Applied Signal Technology to Use CloudShield's General Purpose Deep Packet Processing Platform to Develop New Applications
    CloudShield(R) Technologies, Inc., the leader in high performance open platforms for network security and content analysis applications, today announced that Applied Signal Technology (NASDAQ:APSG) will use CloudShield's high-speed CS-2000 Deep Packet Processing Server to quickly develop new applications. By using the CS-2000, Applied Signal Technology will be able to ensure their products deliver the quality signal collection and processing capabilities their customers have come to expect for high-speed packet-based networks running IP based protocols.
    "The telecommunications industry and the Department of Defense are undergoing a dramatic transformation toward Internet Protocol (IP) based communications systems and we've been researching ways to quickly respond," said Dr. John Treichler, CTO of Applied Signal Technology. "The CloudShield CS-2000 allows us to do this by offering deep packet processing capabilities within a high-performance, high-capacity platform."
    Applied Signal Technology will develop new applications on the CloudShield CS-2000, a platform specifically designed to enable network packet processing applications and services to be created both quickly and cost-effectively. The CS-2000 combines one or more programmable Deep Packet Processing Modules, which provide the computing capacity and resources to perform complex packet operations in real-time, with a Pentium-based Linux server module for system and application management operations. This Deep Packet Processing Server provides 100% traffic visibility with complete packet analysis, transformation, and control for high-speed high-demand network applications.
    "We are very happy to add Applied Signal Technology to a growing list of world class solution developers adopting CloudShield platforms," said Pat Reilly, vice president of marketing and federal development at CloudShield. "Federal Agencies are migrating quickly towards network centric operations creating new network security challenges, demanding new solutions. By combining CloudShield's multi-mission deep packet processing platform with their signal processing expertise, Applied Signal Technology will be a major contributor in these migration efforts."
