Inkra Licenses NextHop's GateD NGC
2.x Routing Software
NextHop Technologies Inc announced that Inkra Networks has licensed
NextHop's
GateD NGC 2.x routing software to serve as the primary routing engine for its
Virtual Service Switch family of multi-function security switches.
Aimed at large enterprise and data center networks, Inkra's Virtual Service
Switches help customers simplify security infrastructure management and
minimize operations costs. Adding routing functionality via the GateD NGC 2.x
software helps Inkra's customers save space, power and management
overhead.
"As a leader in developing dynamic layered security systems, Inkra looks to
add value for our customers with state-of-the-art, proven technology. By
adding the GateD NGC 2.x routing engine, we have a solid solution that can
scale across all our products, offering customers industry-leading,
interoperable routing," said Anil Gupta, vice president of engineering for
Inkra Networks.
Web services, utility computing, .NET, CPU harvesting and distributed
computing are just a few of the technologies that fall under the Grid
computing umbrella. Gt04 -- a premiere enterprise Grid computing conference
targeting industrial and commercial users -- will gather experts, and outline
strategies and road maps for Grid deployment. For more information, visit

"Our customers require secure, highly stable and flexible, high performance
network routing. We are excited to be providing a solution for Inkra. The
GateD NGC 2.x routing software is now up and running on the VROS custom
operating systems, helping to speed the time to get the product into customer
hands," said Dennis Tsu, vice president of marketing and sales for NextHop
Technologies.
About GateD Routing And MPLS Software
Over the last 17 years, more than 150 network equipment manufacturers
including leading networking companies such as Avici Systems, Check Point
Software Technologies, Enterasys Networks, Hitachi, Huawei Technologies,
Juniper Networks, Nortel Networks, Riverstone Networks and Thomson have used
GateD to provide IP routing functionality in their products. They have chosen
GateD because it is the most memory efficient, fastest, scalable, inter-
operable, and reliable set of routing and MPLS (multi-protocol label
switching) software available on the market.
For NextHop's customers, these features translate into shorter time-to-
market, a lower total cost-of-development (acquisition, integration, testing,
deployment and support), and increased revenue.
The GateD suite of routing and MPLS software, includes the industry's most
complete set of IPv4 and IPv6 unicast and multicast routing software, MPLS
software supporting both RSVP and LDP capabilities, plus RFC 2547/VPN and
Martini support.
In addition, GateD offers a powerful virtual routing environment (VRE) that
supports thousands of virtual routers in a single system; support for a number
of HA (high availability) solutions, such as VRRP (virtual routing redundancy
protocol) and other fail-over mechanisms; a robust Advanced Management
Interface (AMI) that complements the VRE and allows for hundreds of
configuration changes per second linked to the appropriate Virtual Router, and
a complete command line interface (CLI) for configuration and management that
talks to the AMI.
