Embedded Appliances

Proudly designed and manufactured in Fremont, California, Interface Masters Technologies delivers a diverse portfolio of MIPS and ARM-embedded networking appliances. Powered by Marvell™ Cavium® processors—including the OCTEON® II, OCTEON III, OCTEON-TX2, and OCTEON 10 DPUs—our network processing platforms are engineered for maximum flexibility. Available in both 1U and desktop form factors, these compact, energy-efficient, and cost-effective appliances can be customized across a wide range of CPU speeds, core counts, I/O interfaces, and memory configurations to meet your exact requirements.

ARM

Interface Masters Technologies leverages industry-leading architecture for our ARM-embedded networking appliances, utilizing Marvell's high-performance OCTEON-TX2 (CN9880) processors alongside the OCTEON 10 DPU (CN103 and CN106) series.

All appliances ship with the Marvell SDK, supporting multiple Linux distributions. By integrating the DPDK library, we enable developers to build custom user-space networking applications that leverage our built-in RVU-based coprocessors for maximum efficiency.

Hybrid x86 Appliances

Hybrid x86 Appliances: The Intersection of Networking and AI
Interface Masters Technologies’ hybrid x86 networking appliances are engineered for elite performance, powered by AMD MILAN EPYC™ 7003, Intel® x86, and server-class processors. For workloads requiring advanced AI inference and deep learning, select models feature our Special Function Module (SFM). This unique expansion bay supports off-the-shelf NVIDIA GPUs and our proprietary DataSlammer® Intel® Xeon®-D based offload technology, providing the computational muscle needed for next-generation intelligence at the edge.

All Interface Masters hardware is subjected to comprehensive signal, power, and thermal integrity testing. By leveraging ANSYS® simulation and proprietary AMD® tools during the development phase, we ensure that our compact and high-power platforms maintain optimal performance and thermal regulation under heavy workloads.

Power PC

Interface Masters Technologies offers a robust line of networking appliances built on the NXP/Freescale QorIQ® T4240 and C29x crypto processors, as well as server-class PowerPC architectures. Beyond the silicon, we provide feature-optimized mechanical designs and modular I/O options, ensuring maximum manufacturing flexibility. Each appliance is fully customizable, with scalable CPU speeds, core counts, memory configurations, and I/O interfaces tailored to your specific deployment needs.
