SAN JOSE, Calif., March 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cavium, Inc.,
(NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that
enable intelligent processing for enterprise, data center, cloud,
wired and wireless networking, will demonstrate Cavium's newest
products supporting Open Compute Project (OCP): based on ThunderX
Workload optimized processors and highly configurable Ethernet
switches for next generation data center and cloud
infrastructure.
Industry adoption of OCP is rapidly growing as the next
generation cloud data center stresses on efficient data center
designs for scalable computing in form of workload optimized
servers, scale out storage appliances and flexible network
architectures. Cavium's innovative data center & cloud
technology product offerings target efficiency, high-performance
and flexibility thereby complementing the goals of OCP networking
initiatives. Designs deploying Cavium technology offerings are
optimized for total cost of ownership (TCO) and complexity that are
essential key requirements for scalable computing designs.
The ThunderX product family is Cavium's 64-bit ARMv8-A server
processor for next generation Data Center and Cloud applications
that features high performance custom cores, single and dual socket
configurations, high memory bandwidth and large memory capacity.
The product family also includes integrated hardware accelerators,
integrated feature rich high bandwidth network and storage IO,
fully virtualized core and IO, and scalable high bandwidth, low
latency Ethernet fabric, which affords ThunderX best-in-class
performance per dollar and watt.
Cavium's XPliant Ethernet switch family targets applications in
cloud / enterprise data centers and service provider
infrastructure, for both top-of-rack and backbone applications.
XPliant Packet Architecture (XPA) enables very high level of table
flexibility and extensible header support without any compromise in
throughput. XPliant family of Ethernet switches offers centralized
shared packet buffer architecture to absorb the large bursts. The
combination of leading performance and remarkable flexibility is
attractive across all the segments. These highly configurable
Ethernet switches which provides bandwidth from 1Tbps to 3.2Tbps in
monolithic silicon supports 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G and 100G
interfaces. This family of switches also provides connectivity
solutions for embedded applications. Cavium will show the following
product demonstrations in booth C3 at OCP 2016:
- ThunderX®: 64-bit ARMv8 based SoC family
of workload optimized processors with a range of SKUs and form
factors optimized for high performance computing, including volume
compute, storage, secure compute and networking specific workloads
- Demonstration of ThunderX based OCP servers by various ODM
vendors
- Demonstration of ThunderX storage server cluster running Red
Hat Ceph
- XPliant®: Extensible, feature rich, cloud scale
datacenter switches providing throughput from 1Tbps to 3.2Tbps
- Demonstration of FBOSS and OpenSwitch NOS software running on
the Cavium's XPliant based Edgecore AS7500-32X platform.
- Demonstration of Microsoft Azure's network software
running on Cavium's XPliant based Edgecore AS7500-32X platform via
Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI) adopter at Microsoft's
booth
- Demonstration of Pica8's PicOS software running on Cavium's
XPliant based Edgecore AS7500-32X platform
- Demonstration of XPliant–based 32x100G platforms from various
ODM partners.
