JumpGen Systems joins Network Intelligence Alliance to drive innovation and leadership for next-generation network solutions

Participation in industry organization will create opportunities to collaborate with other technology providers supporting the Network Economy and better serve customers with solutions based on Network Intelligence technology.

Carlsbad, CA Sept. 26, 2010 – JumpGen Systems, a provider of embedded computing and networking platforms, today announced that it has become a member of the Network Intelligence Alliance (NI Alliance), an industry organization created for collaboration among the Network Economy’s technology providers. Participation in the NI Alliance will help JumpGen Systems to build and market innovative solutions for customers seeking to improve their networking platforms.

In today’s Network Economy—a world that now depends and runs on networks—accurate visibility and precise tracking of data crossing networks have become crucial to the availability, performance and security of applications and services. The growing complexity of IP transactions, the explosion of mobile applications, and the mainstream adoption of cloud computing surpass the capabilities of conventional tools to improve how networks operate, expand services and police illicit or criminal activity. Just like Business Intelligence solutions emerged to unlock information hidden in the enterprise, Network Intelligence technology is an emerging category of technology to reveal the critical details of the data locked inside network traffic and transactions.

The NI Alliance serves two purposes: first, as a forum for collaboration among technology providers whose solutions secure data in transit, ensure efficient data delivery, monetize data transactions or track real-time information. Through the NI Alliance, members can better serve their customers.

The NI Alliance also seeks to educate the market and the public on the role and value of Network Intelligence in protecting sensitive information; delivering value-added services, applications and information; and ensuring better performance of network-dependent solutions.

JumpGen Systems includes Network Intelligence within its 1U packet processing and switching servers and within its PCIe and ATCA packet boards, optimized for applications like network security, deep packet inspection, wireless and wireline access points, switches and routers, radio network controllers, media gateways and video processors.

"The NI Alliance represents a powerful ecosystem of validated interoperable software and hardware networking components" said Harry White, president of JumpGen Systems. "The NI Alliance and its members thus bring tremendous value to our customers in terms of breadth of product portfolio and ease of integration."

JumpGen Systems offers PCIe, AMC and ATCA computing and switching boards, as well as 1U servers incorporating various combinations of packet processing, general processing and low latency high bandwidth switching. The off-the-shelf products can serve as a basis for creating, in a short timeframe of a few months, modified or fully custom platforms tailored precisely to customer requirements in such diverse application areas as algorithmic trading or deep packet inspection.

"JumpGen Systems is a valuable addition to the NI Alliance and we welcome their participation," said Erik Larsson, Chairman of the NI Alliance. "The NI Alliance is about collaborative innovation with companies like JumpGen Systems who plays a leadership role in (market/area of expertise). Working with other NI Alliance members, JumpGen Systems customers will be able to more effectively leverage Network Intelligence to better manage, protect and profit from their data networks."

Establishment of the NI Alliance was initiated by Qosmos, whose Network Intelligence technology components provide the crucial first step in understanding what’s passing through networks. Qosmos’ hardware and software components extract and interpret real-time traffic—translating a data stream’s 1s and 0s into their respective communications protocols, metadata and content for use by third-party applications.

Through the NI Alliance, Qosmos expands its collaborative approach to help vendors design and deliver advanced solutions with embedded Network Intelligence technology in less time and at lower cost. The NI Alliance provides a channel for dialogue and partnerships that Alliance Members otherwise may not have considered or pursued when addressing the needs of joint customers. Visibility within the vendor community through the NI Alliance affords companies opportunities to market more comprehensive solutions with greater ROI and faster time to value for customers.
