WIN SoNIC network acceleration board for Communications Infrastructure

WIN Enterprises has announced the introduction of the WIN SoNIC network acceleration board. WIN SoNIC is an instantiation of the Intel platform for communications infrastructure, formerly codenamed “Crystal Forest.” The WIN SoNIC uses software from Wind River and other Intel Intelligent Systems Alliance members to consolidate network workloads through integrated data preprocessing, deep packet inspection, crypto acceleration, and dual 10 GbE optical LAN capabilities which will be expandable to 100 GbE.

WIN SoNIC is a standard half-length PCIe card that connects to network servers through a PCIe slot to enable significant performance improvements in broadband networking. In addition, a consistent platform is provided that is easier to maintain and upgrade as broadband networking requirements inevitably increase.

The Intel platform for communications infrastructure and WIN SoNIC board consolidate key networking workloads to enable faster, more efficient processing in the Application, Control and Packet/Content planes of the network. WIN SoNIC supports the 32nm Intel Xeon processor E3-1125 or Intel Core processor i3-2115 with 2 or 4 cores and HyperThreading Technology — one of the CPU families compatible with the Intel Communications Chipset 89xx series.

The Intel Communications Chipset 89xx series supports the preprocessor. This versatile chipset integrates Intel QuickAssist Technology to accelerate cryptographic, data compression, and pattern matching services. WIN SoNIC augments the platform specification by providing the Intel 82599ES 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller with dual 10GbE optical LAN ports. WIN SoNIC provides the OEM with a range of SFP-based I/O options for SFP+ optical port connectivity through PCIe x8 and LAN expansion modules to 100GbE.

Key Features:
-Supports 32nm Intel Xeon processor E3-1125 or Intel Core processor i3-2115 with 2 or 4 cores
-Supports the Intel Communications Chipset 89xx series with Intel QuickAssist technology
-Supports dual 10 GbE optical LAN with modular expansion to 100 GbE
