PARPRO Corporation, a leading design solutions and manufacturing services company, today introduced a product line of high performance deployment-ready network platforms. The Lodestar series is designed to allow the development and deployment of datacenter and network appliances which can be easily adapted to customer requirements. With feature options including integrated NPU, switch, control CPU, high core count and remote management, this product line is able to keep the costs for customer-specific adjustments low while at the same time enabling changes to be implemented quickly and with minimal design risk or additional development costs.

"Our experience with a wide spectrum of knowledge across many software and technology platforms, processor architectures, form factors, power envelopes, and market spaces, allow us to identify the best combination of solutions for each unique project." says Matthew Dharm, CTO, PARPRO Embedded Systems. "While PARPRO's expertise is the hardware platform, we aren't committed to just one technology, and draw from an array of tools and resources to identify the best technology need to improve your product."

The Lodestar series is made up of 4 products. With massive multi-cores, along with high capacity I/O in combination with cores, and a diverse selection of technology, we can offer any combination of processor plus switch in a compact well designed single integrated platform. Each of these products are deployment-ready platforms, providing the highest performance levels which can be quickly designed-to-spec, providing a sleek, affordable, high end solution.

PARPRO's expertise is in mixed technology and is educated in the nuances of the processor and ways to utilize them to their full potential. With PARPRO's engineering-driven approach, developers are no longer tied to COTS components that ultimately provide a product that has short comings - with this purpose built approach you only pay for the features you need. Customers requiring a unique architecture can now get the right combination of technology in the form factor required without compromising design, cost, schedule or feature set.
