PARIS — French embedded networking software provider 6Wind and RMI Corporation have extended their partnership to port 6Wind's embedded networking design to RMI's multicore processors.

6Wind (Montigny-le-Bretonneux, France) said its 6WindGate solution will be optimized for use on RMI's XLR and XLS multicore, multithreaded processors.

6WindGate, claimed the French company, provides ready-to-use layer 2-4 networking and protocols feature sets so that engineers can start working on application development and integration faster.

Moreover, an XML-based manageability interface is said to facilitate integration of networking and value-added features and applications and to maximize customer software development reuse. This makes integration of applications on RMI processors a more seamless process that also allows designers to maximize networking and application performances, 6Wind said.
