CTC to Integrate IT Services with Bivio's DPI-Enabling Platforms

Bivio Networks has entered a partnership with Itochu Techno-Solutions Corporation (CTC), an independent systems integrator in Japan. CTC will be selling Bivio’s 7000 and 2000 product series according to the new agreement. CTC will also integrate Bivio’s deep packet inspection (DPI)-enabling platforms to its advanced IT services and applications. This integration is expected to offer innovative packet processing solutions to service providers and telecommunication companies in Japan.

 

CTC will be able to offer a solution which improves performance and also reduces costs of developing and delivering security, VoIP, traffic management and application acceleration solutions by using Bivio’s DPI capabilities and scalable architecture which is based on Linux.

 

Koichi Hyodo, vice president of Japan operations, Bivio Networks (News - Alert) emphasized that with CTC’s help, Bivio will be able to expand Bivio’s presence in Japan by offering a customizable application optimized for service providers and telecommunications companies who are providing a new generation of services’

 

Junichi Maruta, general manager of Telecom Systems Planning Division, CTC noted that service providers depend on comprehensive DPI technologies which can provide network security, efficient use of applications and value-added service features. Global service providers need solutions that help them effectively plan and build future networks.

 

The Bivio 7000 series includes compact, fully programmable network appliances which have packet processing architecture besides having a set of networking features with a software platform in a standard Linux-based execution environment. The two main product groups in the platform family can deliver true line rate packet processing from 3Gbps through 10Gbps throughput.

 

Bivio 7000 series platforms are fully programmable and allow Linux-based networking applications to run on the appliance with a less porting effect. These applications are based on standard pre-ported Linux distribution with Application Programming Interface (API) compatibility. Software developers will be able to run applications soon after unpacking the device.

 

The software infrastructure components will enable developers to leverage the advanced capabilities of the platform like robust traffic management, load distribution across the multiple application processor central processing units (CPUs), high availability and system management integration.

The platform is a programmable network appliance which brings together scalable hardware architecture and other networking features in a Linux-based execution environment. Network Interface Modules (NIMs) make the deployment of the Bivio 2000 in the network simple and easy as it includes copper and fiber bypass options.

 

Bivio specializes in networking solutions for DPI-enabled applications and services which are required for network security, visibility, control and monetization. It offers wire-speed performance, better networking technologies and a standard Linux environment.

 

CTC provides advanced IT solutions for improving enterprise network systems. It caters to the telecommunications, broadcasting, finance, distribution, manufacturing, education/government, medicine, pharmaceutical/chemicals, and textiles/apparel industries.
