NetLogic Microsystems Announces Support for Netronome`s NFP-32xx

NetLogic Microsystems` 10G PHY and Knowledge-Based Processors to Support
Netronome`s New Family of Network Flow Processors
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:NETL), the leader in the design and
development of knowledge-based processors and high-speed integrated circuits,
today announced support for the NFP-32xx from Netronome Systems, a leading
developer of highly programmable semiconductor products that provide intelligent
and secure flow processing for virtualized servers and network equipment.
NetLogic Microsystems and Netronome will cooperate to develop reference designs
that include the new NFP-32xx along with industry-leading knowledge-based
processors, NETL7 Layer 7 knowledge-based processors and 10-Gigabit Ethernet PHY
products from NetLogic Microsystems. The collaboration will help customers
accelerate time-to-market and reduce development costs for advanced,
next-generation systems.

The NFP-32xx family of Network Flow Processors removes the performance barriers
in unified computing architectures by integrating high-performance networking,
security processing and I/O virtualization with general-purpose computing.
Additionally, the NFP-32xx is the only line of processors backward-compatible
with the market-leading Intel IXP28XX family of network processors, protecting
customers` immense investment in field-proven and network-hardened software.

NetLogic Microsystems` industry-leading knowledge-based processors accelerate
high-speed packet header inspection and application-aware processing functions
to deliver best-in-class performance on next-generation networking, access, data
center and security applications. NetLogic Microsystems` Layers 2-4
knowledge-based processors accelerate header inspection and IPv6 processing
functions to enable wire-speed quality-of-service (QoS), ACL security,
video/voice forwarding, billing and VPN while maximizing the energy efficiency
of the overall system. The NETL7 family of Layer 7 knowledge-based processors
from NetLogic Microsystems delivers unprecedented, deterministic performance
while inspecting every bit of every packet at wire-speed to enable
application-aware and cyber security functions. NetLogic Microsystems`s
industry-leading physical layer family of products provides high-performance,
single, dual, and quad-channel low-power interface technology for high-density
data communication and storage systems, and offers comprehensive support for
multiple 10-Gigabit Ethernet standards.

"We are excited to be an important part of the NFP-32xx launch and reference
design," said Chris O`Reilly, vice president of marketing at NetLogic
Microsystems. "By ensuring interoperability between the NFP-32xx and our PHYs
and knowledge-based processors, we will reduce our customers` time-to-market
while still enabling feature-rich platforms."

"We are delighted to be working with NetLogic Microsystems. Their
industry-leading 10G PHYs, L2 - L4 knowledge-based processors, and NETL7
knowledge-based processors are a critical addition to our reference designs and
an important element of our overall solution support for Netronome`s NFP to
allow technology interoperability between the two solutions," said Niel Viljoen,
founder and CEO of Netronome. "With this collaboration, Netronome and its
partners, like NetLogic Microsystems, can provide confidence to shared customers
so that they can build quality products with both devices working productively
together."
