Many SMEs are using cloud services and deploying advanced IP applications. It is expected that by 2015, SMEs' spending on public cloud services will grow to US $ 32 billion3. Although this will help companies reduce capital expenditures and equipment maintenance costs, it requires more complex network management functions and stricter security controls. In addition, large-bandwidth applications and a new generation of high-speed servers facilitate the penetration of 10G into the network of small and medium-sized enterprises. StrataConnect â„¢ series products help customers build "cloud-ready" networks and achieve efficient and leading large-bandwidth applications.
The new StrataConnect â„¢ series of products guarantee higher network security and prioritize according to different applications. The integrated CPU can expand the processing capacity on demand and provide stronger intelligence to achieve cloud-based network management. In addition, the new product's advanced power management function saves energy beyond the requirements of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE).
NETGEAR's Derek Lam, Vice President of Engineering, SME Exchange and Wireless, said: "Cloud services have become an important way for SMEs to manage their networks, and they can provide leading technologies without going through large-scale IT systems. Therefore, leading-edge, scalable switching solutions The solution is particularly important today. And semiconductor suppliers need to provide network optimization products for SMEs to cope with this development trend. "
Ed Redmond, vice president of Broadcom and general manager of the Computing and Interconnect Division, said: "Broadcom has a leading position in the Ethernet market. We have designed the most integrated, scalable, and feature-rich switching products that can meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises. The efficiency requirements of enterprise networks. Based on our mature architecture, we have developed a new generation of SME network solutions to meet the growing needs of enterprises in cloud services, wireless users, VoIP phones and security. "
Market driving force:
The emergence of cloud services has promoted the need for comprehensive security and service quality in the remote delivery of cloud applications;
· Large-bandwidth applications promote the penetration of 10GbE Ethernet into SME networks;
· Smaller companies are constrained by budgets to reduce capital expenditures, so lower power consumption and more optimized solutions are needed.
Product Highlights:
· Scalable table size and leading security features can support more and more VoIP and wireless network deployments and cloud-based network management;
· The high-performance ARM-based CPU on the chip can be expanded with the deployment of cloud applications;
· Integrated 10GbE ports to connect to high-speed servers to facilitate the deployment of large-bandwidth applications in SME networks;
· Adopting advanced energy-saving methods, such as burst and batch control policies and LED brightness control, reduces power consumption and exceeds the target set by EEE.
Supply:
StrataConnect series SoC exchange products include BCM53333, BCM53334, BCM53344 and BCM53346. All devices have begun to provide samples, and mass production will begin in the first half of 2013.

A rice cooker or rice steamer is an automated kitchen appliance designed to boil or steam rice. It consists of a heat source, a cooking bowl, and a thermostat. The thermostat measures the temperature of the cooking bowl and controls the heat. Complex rice cookers may have many more sensors and other components, and may be multipurpose. Cooking rice has traditionally required constant attention to ensure the rice was cooked properly, and not burnt. Electric rice cookers automate the process by mechanically or electronically controlling heat and timing, thus freeing up a heating element on the cooking range that had to be otherwise occupied for rice cooking. Although the rice cooker does not necessarily speed up the cooking process, with an electric rice cooker the cook's involvement in cooking rice is reduced to simply measuring the rice, preparing the rice properly and using the correct amount of water. Once the rice cooker is set to cook, the rice will be cooked with no further attention.
Features:
For modern home rice cookers, the smallest single-person model cooks 1 rice cup (180 ml), whereas large models can cook 10 cups. Commercial models can cook 20 or more cups. As a possible source of confusion, model specifications and names may list either cooked or uncooked capacity. Rice roughly doubles in size during cooking; therefore, a 10 cup (uncooked) rice cooker can produce up to 20 cups of cooked rice. The prices vary greatly, depending on the capacity, features, materials used, and the country of origin.
The majority of modern electric rice cookers are equipped with a stay-warm or keep-warm feature, which keeps the rice at an optimal temperature for serving without over-cooking it. Some gas cookers also have electric stay-warm mechanism. However, the usefulness of this feature degrades over time, a microwave may be more energy efficient or better suited to reheat rice that will sit longer than four hours.
Some rice cookers use induction heating, with one or more induction heaters directly warming the pot. This can improve energy efficiency.
Most modern rice cookers use aluminium for the inner cooking bowl. There are some models that use stainless steel instead of aluminium. Various other materials, such as copper, pure carbon, ceramic, and diamond powder coating, may be used for higher heat conductivity or better taste.
The pressure-cooking models can raise the water's boiling point higher, e.g., from 100 °C at 1.0 atm up to about 110 °C at 1.4 atm, which speeds cooking. The pressure-cooking models can also be used in high altitude areas, where the boiling temperature is below 100 Celsius. Pressure cookers are also suitable for cooking brown rice (which contains oils and bran fiber that cook differently from pure white rice starch). Some pressure rice cookers have a varying pressure control mechanism (named the "dual-pressure" method) that creates repeated pressure/release cycles during the cooking.
There also exist mechanisms to collect and return the boiled over liquid to the inner rice bowl.
Many cookers now have microprocessor-controlled cooking cycles, which are often used to adjust for rice and cooking type.
Applications
Rice cookers are typically used for the preparation of plain or lightly seasoned rice. Each rice cooker model may be optimized to cook a certain type of rice best. For example, most Japanese rice cookers are optimized for cooking Japanese rice and may not be the best for other types of rice[citation needed], although cooking time can be lengthened simply by more water.
The typical method of cooking long grain rice is boil-and-strain and/or steaming method. The absorption method used in Japanese rice cookers will produce slightly different texture and taste, usually stickier rice.
Brown rice generally needs longer cooking times than white rice, unless it is broken or flourblasted (which perforates the bran).
Different varieties of rice need different cooking times, depending on their grain size, grain shape, and grain composition. There are three main types of Asian rice: Oryza sativa subsp. indica, i.e., Indian rice (long grain rice, e.g., basmati rice and Thai jasmine rice), O. sativa subsp. javanica, i.e., Java rice (large grain rice) and O. sativa subsp. japonica, i.e., Japanese rice (medium grain rice, e.g., Calrose rice, short grain rice, e.g., most Japanese rice and risotto rice).
African rice, Oryza glaberrima, is an entirely separate species, but can be cooked in the same way. Zizania is not even in the same genus, although it is often called a rice (or "water oats"); it, too, can also be cooked in a rice cooker.
A rice cooker can be used to cook many boiled or steamed granular foods, such as pot barley, bulgar wheat, and dal. Provided the ingredients have similar cooking times, a rice cooker can cook mixtures such as khichdi. Some rice cookers can be used as automated couscoussiers, cooking couscous and a stew simultaneously.
