SANTA CLARA, Calif. and
TAIPEI, Taiwan, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL), a world leader in storage,
cloud infrastructure, Internet of Things (IoT), connectivity and
multimedia semiconductor solutions, today announced the Prestera®
98DX325x campus programmable switch. The 98DX325x switch is
optimized for 24- and 48-ports of 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), and
has dedicated 10GbE and 40GbE uplinks and stacking ports. The
devices offer wire speed packet processing bandwidth of 168Gbps in
an optimized and compact footprint, and are now available for
sampling.
"2.5GbE network ports are being widely deployed in campus
environments. This is a prime time for a disruptive, cost-effective
2.5GbE access solution with 40GbE uplinks or stacking," said
Michael Zimmerman, Vice President
and General Manager, Connectivity, Storage and Infrastructure (CSI)
Business Unit at Marvell Semiconductor, Inc.
Coupled with Marvell's 88E2040 quad NBASE-T™ physical
layer devices (PHYs), the Prestera 98DX325x offers a cost-effective
way to support the convergence of the wired and wireless network
while utilizing already deployed CAT5e Ethernet cabling and
infrastructure to migrate from 1GbE Copper to 2.5GbE copper. The
98DX325x can be implemented in various applications including
802.11ac Access Point uplinks, switches, servers, workstations and
high-end PCs. Additionally, with the 98DX325x, Marvell now brings
software-defined networking (SDN) and switch abstraction interface
(SAI) to 2.5GbE campus environments enabling private cloud
deployments with a full software stack turnkey solution.
Key features of Marvell's Prestera 98DX325x switch
- 48 ports of 1GbE with four ports of 10GbE uplinks and two ports
of 40GbE stacking for standard Enterprise and SMB/SME access
deployments
- Up to 24 ports of 2.5GbE with 10GbE and 40GbE uplink and
stacking for large wireless campus deployments
- Support for virtual bridging and routing and congestion
management features enabling software-defined networking
(SDN)/Network Function Virtualization (NFV) cloud-managed network
deployments
- Advanced virtual overlay networking offering support for NVGRE,
VXLAN-GPE, NSH, GENEVE, Shortest
Path Bridging (SPB), TRILL and GRE
- Server virtualization compliant with IEEE 802.1Qbg EVB, 802.1BR
Port Extender
- IEEE 1588 1-step timing for precision timing applications
Marvell's award-winning Prestera switching product family will
be demonstrated at Computex 2016 in Taipei, Taiwan from May
31 – June 3.
