Microsemi's SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs Successfully Adopted by Extreme Engineering Solutions, Enabling Company to Provide Advanced Security Features
Requested by Customers, Unique New Device Leverages Microsemi Technology as Root of Trust in Rugged Single Board Computers
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., March 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor and system solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, today announced its customer, Extreme Engineering Solutions, Inc. (X-ES), is offering a selection of rugged, Intel(®) processor-based VPX single board computers (SBCs) leveraging Microsemi's SmartFusion((TM))2 system-on-chip (SoC) field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) as root of trust. X-ES is experiencing great success in serving the needs of its customer base as a result of SmartFusion2's unique capabilities.
As implemented on these SBCs, the power-on control and boot path is entirely controlled and monitored by Microsemi's SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA to provide authentication and detection against many types of attacks. SmartFusion2's integrated Physically Unclonable Function (PUF), protection against Differential Power Analysis (DPA) attacks, flash-based FPGA fabric and advanced cryptographic processing elements make it an ideal platform for implementing security throughout the supply chain in military, aviation, communications and industrial environments.
"SmartFusion2 was selected because of its low power, low cost and advanced security features that rival the more expensive, higher power competitors. More importantly, our customers requested it," said Andrew Eley, senior embedded engineer at X-ES. "Future products from X-ES will continue to fill market demand with the latest SoC FPGAs from Microsemi's SmartFusion2 product line."
Intent to Continue Usage
X-ES has used Microsemi's Fusion, SmartFusion and now SmartFusion2 in many of its standard product and custom designs, bringing its team extensive knowledge of this product family's distinct technology features. Integration of SmartFusion2 into X-ES products has become an efficient and effective way to support X-ES SecureCOTS(TM) technology. Its low power and advanced security features make it an optimal choice where reduced size, weight and power (SWaP) is required at a low cost. It is also an ideal entry point for implementing anti-tamper (AT) and information assurance (IA) technology across many industries. X-ES' collaboration with Microsemi demonstrates a commitment to developing and improving this technology.
Increased Adoption for SecureCOTS Technology
X-ES SecureCOTS technology is a design methodology from X-ES that provides enhanced levels of security for X-ES' products. The 3U VPX-REDI XPedite7572 with a fifth generation Intel Core(TM) i7 (formerly Broadwell-H) processor, and the 3U VPX-REDI XPedite7672 with an Intel Xeon® D (formerly Broadwell-DE) processor are the latest 3U VPX cards to incorporate Microsemi's SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA at the center of this technology.
SmartFusion2's FPGA fabric and integrated ARM® Cortex(TM)-M3 processor allow great flexibility for implementing custom intellectual property (IP), monitoring or manipulating data paths, monitoring system health and detecting tamper events, and providing tools to extend run-time trust into the OS, application or system. SmartFusion2's subsystem design on the XPedite7572 and XPedite7672 includes 1 GB of ECC DDR3 and up to 64 MB of SPI NOR flash in addition to a high-speed x4 PCI Express Gen2 interface to the Intel CPU, which makes SmartFusion2 ideal as an encryption/decryption coprocessor. Advanced IP can be developed to implement system penalties appropriate to the program needs.
These features, in addition to advanced PCB fabrication techniques and heatframe design, encompass X-ES SecureCOTS technology to provide a sophisticated set of features for securing a critical application or securing an entire system and the information within it, while also providing best-in-class processing performance with Intel processors. Flexible backplane input/output (I/O), such as high-bandwidth PCI-Express Gen3, 10GBASE-KR, 1000BASE-BX, SmartFusion2 GPIO, SATA and USB allow these cards to fit perfectly wherever high security and reliability are needed.
"Adoption of Microsemi's SmartFusion2 devices by X-ES for its SecureCOTS technology clearly demonstrates SmartFusion2 offers the highest level of security and can be trusted to provide root of trust for secure system," said Tim Morin, director of marketing for Microsemi. "SmartFusion2 combined with Secure Boot reference designs can offer a root of trust for both processors and FPGAs in a secure system."

