

AMCC's Power Architecture processors and evaluation kit provide the highly reliable features, performance and functions we require for our FlexTCA management system," said Manish Singh, Vice President of Product Line Management at Continuous Computing. "The easy-to-use evaluation kit helps us to drastically reduce development time while enabling significantly lower development costs, which benefits both Continuous Computing and our customers as well.
