SAN JOSE, Calif., March 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/-- Xilinx,
Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) announced today it will debut a number of
industry-first solutions at OFC 2017 thereby extending its lead of
high speed data center interconnect (DCI) solutions offering.
Targeting DCI applications, these solutions give systems OEMs
maximum flexibility and enable migration to next-generation
designs, allowing for scalable performance at the lowest risk while
ensuring network security. With data center network traffic and
bandwidth requirements ever increasing, data centers require
cutting-edge solutions for metro and long haul applications that
meet rapidly changing high speed networking and security
requirements. Xilinx is addressing these issues with off-the-shelf
solutions available today. Visit Xilinx at OFC booth #1809,
March 21 – 23, in Los Angeles, CA to learn about these
demonstrations and more.
- Industry-First 400GE Multi-Vendor Network
This demo
features the world's first standards-based 400GE MAC and PCS IP in
a Xilinx® Virtex® UltraScale+™ VU9P FPGA. Showcasing the emerging
400GE standard interoperability between multiple vendors, the demo
illustrates the Xilinx 400G solution connecting to a Finisar 400GE
CFP8 module which in turn connects to a Spirent 400G test module in
the Ethernet Alliance booth.
- FlexE for DCI Transport
World's first complete FlexE
1.0 solution showcasing bonding, sub-rating and channelization on
UltraScale+ FPGAs. This solution demonstrates how multiple clients
can be transported using FlexE and highlights the ability of FlexE
to carry larger data pipes and match them to transport links for
optimal utilization of the link budget. This solution allows
network operators to maximize optical performance and lower
operating costs over existing infrastructure.
- Automation and Security Functions for DCI Solutions
This demonstration shows how LLDP packets can be snooped on
transport line cards to allow a SDN controller to build a network
topology for automation integral to data center networks. It also
shows the use of IEEE compliant MACsec to encrypt and authenticate
the link for security. As more and more critical applications and
data migrate to the cloud, MACsec provides data encryption and
authentication to preserve privacy. Such a solution is mandatory in
front of a traditional DSP to provide a complete DCI solution.
- Optical Technology Abstraction in DCI Transport
With
the emergence of differing optical technologies such as DSPs,
PAM-4, coherent, and extended reach LR, customers must abstract
such technologies from a system and software perspective. This demo
illustrates how Xilinx FPGAs provide the required abstraction from
differing technology integration by multiple manufacturers and
enables designers to choose or mix optical technologies on a single
platform.
- 56G PAM4 Transceiver Performance
This demonstration
showcases Xilinx's new 56G PAM-4 transceiver test chip in 16nm
FinFET delivering optimized performance for backplane and LR
applications.
Xilinx Interoperability Demonstrations
Together with
its ecosystem, Xilinx enables robust solutions to enable
accelerated time to production and rapid customer deployment. The
following interoperability demonstrations will be on display at
OFC.
- 400GE Multi-Vendor Network (Ethernet Alliance Booth
#3709)
Showcasing interoperability between multiple vendors,
the demo illustrates the Xilinx 400G solution connecting to a
Finisar 400GE CFP8 module which in turn connects to an Ixia test
set in the Finisar booth.
- 10GE Aggregation with FlexE for DCI Transport (OIF Booth
#3853)
Demonstration of an OIF FlexE implementation carrying
multiple clients. Xilinx 20nm Virtex® UltraScale FPGAs are used to
implement the world's first OIF FlexE solution of a channelized
FlexE group.
- 56Gb/s PAM-4 Transceiver Interoperability (OIF Booth
#3853)
Xilinx PAM-4 transceiver interoperating with 3rd
party PAM-4 transceivers over industry standard LR backplanes,
QSFP28 connectors and copper cables.