BASEL, Switzerland, March 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The one unmissable trendsetting show that unites key players from all sectors of the global watch and jewellery industry and sets the tone for the coming year, Baselworld 2016 commenced this morning with its inaugural press conference. The most important international press representatives from print, TV and digital media were eagerly awaiting the Baselworld press conference that marks the start of a new edition of the most unique annual event of the watch and jewellery industry.
Ms Sylvie Ritter, Managing Director of Baselworld, greeted the attendees as well as the some 3,000 journalists following the press conference on the livestream, and welcomed them to the "most eagerly awaited crucial show in the calendar of the watch and jewellery industry." Remarking on the reasons why Baselworld is universally recognised as the global event for watches and jewellery, Ms Ritter highlighted a number of points that made this show unique. "Unique because Baselworld is the nerve centre for the watch and jewellery industry where the pulse of the business is taken; unique because the most prestigious brands, most influential retailers and most prominent journalists gather under one roof; and unique because year after year this is the birthplace of trends that will prevail for the following 12 months." Touching on the reality of today's gloomy economic and political situation, and the consequences for the industry and Baselworld, Ms Ritter acknowledged that Baselworld had felt the uncertainty of some exhibitors among the smaller businesses, those that might not be in a position to prevail in times of low demand in the mid-term. Despite these uncertainties she proudly announced that almost all of those who had exhibited here last year, are also present at this new edition. "They have faith in Baselworld and know that we will continue to move forward, continue to invest in the future, further increase the quality and attractiveness of this event to strengthen the leadership role Baselworld plays." She underlined Baselworld's response in times of uncertainty: "Not deny reality, but remain optimistic and build the future resolutely moving forward!"
Ms Ritter reaffirmed her faith and confidence in the industry saying she has "no doubt that the new creations will once again be all the news and demonstrate the amazing dynamics of these sectors, which enabled them to reach levels that nobody dared hope to achieve just 10 years ago." Speaking for herself, Ms Ritter said she was as eager as everyone else present to discover the latest creations showcased at Baselworld over the coming days."
Ms Ritter ended her speech with a vote of thanks to the exhibitors for continuing to deliver a plethora of innovations that make Baselworld unique.
Newly appointed President of the Baselworld Exhibitors' Committee, Mr Eric Bertrand, welcomed all present to the latest edition of the show. A member of the committee for 15 years, Mr Bertrand seized the opportunity to introduce himself and his extensive experience in all sectors of the watch and jewellery industry. "I have spent the whole of my career in this industry and have never ceased to be surprised not only by its continuous creativity and innovation, but equally by its ability to react to difficult situations," he said.
Despite facing challenge after challenge, the industry has "always bounced back farther and higher." And Mr Bertrand believes this ability is not achieved by chance, but much rather that, "these successes and achievements are the result of passionate people active in the areas of watchmaking, jewellery and precious stones, who give the best of themselves, their dynamics and their desires to allow people to continue to dream." He defined his role as President of the Exhibitors' Committee precisely stating, "I am the representative of all exhibitors, and I devote myself to this role with all the conviction that is mine." Turning his attention to the show, Mr Bertrand said that during the course of his long career he had observed the "phenomenal evolution of Baselworld," from a European fair to the leading and most unique event in the world; a show that has unwaveringly focused on quality over quantity. "Baselworld is universally recognised as the show of emerging and future trends," he said, adding that "we have always welcomed large and small watch and jewellery brands, as long as they are representative and innovative." He underlined the fact that Baselworld continues to welcome new exhibitors, "because the essence of Baselworld is to reflect the overall global market for watches and jewellery, and to reflect on what's best."
Mr Bertrand concluded his speech by encouraging participants to take full advantage of everything that Baselworld has to offer, saying: "I would like to remind you that, in addition to being a flagship event for an entire economic sector, Baselworld is also a celebration, a unique rendezvous for the global industry."

