Paragon Collaborating With With AppliedMicro

Paragon
Software
Group
announced its collaboration with AppliedMicro
Corp., in energy conscious computing and communications solutions for
data center, telecom, enterprise and consumer applications, for the
development of solution for the AppliedMicro PACKET pro family of
single and multi-core processors for NAS applications.

Paragon’s NTFS,
exFAT and HFS+ for Linux drivers will target the new APM86xxx SoC
processor family. The solution speeds up communication between
AppliedMicro-based network appliances and attached storage.

NTFS,
exFAT and HFS+ for Android and Linux drivers enable read/write
access via USB 3.0 interface to Windows and Mac-formatted drives and
support the exFAT-formatted SDXC cards on AppliedMicro’s Riviera
advanced OEM storage platform for next-generation consumer and SMB
NAS, Wireless Access Point and Media Servers/Gateways. The Riviera
platform, based on the APM86491 processor, allows consumers to
simultaneously store, stream and share multimedia content in the
connected digital home.

"The
digital home is converging towards an all-in-one network appliance
that serves as a router, wireless access point and a networked
storage drive,"
said Majid Bemanian, senior director of marketing for AppliedMicro.
"By
leveraging Paragon’s cross-platform technology, AppliedMicro provides
customers an all-in-one media network solution, balancing performance
and feature set leadership. With this solution, we address customer’s
sensitivity for performance, simplicity, and flexibility by being OS-
and storage medium-agnostic."

With the Paragon
embedded cross-platform drivers, the Riviera platform provides
enterprise NAS read/write performance to Windows/Mac-formatted USB
3.0 drives with twice the throughput and performance of competing
devices, exceeding 200MB/s. This means that users can download and
share a 4GB file such as a HD video of a feature-length movie or clip
in less than ten seconds.

"We
are very excited to partner with AppliedMicro on their
next-generation processor family,"
said Tom Fedro, president of Paragon. "The
OEM community is designing and delivering new, innovative, Smart
Devices to the marketplace faster than ever before; they will
demonstrably benefit from the incredible performance and utility
provided by the AppliedMicro/Paragon collaboration."
