The dramatic growth of Internet has fuelled the need to support many complex applications and services with ever increasing network traffic. Networking components such as Router are the major source of bottlenecks in the network. To address these challenges, Network Processors are emerging as a new class of silicon, which promises to provide both performance and flexibility. Network Processors achieve this through parallel processing and pipeline processing architectures.

Wipro Technologies offers consultancy, design and engineering solutions and services for developing products based on Network processors. The company has Center of Excellence (CoE) focused on NP activities. The promises offered by Network processors could be realized only by developing applications, which exploits all the features of Network processors. A good understanding of the programming model of network processor is must for developing such applications efficiently. We understand the tremendous pressure on networking equipment vendors to introduce products into the market in a short span of time and also to provide best performance. To facilitate its customers Wipro offers its expertise in Network processors along with expertise in various domains to develop products and solutions based on network processor.  

Wipro's offerings based on Network Processors are:

Network processor consultancy - Evaluation and choosing the right network processor for the target product.

Prototype development - Development of products and solutions around network processors.

Post-Design Win Services - We could be one-stop-shop with the required architecture, hardware and software design skills, along with NPU specific skills.

Intellectual Property for NPUs - We are developing several data plane components for certain target NPUs that can be licensed to end customers. We also provide a services bundle along with the Intellectual Property by way of integrating it in to the customer's platform.

Soft Cores - We have a set of hardware IP, implemented as Soft Cores that are useful in board designs around NPUs. These again could be licensed to end customers.

Wipro has vast experience in communication and networking domains. We have most of the protocol stacks implemented as our intellectual property blocks and are ready to use.
