Ismosys has signed a Pan-European agreement with 6WIND, the provider of embedded software which maximizes multi-core performance while significantly minimizing design complexities, time and costs.

6WIND’s 6WINDGate software targets multi-core based equipment for telecommunications, security and network equipment manufacturers, and their embedded chipset designers. The solution simplifies application development for maximizing multi-core processing, thus reducing development time and costs. 6WINDGate™ is an off-the-shelf and open software that acts as middleware between the executive environment (low-level library for multi-core hardware support) of a multi-core processor and the actual applications running on equipment used to deliver advanced services, to simplify and expedite application development.

Comments David Thomas, Ismosys’ director of Strategic Business Development: “The multi-core executive environment is well known as being difficult and costly to build applications and services upon, often requiring the addition of multiple design cycles, leading to longer development times and higher costs. By providing such a middleware engine, 6WIND hides the complexities of developing applications on multi-core based equipment to develop applications necessary for next generation equipment, such as Femto gateways, BTS, ASN gateways, aggregation routers for wireless infrastructure (2.5G - 3G, WiMAX), Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliances and IPTV, ToIP servers.”

He continues: “6WIND is also an excellent fit with some of our other franchise partners, including Cavium.”

Adds Pascal Delannoy, European Sales Director for 6WIND: “Teaming with Ismosys allows 6WIND to address new markets within Europe. Through ISMOsys, a single point offering of hardware and software tools and solutions enable telecoms (4G, LTE, WiMAX) and enterprise (UTM, VoIP, ToIP, content inspections) applications to scale when network traffic grows using 6WINDGate networking software. This is an excellent, positive step in building upon the success 6WINDGate has encountered with numerous tier one telecoms manufacturers that require the performance breakthrough delivered by multi-core CPUs.”