Huawei Launched Connected City Lighting Solution, Saving Municipal Lighting Energy by 80%
HANNOVER, Germany, March 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at CeBIT 2016, Huawei debuted its Connected City Lighting Solution, the industry's first Internet of Things (IoT) lighting solution with multi-level intelligent control. Huawei Connected City Lighting Solution connects street lamps to the IoT and adopts a GIS-based management system, enabling cities to enhance the control and performance of every street lamp. The solution provides municipal managers with status information on each lamp, in every street and enables precise control of on-off switches and brightness of individual street lamps, allowing on-demand lighting and a reduction in energy consumption by up to 80%.
According to The Climate Group, there are approximately 304 million street lamps around the world, and the number is expected to reach 352 million by 2025. Street lamps are almost ubiquitous in cities. While these lamps bring convenience to people's lives, they also consume a vast amount of energy and increase management costs for municipalities. For example, London has approximately 35,000 street lamps, resulting in an estimated total power consumption of 56,000,000kWh per annual, together with inspection costs and maintenance fees, the street lamps significantly impact municipal expenses. Huawei Connected City Lighting Solution is designed to address these issues.
Integrated Smart Lighting Policies to Ensure High Energy Efficiency
With Huawei's Connected City Lighting Solution, each street lamp is equipped with a power and brightness controller. Unlike industry-standard access methods such as through Wi-Fi, Huawei adopts 6LoWPAN technology, which has lower power consumption, and can automatically diagnose, network, and trouble-shoot problems, as well as enable better interaction between street lamps and other smart devices such as sensors. To enhance the control and performance of street lamps, the solution integrates a series of preset smart lighting policies to:
-- Automatically calculate lighting duration based on local longitude and
latitude, and dynamically adjust lighting duration according to the
specific season, month, and day.
-- Smartly adjust brightness by connecting built-in brightness sensors with
third-party traffic and people flow sensors, or based on weather and
other environment conditions.
Huawei Connected City Lighting Solution pares LED lamps with smart lighting polices. When compared with conventional street lamps, such as high pressure sodium lamps, they help reduce energy consumption by up to 80%.
Visible Management and Online Inspection to Prevent Failures
Huawei's solution adopts a GIS-based management system, which displays comprehensive information about the street lamps, including the number of lamps in each street, their current status, as well as their installation position and time. Using this solution, one person can manage thousands of lamps in different streets.
Multi-level Smart Control for Enhanced Protection and Reliability
Traditional street lamps are controlled collectively at a central point, and cannot be controlled individually. Huawei Connected City Lighting Solution addresses this challenge by providing multi-level smart controls, which comprise network smart controls on the first level and local smart controls on a secondary level. The agile IoT gateways and street lamp controllers are equipped with lightweight components to execute lighting policies and deliver a two-level localized decision-making mechanism.
All-layer Openness to Build a Smart City
Huawei Connected City Lighting Solution adopts an all-layer open architecture:
-- Its base-layer processor development can be based on lightweight
open-source LiteOS, facilitating standardization and efficient
connections among third-party devices.
-- The agile gateways support a virtualized architecture, enabling the
development and installation of customized applications by partner
companies.
-- The agile controllers also provide third-party application systems with
a standard northbound interface, helping to better integrate various
service components, allowing comprehensive interaction with the smart
transportation, environment monitoring, and municipal management
systems.
Commenting on the role of Huawei Connected City Lighting Solution to drive Smart City development, Wu Chou, CTO of Huawei Switch and Enterprise Communications Product Line, said, "Since the launch of Huawei Agile IoT Solution in May 2015, we have delivered several successful applications, including the power IoT solution, smart building solution, and smart stockbreeding solution. Huawei Connected City Lighting Solution is another powerful application of Huawei Agile IoT Solution, and an important advancement towards a truly Smart City. Lighting IoT lays a solid foundation for the integration of a variety of sensors, to facilitate functions such as environmental and transportation monitoring, and installation of smart charging facilities and intelligent rubbish bins, providing Smart City development with valuable big data and integrated interaction to improve citizens' lives."

