Metaswitch Networks Observes Greater Demand for Multicore Applications

Metaswitch Networks, a provider of technologies and solutions for next-generation architectures, is seeing a boom in multicore applications, as its communications equipment customers exploit the benefits of their N-BASE network architecture to efficiently build multicore systems, company officials announced.

Single product component on one core

“You can run a single product component on one core, or multiple components on multiple cores - all without changes to the core code. It all just falls out of the N-BASE architecture. And it does so in a very efficient manner. For example, you can run 8 cores with nearly linear speedup,” Berger said. Metaswitch has been successful in developing portable network protocol source code based on its N-BASE network architecture for over twenty years. The company is a service provider in MPLS, IP Routing VoIP / IMS and Session Border Controller solutions in the industry.
