Vitesse Delivers New Paradigm for Secure Cloud Applications

CAMARILLO, CA — (Marketwired) — 05/22/13 — Continuing its drive to strategically advance Carrier and Enterprise Ethernet technology, (NASDAQ: VTSS) introduced the latest generation of its () and portfolio which delivers a new paradigm to cost-effectively secure cloud applications. The industry-s first to enable network-wide Layer 2 and preserve nanosecond-level network timing accuracy, the new physical layer transceivers are ideal for securing cloud network applications including e-commerce, database, collaboration, video, and enterprise or government communications.

Enabling this are technologies exclusively available from Vitesse including:

: the industry-s highest accuracy IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol implementation for nanosecond-accurate network timing and synchronization; and

: the industry-s first PHY technology to enable IEEE 802.1AE MACsec encryption end-to-end over any network, for cost-effective network-wide link layer encryption.

“Vitesse-s approach enables a paradigm shift in mobile, cloud, and other critical infrastructure networks,” said Richard Interrante, product marketing director at Vitesse. “VeriTime delivers the industry-s de facto highest accuracy IEEE 1588v2 network timing and now, we-ve again moved beyond our competitors with this latest generation incorporating Intellisec. Delivering low latency security while preserving network synchronization simply isn-t possible with traditional link-based MACsec technology. Network-wide Layer 2 security is now a realistic and affordable option for carriers and other cloud providers.”

Intellisec dramatically extends MACsec to support secure access to multiple cloud services. Until now, MACsec PHYs have traditionally been limited to link-based box-to-box applications primarily within cloud service data centers;

: Synchronization is critical for mobile, smart grid, financial, and industrial networks. Vitesse-s Intellisec-enabled devices surpass the reach of competitive MACsec PHYs by working seamlessly with Vitesse-s VeriTime technology to deliver security with nanosecond-level IEEE 1588v2 accuracy;

: Intellisec enables a realistic and affordable Layer 2 MACsec security solution with a simple PHY upgrade, without any changes required to network equipment ASICs, switches or processors;

: Intellisec offers 256-bit encryption support, versus the 128-bit encryption typically used in today-s alternatives.
