Cavium, Inc., incorporated on June 22, 2006, is a provider of integrated semiconductor processors that enable intelligent processing for wired and wireless infrastructure and cloud for networking, communications, storage and security applications. The Company's products consist of multi-core processors for embedded and data center applications, network connectivity for server and switches, storage connectivity, and security processors for offload and appliance. A range of the Company's products also include a suite of embedded security protocols that enable unified threat management (UTM), secure connectivity, network perimeter protection and deep packet inspection (DPI). The Company sells its products to networking original equipment manufacturers (OEM), which sell into the enterprise, datacenter, service provider, and broadband and consumer markets.
In the enterprise market, the Company's products are used in routers, switches, storage appliances, server connectivity for networking and storage, wireless local area networks (WLAN) and UTM. In the datacenter market, the Company's products are used in servers for data and storage connectivity, as well as security offload and server load balancers. In the service provider market in wired infrastructure, its products are used in edge routers, cable modem termination system head-ends, and media gateways, and in wireless infrastructure in third generation (3G)/fourth generation (4G)/fifth generation (5G) base stations, radio network controllers, micro/macro cell and evolved packet core nodes, among others. In the broadband and consumer markets, its products are used in home gateways, wireless high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI), WLAN, small office/home office, and UTM.
The Company's OCTEON, OCTEON Plus, OCTEON II and OCTEON III multi-core MIPS64 processor families provide integrated Layer 4 through 7 data and security processing (with additional capabilities at Layers 2 and 3) at line speeds from 100 megabits per second (Mbps) to 100 gigabits per second (Gbps). OCTEON Fusion-M family of wireless baseband processors is a scalable product family supporting enterprise small cells, high capacity outdoor picocells all the way up to multi-sector macrocells for multiple wireless protocols. OCTEON TX is a 64-bit ARM-based processor family for control plane and data plane applications in networking, security and storage, which provides a range of integrated 64-bit ARM system-on-chip (SOC) products for various embedded processing applications. The NITROX processor family offers standalone security processors that provide the functionality required for Layer 3 to Layer 5 secure communication in a single chip. The Xpliant family of products provides high performance, high density switch silicon that targets a range of switching applications for the datacenter, cloud, service provider and enterprise markets. The ThunderX processor family includes integrated, multi-core SoC processors.
The LiquidIO Server Adapter family is a standard server compliant half-height Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI Express), form-factor, providing a high-performance, general-purpose programmable adapter platform that enables cloud service providers to offload any functionality in the datacenter. The LiquidSecurity product family is a hardware-based transaction security solution for cloud datacenters, enterprise, government organizations and e-commerce applications. The QLogic Fibre Channel product family includes both adapters for server connectivity, as well as application-specific integrated circuit (ASICs) and adapters for storage system connectivity. The QLogic Ethernet product family includes the FastLinQ 45000 Series of Ethernet Adapters and controllers.
