Capabilities for the Converged Digital Office
Redefining convergence and integration, SoC offers secure
multi-service, voice enabled, and centrally managed network
devices
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 19, 2009 -
Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) , a leader in storage,
communications, and consumer silicon solutions, today
announced the Marvell(R) Integrated Secure-Switch-Router (ISSR).
The ISSR architecture features a single chip SoC platform
that integrates Marvell's Sheeva(TM) gigahertz class
processor, VoIP, security processing, and full wire-speed
multi-layer Ethernet switching to provide an optimal,
consolidated office-in-a-box solution. The ISSR is intended
to address the requirements of small and medium businesses (SMB),
enterprise branch offices, internet cafes, and facilities
dedicated to education.
"Traditional networks typically combine four to six network
devices such as gateway routers, access points, Ethernet
switches, firewall/VPN, print servers, and IP-PBXs," said
Michael Zimmerman, Senior Director Marketing for Ethernet
Access in the Enterprise Business Unit, Consumer and
Communications Business Group at Marvell Semiconductor. "Our
new offering enables consolidation of the digital office
network into a single network element. The Marvell ISSR
offers multi-functional capabilities and convergence of
routers, switches, security, VoIP, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE),
and WiFi management in one system, driving lower operating
expenses and power consumption."
With value-added applications from companies such as
BroadWeb, Microsemi Corporation, Napera Networks, and
TeamF1, Inc., the ISSR platform fulfills the requirements of
SMB, enterprise branch offices, and public structures by
offering open application program interfaces (API) to
third-party software providers.
Focused on intrusion prevention features to protect the
network from external threats, Marvell's collaboration with
BroadWeb, a leading provider in the Intrusion Prevention
System (IPS) network security market, takes ISSR to the next
level of SMB and small and medium enterprise (SME) security
devices. "Having almost a thousand different applications in
the BroadWeb(R) application signature suite, the ISSR equips
customers with exceptional application layer protection
including application classification, peer-to-peer (P2P)
traffic control, worm/virus protection, Denial of Service (DoS)
attacks, and hacker prevention," said Dr. Terence Liu, CEO
of BroadWeb. "All this, without impacting the overall switch
performance, thereby providing a comprehensive secure
solution for SMB and SME customers."
"Porting the PoE management software to run on the Marvell
ISSR was one of the most successful projects undertaken by
Microsemi," said Daniel Feldman, Director of Marketing at
Microsemi Corporation. "The ISSR integration and compute
power provides the right amount of bandwidth and dedicated
interfaces to allow our customers to increase PoE
performance while reducing the overall PoE system bill of
materials by 15 percent."
"TeamF1 is pleased to have cooperated with Marvell to have
our Security Gateway Solution software productized for the
Marvell ISSR and Sheeva(TM) processor family," said Mukesh
Lulla, President and CEO of TeamF1, Inc. "This cooperation
with Marvell accelerates bringing to the SMB market more
innovative, comprehensive, and user-friendly security
solutions."
"Napera Networks collaborated with Marvell to offer the
industry an innovative multi-service security solution for
SMB and SME customers," said Todd Hooper, CEO and founder of
Napera Networks. "The combination of the Marvell ISSR
platform with Napera's online security service enables IT
managers to easily keep all computers up-to-date, making
their networks secure, productive, and cost effective. We
believe that ISSR products with the Napera service will be
the customers' first choice for new product designs shipping
in the second half of this year."
The ISSR is currently being sampled by early customers. For
