Paragon Software Group, a provider of data security and data management offerings, and Cavium Networks, a provider of semiconductor products, said that Paragon’s Universal File System Driver (UFSD) technology now supports Cavium’s ECONA dual-core ARM-based processor family.
The companies said that the combined offering will be used by consumer and SMB/SOHO equipment manufactures that serve the NAS, multimedia systems, storage appliances and networking markets.
According to Cavium, its ECONA CNS3XXX family of integrated ARM-based SoC processors offer a set of integrated hardware accelerators for voice, video and data connectivity at low-power operation. They are used in applications such as FTTH broadband gateways, network attached storage appliances, multimedia picture frames, media and print servers, IP cameras and wireless access points.
The ECONA family of products feature both NTFS for Linux and HFS+ for Linux, two of Paragon’s kernel-based drivers based on its UFSD technology, which will allow all PCs and servers connected to Cavium-based network products to have full access to Windows and Mac formatted external HDDs regardless of their operating system, the companies said.
Tom Fedro, president of Paragon said: “Cavium Networks is setting the bar for high-performance networking, communications, storage, video, and security processors, and we are very pleased to be a part of their solution ecosystem.
“We are committed to advancing the availability of cross-platform file compatibility, and Cavium provides an ideal means to expand the reach of our technology.”
