6WIND, a
high-performance networking software company, today announced a
replacement program for customers seeking an alternative to Brocade's
vRouter, which is now end-of-sale and approaching end-of-support.
Effective immediately, 6WIND Turbo Router software is available to
support Brocade vRouter customers.
6WIND Turbo Router is a high performance, ready-to-use
software network appliance, to be deployed in bare metal environments
or as a virtual machine running on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)
servers. It includes routing and firewall features with an additional
6WIND Turbo IPsec option to create IPsec VPNs. Based on DPDK (Data
Plane Development Kit) for performance, 6WIND Turbo Router separates its
full featured data plane and control plane for customer use case
flexibility. Management options include CLI, XML or Linux-based tools.
The 6WIND Turbo Router Replacement Program Advantage:
- Performance: 12 Mpps per core, standard 1/10/40/100GE NIC
support and scaling up to 1 million routes. All Layer 2, IP forwarding,
virtual routing, Layer 3 and security processing features run in a fast
path architecture outside of the Linux kernel to avoid bottlenecks.
- Price and Support: Significant incentives for direct
Brocade replacements, including options for subscription and perpetual
licenses. Licenses are priced per performance from 2G to 100G.
"We understand Brocade vRouter customers need
an alternative and are pleased to offer replacement options that meet
requirements while helping with additional incentives," said Eric
Carmès, CEO and Founder of 6WIND. "Our Turbo Router software appliances
have always delivered a price/performance advantage and our exclusive
vRouter replacement program gives an added bonus of extended support to
help customers with their transition."
