Innovium, a leading provider of networking switch solutions for cloud and edge data centers, announced TERALYNX 8, the industry’s most advanced 25.6 Tbps programmable switch silicon with support for 112G PAM4 SerDes I/O.
It enables customers to build highly compact, highest port-density single-chip switches for 100G to 800G configurations, including 1RU, 32 x 800G switch. Built using proven TERALYNX architecture that is powering the biggest cloud provider networks, TERALYNX 8 delivers the largest on-chip buffers, lowest-latency, unmatched FLASHLIGHT v3 telemetry and market-leading power efficiency.
TERALYNX 8, along with TERALYNX 7 and TERALYNX 5, is the industry’s first and only complete data center product family that delivers a single scalable architecture with consistent feature-set and PAM4 connectivity for all switch and router requirements with bandwidth ranging from 1 Tbps to 25.6 Tbps.
Adoption of cloud computing has continued to grow rapidly as customers benefit from efficiency, scalability, business continuity and cost savings. The coronavirus pandemic and social distancing requirements are further driving a massive systemic shift towards cloud-based operations for retail transactions, remote work and video.
Brad Casemore, Research Vice President, Datacenter Networks at IDC said “As enterprises continue to migrate business-critical workloads to clouds, and as consumers continue to flock to rich cloud services, the demand for robust network performance and greater scalability intensifies in cloud environments. Innovium’s 25.6Tbps TERALYNX 8 Ethernet switch silicon, with its large on-chip buffers and low latency, is well placed to meet the exacting requirements of both fast-growing cloud datacenters, which are tackling increasingly sophisticated AI workloads, and cloud edge environments, which are integral to emerging 5G use cases.”
Innovium is powering major deployment ramps at several hyperscale data center customers with its production-released TERALYNX 7 12.8T switch silicon. Leveraging the same proven TERALYNX architecture, Innovium is introducing TERALYNX 8 to provide the next level of scalability these data centers need to keep up with the massive growth being experienced by them. Customers can build a range of highest radix 100/200/400/800G switches with the lowest power and latency using TERALYNX 8.
“We are excited to see several top cloud customers deploying our industry-leading TERALYNX 7 based switches. They are experiencing tremendous growth from workloads such as AI, HPC and dis-aggregated storage and looking for significantly higher networking performance,” said Rajiv Khemani, CEO and Co-Founder of Innovium. “Leveraging our modern, ultra-efficient TERALYNX architecture, we are pleased to launch TERALYNX 8 that addresses critical requirements of performance, latency, analytics and quality for next generation data-center networks.”
Samples of TERALYNX 8 switch silicon and reference systems will be available in 2H 2020. For further information mail at sales@innovium.com.