Nokia ushers in 100G transport services era with new programmable silicon chipset and next-generation optical networking systems
ESPOO, Finland, March 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
-- Expanded Nokia1830 PSS portfolio quadruples optical fiber capacity to
greater than 70 terabits per second, helping customers meet surging data
demand
-- Photonic Service Engine version 2 chipset offers unprecedented capacity,
reach, flexibility, and density, including industry's first single
carrier 400G, first long haul 200G and first ultra-long haul 100G
-- The new 1830 PSS-24x is the world's most scalable packet-OTN switch,
providing up to 48 terabits of capacity per rack
-- 500G DWDM line card provides investment protection for 1830 PSS
customers with an instant upgrade to 500G of flexible bandwidth for
delivery of 100G services
Nokia today introduced a significant expansion of its 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) portfolio, quadrupling optical fiber capacity to more than 70 terabits per second to address surging network data traffic demand. Centered around the Photonic Service Engine version 2 (PSE-2) from Nokia Bell Labs, the enhanced 1830 PSS family doubles wavelength capacities and wavelengths per fiber, giving operators a platform to efficiently deliver the 100G transport services that customers are demanding.
Service providers are under tremendous pressure to scale their networks to meet the demands of large enterprises, cloud operators and Internet content providers for high-capacity, on-demand services - all while maintaining profitability by lowering cost per bit. According to a white paper published by industry analyst firm Ovum, the rapid adoption of 100G router ports for the interconnection of data centers and metro and backbone applications is driving the need for operators to migrate from 10G client services to 100G to keep pace with escalating transport requirements.
Yet capacity alone is no longer sufficient to respond to ever-changing bandwidth demands. Optical transport is evolving from relatively static applications to highly dynamic services that can be turned up quickly and reconfigured on the fly. Nokia is helping operators address these challenges with an expanded 1830 PSS portfolio featuring unprecedented flexibility through the new PSE-2 chipset and industry-leading scale with the 1830 PSS-24x. These innovations and platforms provide operators with a cost-effective way of delivering business-driven 100G transport services.
Click to Tweet: Nokia boosts #optical fiber capacity 4X to 70+ Tb/s with the industry's most programmable, highest capacity silicon http://nokia.ly/1Rk5rkB
Highest performance, most programmable optical chipset
The PSE-2 is the world's most sophisticated and highly integrated electro-optic chipset. It gives network operators the power to nimbly balance wavelength capacity and reach, maximizing the efficiency of every fiber in their network. The Nokia-designed PSE-2 is available in two versions:
-- The PSE-2 Super Coherent (PSE-2s) provides the ultimate in performance
and flexibility for applications with very high traffic demands and
potentially challenging distance requirements. It can be programmed with
seven unique modulation formats to support optimized 100G to 500G
transport wavelength capacities, and distances for applications ranging
from metro to ultra-long haul -- including the industry's first 400G
single carrier, the first 200G long haul and the first 100G ultra-long
haul. The PSE-2s lowers cost per bit per kilometer by maximizing
capacity for every distance, while using 50 percent less power.
-- The PSE-2 Compact (PSE-2c) is optimized for 100G DWDM applications where
density, space and low power are paramount, including metro access and
aggregation networks. The PSE-2c design creates more compact line cards
that support "pay as you grow" pluggable optics, while consuming 66
percent less power.
