Today’s network infrastructure managers require execution of applications at multi-gigabit line rates, real-time deep packet processing and consolidation of multiple applications on the same system. Neither general-purpose server platforms nor specialized systems provide the network performance and flexibility to be the foundation of a scalable, adaptable, and modular network infrastructure platform that provides IT managers superior cost-performance, investment protection, and flexible upgrade paths.
Bivio has fused the two pillars of network system design, packet processing and control, into a network infrastructure platform that offers unmatched flexibility and uncompromising performance.
Bivio provides application processing CPUs for control, network processing components for packet processing, and a feature-rich software architecture for these subsystems to dynamically interact. In addition, a unique scaling technology enables the matching of network resource requirements with the demands of the individual application and operating environment. The result is a next generation network infrastructure, optimized for flexibility and scalability.
What are the results, both financial and social? How has the nominee's business performed, and what impact has it had on the problem it addresses? (suggested length: 100 words)
Bivio partners with leading technology vendors to strategically incorporate their technology into the core Bivio platform. These partners are chosen for their technical innovation and are an integral part of the Bivio Network Appliance Platform.
