The new age of converged networking demands more powerful equipment. Equipment that rapidly integrates Quality of Service (QoS) features for varied network traffic at blinding speeds. Flexible equipment that scales to many ports, adapts to emerging standards and permits policy changes on the fly, as network conditions change. To produce this new equipment, manufacturers of networking hardware and Integrated Circuits need fast, flexible and efficient packet classification technology, the heart and soul of all packet processing.

SOLIDUM Systems is a fabless semiconductor company developing high speed cell and packet classification engines that provide future-proof solutions for policy-based QoS network equipment. SOLIDUM is a privately owned, venture capital backed company. Founded in December 1996 with the headquarters in Ottawa, Canada and US Sales and Marketing office in Scotts Valley, California.

SOLIDUM products are based on the patented programmable state machine hardware architecture and high-level PAX programming language. This unique approach makes SOLIDUM products scalable and cost efficient in devices ranging from LAN workgroup switches to WAN backbone routers. Best of all, it's future-proof. The programmable state machine architecture permits complex policy adaptations, adding magnitudes of scalability while guaranteeing deterministic wire-speed performance up to OC192 data rates. PAX technology helps manufacturers strike the optimal balance between time-to-market, cost and performance.

The technical edge and the broad appeal of the business model have consistently drawn top talent to the company. Superior technology, a developing partner program plus best-of-breed engineering team will propel SOLIDUM to head of the processing class.
