(Taipei, Taiwan – April 15 , 2009) Lanner Electronics, a leading ODM manufacturer of advanced
released a pair of network appliance platforms in 1U and 2U form factors based on the
fully committed to the OCTEON Plus and OCTEON II families of multi-core processors.
Lanner’s collaboration with Cavium has enabled the development of an extensive range of
OCTEON-based appliance platforms, and Lanner recently launched two new rackmount
systems – the Lanner MR-955 and MR-956 – targeting network acceleration and security
The MR-955 is a 1U appliance platform with 14 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 10 of which are
SFP/copper combo ports, redundant power supplies, and configurable bypass ports with
support for the OCTEON CN58xx and CN38xx series processors. The MR-956 is a 2U
rackmount appliance that supports an additional 14-port network module for a maximum of 28
copper and fiber network ports. The MR-955 provides one 2.5” hard drive bay, while the MR-
956 provides two. A PCI-X expansion slot is available on the MR-956 only. Both the MR-955

and MR-956 include internal SATA II and CompactFlash storage, two USB ports and a DB9
RS-232 console port, and support up to 8GB of DDR2 memory. As with all Lanner network
appliance platforms, the two systems are fully customizable to meet any customer’s branding
requirements.
In addition, Lanner is currently developing a range of platforms built on the next generation
future-proof features such as DDR3 and PCI-E Gen 2 support mean that OCTEON II based
systems will last well into the future. Second, the high performance and scalability of Cavium’s
chips gives us remarkable flexibility in designing our hardware architecture, and allows us to
offer an extensive product line covering a wide range of performance and price points."
"OCTEON processors are being used by a number of leading hardware manufacturers like
Lanner who develop appliance platforms for a range of network applications. As network traffic
handle critical network tasks such as security, QoS, switching and routing, load balancing and
WAN acceleration," said Tasha Castañeda, Senior Strategic Alliance Manager, Cavium
Networks. "With the next generation OCTEON II processor family, companies like Lanner will
be able to build extremely scalable platforms to meet these application demands and satisfy
customer requirements for a seamless upgrade path and low power consumption."
The recently announced Cavium Networks OCTEON II Internet Application Processor (IAP)
family is designed for the next generation of Hypernetworks serving enterprise, data center,