Most scalable packet-OTN switch delivers efficient wavelengths and differentiated services
Employing the new Nokia-designed Transport Switching Engine (TSE) chipset, the 1830 PSS-24x is the industry's most scalable packet/OTN multilayer switching platform. By combining a TSE-powered switch fabric with PSE-2 coherent interfaces, the 1830 PSS-24x offers 9.6 terabits of switching per half-rack shelf, scalable to 48 terabits per rack. This gives operators a new level of 100G service density, efficiency, and resiliency while using 50% less space and power than current generation packet/OTN switches.
Flexible DWDM line card with up to 500G capacity
Powered by the PSE-2s and its variable modulation capabilities, the 1830 PSS 500G DWDM Muxponder gives network operators unprecedented capacity, reach, and wavelength flexibility. It also offers operators investment protection for their 1830 PSS platforms with an instant capacity upgrade, carrying as many as five 100G services per line card. The 500G line card is available and being delivered to customers now.
Complete DWDM transport solution with doubled capacity
Nokia has expanded its industry-leading Wavelength Routing solution to support the L wavelength band, creating the industry's most scalable optical layer by doubling the number of wavelengths per fiber. By integrating PSE-2 powered interfaces and Colorless, Directionless, Contentionless, with Flexgrid (CDC-F) technology, the 1830 PSS Ultra-Wideband Wavelength Routing solution becomes the industry's first C+L band CDC-F system, giving operators unprecedented programmability in the photonic layer.
Daniel Melzer, CTO of DE-CIX, said: "By operating the world's leading Internet exchange with peak traffic of more than 5 Terabits per second, DE-CIX is seeing an increased need to dynamically interconnect 100G router ports to handle our changing bandwidth needs. We are excited to see Nokia introducing the optical innovations of the 1830 PSS 500G Muxponder, which can be reprogrammed quickly to multiple transport wavelength capacity and distance configurations. This unprecedented flexibility on a single optical line card will deliver a highly cost-effective solution that can support both raw capacity at 500G and maximum long haul distance at 200G."
Ron Kline, Principal Analyst, Intelligent Networks at Ovum, said: "According to our research, service provider adoption of 100 Gigabit Ethernet is expected to drive growth of Core IP/MPLS routers to roughly $3.6 billion by 2020. This, in turn, will fundamentally transform operators' networks as they look for solutions to handle this massive capacity increase in increments of 100G. Nokia has addressed this trend with its next-generation PSE-2 powered portfolio. The PSE-2 innovations deliver both scale and flexibility across every layer of the optical transport network."
Sterling Perrin, Senior Analyst at Heavy Reading, said: "Nokia has come out with a powerful combination of innovations aimed at increasing capacity while also adding flexibility and improving efficiency in optical transport networks. More significantly, these are not just technologies, but commercial products that are being rolled out right now. While each of the PSE-2 advancements is important on its own, it is really the flexible combination of features - covering 100G to 200G to 400G and from metro to long haul and ultra long haul applications - that makes the PSE-2 announcement so compelling."
Sam Bucci, head of optical networking at Nokia, said: "When we introduced the industry's first single carrier 100G solution in 2010 we became a leader in optical network transformations, a position that was further solidified when we released the first programmable 100G/200G line card. With the launch of the PSE-2, our 500G Muxponder and the 1830 PSS-24x, we are again at the forefront of innovations, leading the way to 100G client services being the currency of modern optical networks. Thanks to the optical innovations of Nokia Bell Labs we are able to keep operators ahead of today's aggressive bandwidth demand curve."

The market has been primed for a new generation of scale-out NAS technologies that support data-intensive, high performance big data workflows. Traditional NAS and scale-out NAS solutions were not architected to manage the wide variety of file types nor the diverse storage tiers of today's workflows. The relative low performance and limited integration of the storage tiers of these traditional solutions results in equipment sprawl that reduces productivity and increases cost, complexity and risk. Network protocols limit bandwidth into and out of the system - creating workflow bottlenecks - and a lack of integrated data migration tools make archiving, cloud-based collaboration and disaster recovery difficult and highly-manual processes.
