New Intel Platform Provides 140 Gbps of DPI

Intel announced "..Highland Forest, a new communications platform that combines the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v2 with the next generation of the Intel® Communications Chipset Series 89xx. 

According to Steve Price [pictured], general manager of Intel’s Communication Infrastructure Division, Highland Forest will boost the performance of network traffic, delivering up to 255 million packets per second. Highland Forest will also create efficiencies for telecom customers though workload consolidation, streamlined R&D resources, common software tools and faster system integration"

According to an Intel "The Data Stack" blog post by Rose Schooler [pictured], GM and VP, Intel’s Data Center Group, (here) "With a dual-socket Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v2 platform with the Intel Communications Chipset 89xx Series, performance scales up to 255 Mpps of L3 forwarding (64 bytes packets), 110 Gbps of IPsec throughput, 200 Gbps of OpenSSL* throughput, and 140 Gbps of deep packet inspection (DPI) throughput".
