Clavister and Artesyn Collaborate to Deliver Advanced Security Solutions for Embedded Systems
July 2015 by Marc Jacob
Clavister has announced a reseller agreement with Artesyn Embedded Technologies, a global leader in embedded computing solutions for the communications, telecom, broadcast, military, aerospace and industrial automation sectors. Artesyn will offer Clavister’s industry-leading products and solutions to its key markets and customers. Clavister’s virtualized security software will be integrated onto Artesyn’s computing hardware, realising secure platforms of unprecedented performance and capacity. The relationship will also see the two companies collaborating to conduct joint research into securing next-generation IT and communications infrastructures.
The collaboration follows a longer period of joint development of solutions for the telecoms industry, specifically securing LTE/4G mobile networks. Using Artesyn’s hardware acceleration and load balancing technologies and Clavister’s next-generation, highly scalable multi-core data-plane technology, the partners have achieved a throughput of 1 Tbps of firewalling and 400Gbps of IPsec VPN throughput on a bladed server platform. Clavister and Artesyn anticipate strong, mutual growth from the collaboration.
According to analyst IDC, the market for intelligent embedded systems (processors, connectivity, and operating systems in devices other than PCs, phones, servers, and tablets) will grow from 1.4 billion units and $755 billion in revenue in 2014 to over 2.2 billion units and over $1 trillion in revenue by 2019*. The forecast covers segments such as energy, the industrial sector, healthcare, smart buildings and transportation, and there is strong demand for security to protects these embedded systems and devices and the data they process.
Artesyn has already established a substantial pipeline of prospects and business cases for security solutions co-developed with Clavister, and is aiming to gain significant market share within specific industries.
Both Clavister and Artesyn are members of Intel’s Network Builders programme, a cross-industry initiative that enables telcos to build and manage business-critical infrastructures with lower capital and operating costs.