Leveraging the latest data storage technological innovations such as the fastest SSDs, the latest interconnects, and embedded PCI-e low latency fabric, the DDN GS14K delivers breakthrough performance and capacity. The GS14K solves the critical performance, cost and management problems of traditional NAS in data intensive environments, providing the capacity growth and speed required by modern big data environments. Benefits of DDN's GS14K include:
-- Highest reliability and mixed IO performance with all SSD configurations
and hybrid storage offerings.
-- Open source software integration delivering the reliability, performance
and ease of support of an Enterprise-grade NAS provider with seamless
integration to OpenStack and Hadoop environments.
-- Decouples performance and capacity for complete cost control, better
support and lower TCO through its ability to scale up or out. It ingests
data at scale, reliably, with room to grow data inputs to the workflow.
-- Eliminates datacenter sprawl with the industry's highest capacity per
rack. By consolidating multiple data types for ease of access, the GS14K
eliminates storage and data silos while reducing management cost,
complexity and data risk.
-- Makes large data sets simultaneously available to multiple systems and
users with support for Traditional NAS Protocols (CIFS, NFS) plus high
performance NAS Client and optional Burst Buffer.
-- Simplifies management by presenting a single, unified data view to
users, administrators and applications across over any tier of storage
including high performance, active archive, tape and cloud.
-- Open Architecture means faster availability of new technology - EDR
InfiniBand, Omni-Connect, NVMe SSDs - and simpler integration with new
software tools such as OpenStack SWIFT and Hadoop.
"To be competitive in today's world of massive data, organizations need to be able to access data from a variety of sources and leverage their data using the highest storage and retrieval performance, efficiency and scalability," said George Crump, Chief Steward for Storage Switzerland, LLC. "DDN's GS14K is a solid example of how organizations can keep many of the appliance qualities that led them to choose scale-out NAS in the past, but with the ability to serve today's commercial Big Data requirements."
Designed for demanding commercial workflows that require more performance, scale and end-to-end data lifecycle management than traditional NAS and scale-out NAS can provide, the GS14K is ideal for financial services (back testing, risk management and anomaly detection), life sciences (sequencing, clinical research, pharma and agricultural organizations), web and cloud, cable and telecommunications providers, and manufacturing (aero and automotive design).
Availability
The GS14K scale-out NAS storage solution is generally available today and offers a range of configurations including All Flash, hybrid or standard high-capacity hard drives models. The GS7K®, GS12K®, and custom configurations that preceded the GS14K offer flexible solutions with different performance and capacity characteristics. The GRIDScaler family of solutions provides a rich selection that can be tailored optimally to meet any workflow need.

EOS, global technology and quality leader for high-end Additive Manufacturing (AM)
solutions, recently introduced the EOS M 100 - a new system for Direct Metal Laser
Sintering (DMLS)(R). In terms of process and parts quality, the system corresponds to the
market-leading EOS M 290 metal system.
Dr. Adrian Keppler, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at EOS: "The EOS M 100 system
impresses with the proven DMLS quality, and is also the ideal choice for those considering
an entry into additive manufacturing. With its small build volume, which is based on a
round build platform with a diameter of 100 mm, the system focuses on the cost-efficient
production of small quantities. For example, the system can produce approximately 70
dental crowns and bridges in three hours. Initially, the EOS M 100 system can process two
types of materials, specifically EOS CobaltChrome SP2 (CE-certified, CE 0537) and EOS
StainlessSteel 316L, depending on the specific industry application."
Technical changes lead to high level of cost efficiency Â
The system features a 200 Watt fibre laser, which due to its beam quality and
performance stability ensures optimum and consistent processing conditions, resulting in
reproducible parts qualities. This feature, plus a smaller laser spot with excellent
detail resolution, makes it possible to produce high-quality, highly-complex and delicate
components. The systems build space and an efficient recoating and exposure strategy
reduce non-productive time periods, which also contributes to the efficient production of
smaller quantities.
