Bus Interface: 2x 10GE: PCI Express x4 or 1x 10GE: PCI Express x8

The Interphase iSPAN® 56MC2 10 GE OCTEON Packet Processor Card extends the broad portfolio of communication processing and network processing solutions to address the growing need for 10 GE wire-speed packet processing solutions for the delivery of broadband services in the Enterprise, Wireless (3G, WiMax, WLAN, Femtocell), Voice Over IP (VoIP), and IMS network infrastructure.

With its one or two 10 GE interchangeable SFP+ modules, powerful onboard OCTEON Plus packet processor, dual management interface, and upgradeable memory, the iSPAN 56MC2 is extremely versatile and provides the functionality necessary for migrating to next generation infrastructures and converged networks.

Cavium Simple Executive and Linux®-based ready-to-use application / protocol suites are available to transform the 56MC2 into a specialized communications interface which can be easily integrated into solution platforms. Interphase partners SafeNet and 6WIND offer software toolkits that have been pre-integrated with Interphase OCTEON-based solutions, taking advantage of the on-chip security accelerator: the SafeNet QuickSec™ 5.0 toolkit and 6WIND 6WINDGate™ toolkit.
