SANTA CLARA, Calif. and
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL), a world leader in
storage, cloud infrastructure, Internet of Things (IoT),
connectivity and multimedia semiconductor solutions, today
announced the availability of its ARMADA® 3700
system-on-chip (SoC), a highly-flexible and scalable solution
optimized for media-attached network storage, mobile-attached
network storage, distributed cloud SSD/HDD storage, retail Wi-Fi
routers, Wi-Fi repeater, IoT hub and gateway applications.
Based on Marvell's groundbreaking modular chip or MoChi™
architecture, the ARMADA 3700 family can be expanded as a Virtual
SoC (Marvell VSoC™) with additional MoChi modules to support
customized connectivity and I/O technologies and interfaces. The
ARMADA 3700 is an extremely low-power solution, providing even
battery-powered media storage, and its compact size (11.5mm x
10.5mm) enables smaller and more elegant form factor designs.
Integrating a powerful dual 64-bit ARM®v8
Cortex®-A53 processor, the Marvell VSoC allows the chip
to run multiple applications simultaneously.
"The ARMADA 3700 is Marvell's flagship MoChi SoC solution that
easily and seamlessly connects to other Marvell MoChi modules to
create a virtual SoC for enabling a new set of applications with a
simple and flexible design approach," said Michael Zimmerman, Vice President and General
Manager, Connectivity, Storage and Infrastructure at Marvell
Semiconductor, Inc. "Optimized for low-power, small form factor
applications including battery-powered devices such as
mobile-attached network storage, the ARMADA 3700 easily integrates
with Marvell's lines of industry-leading connectivity and storage
solutions to bring high-performance, cloud-distributed storage and
networking management platforms quickly and easily to market."
"We are excited to partner with Marvell to provide our retail
customers with a highly optimized networking router solution. The
ARMADA 3700 chip facilitates small form factor retail router and
repeater designs with the performance needed to run multiple
applications simultaneously, enabling retailers to provide high
quality connectivity experiences to customers," said Michael Chen, Head of Sales of the Networking
Business Group at WNC.
"When evaluating technology vendors, we were impressed with
Marvell's proven track record of delivering industry-leading
networking solutions. The ARMADA 3700 has the optimal processing
performance to power our robust NAS boxes in a low power and cost
efficient package," said Chris Tzou,
Head of Digital Multimedia Business Unit at Alpha Networks Inc.
The ARMADA 3700 SoC family incorporates rich high-speed I/Os
including USB 3.0, SATA 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) and 2.5 GbE
(NBASE-T). In addition, the devices feature a wide set of security
and data acceleration engines suitable for innovative networking,
storage, and compute applications. The ARMADA 3700 supports
advanced power management technologies for switching on each CPU
core as well as per core dynamic voltage and frequency scaling.
This offers a significant reduction in power consumption under
different workloads and delivers unprecedented performance-per-watt
and performance-per-dollar in the embedded markets.
"Marvell's VSoC approach enables OEMs to rapidly adapt to
changing market dynamics and makes the MoChi devices usable for
longer periods of time for broader applications," said Jag Bolaria,
Principal Analyst for Embedded and Servers at The Linley Group.
"Targeting networking and storage applications, Marvell's ARMADA
3700 family VSoC offers low-power, small form factor solutions that
customers can use to reduce development costs and expedite product
development."
The ARMADA 3700 chip is currently sampling to customers
designing and developing network storage, retail router and
repeater, and various other solutions.
Marvell's cloud services and infrastructure solutions including
the ARMADA 3700 chip are being showcased at CES 2016 in Marvell's
suite, Level 3, Murano 3304, at The Venetian. CES is being held in
Las Vegas, NV at the Las Vegas
Convention and World Trade Center and the Venetian Hotel on Jan.
6–9, 2016.
