Pre- Market News Review: Cavium (NASDAQ:CAVM), Quest Diagnostics (NYSE:DGX), Gulfport Energy (NASDAQ:GPOR)

On Tuesday, Cavium Inc (NASDAQ:CAVM)’s shares inclined 1.03% to $74.65.

Cavium Inc (CAVM) declared the demonstration of the OpenFlow and OpenFlow-Hybrid XPliant®-based platforms for Software-Defined Networking (SDN) at Open Networking Summit (ONS) 2015. Cavium’s XPliant Ethernet switches deliver full line rate support in OpenFlow through XPliant’s SDK APIs and integration of Open vSwitch (OVS).

OpenFlow and OVS are designed to enable massive network automation in a multi-vendor standards-based environment. OpenFlow is the industry leading standard protocol to separate the control and the data plane of SDN architecture. While this protocol provides an ideal scenario for networking operators, the XPliant Ethernet switches are able to demonstrate these capabilities at 3.2 terabits per second in a completely flexible manner.

Existing silicon switch solutions map OpenFlow constructs to fixed pipelines and tables intended for historical switching protocols. These solutions do not provide the flexibility that network operators require in order to effectively control and automate their networks. In addition, these architectures leverage shallow TCAM resources that do not provide the desired level of scalability.

Cavium, Inc. designs, develops, and markets semiconductor processors for intelligent and secure networks in United States and internationally. It offers integrated semiconductor processors for wired and wireless networking, communications, storage, cloud, wireless, security, video, and connected home and office applications.
