TAIPEI, Taiwan and SAN FRANCISCO, June 4,
2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cavium, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading
provider of semiconductor products that enable intelligent
processing for enterprise, data center, wired and wireless
networking today announced support for EdgeX Foundry.™ Hosted
by The Linux Foundation, EdgeX Foundry is a vendor-neutral open
source project building a common interoperability framework
to facilitate an ecosystem for IoT edge computing.
Available immediately on the OCTEON TX® family of products,
including the CN80xx/81xx and the CN83xx series, EdgeX Foundry
hosts a full hardware- and OS-agnostic reference software
platform to enable an ecosystem of
plug-and-play components that unifies the
marketplace and accelerates the deployment
of IoT solutions.
Advanced automation has changed the nature of manufacturing and
led to a redesign of production lines. The connectivity and
security of the data sensors has created challenges in both latency
and the sheer volume of data being processed in real time. With the
upcoming advent of 5G and the increased data requirements, having
intelligent edge services is a critical requirement for future 5G
networks.
OCTEON TX SoCs in combination with EdgeX Foundry provides an
ideal platform to manage this new paradigm. The OCTEON TX family of
highly integrated Arm® processors allows customers to provide
scalable low latency solutions to meet these needs.
"Edge computing extends the concepts of distributed computing to
the very edge of the network providing services and control closely
aligned to real time needs for future IoT and 5G networks. As well
as providing live traffic analysis," said Raj Singh, Vice President
& General Manager of the Network & Communication Group at
Cavium. "This alleviates the load on the core network and provides
significantly better response and throughput for the entire
network."
"Interoperability and unification of standards is vital for
companies that are developing commercial solutions on the IoT Edge,
which is why EdgeX Foundry is a perfect fit for Cavium," said
Keith Steele, Chair of the EdgeX
Foundry Technical Steering Committee and CEO of IOTech. "We are
pleased to see Cavium support EdgeX on their OCTEON TX family of
optimized Arm V8 SoCs. We believe this collaboration can help the
EdgeX ecosystem accelerate the development and deployment of
critical applications and services across a wide range of IoT use
cases."
