SANTA CLARA, Calif. and
TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell (NASDAQ:
MRVL) – a worldwide leader in providing complete silicon solutions
from mobile communications to storage, Internet of Things (IoT),
cloud infrastructure, digital entertainment, in-home content
delivery and Kinoma® software enabling the "Smart Life and Smart
Lifestyle" – today announced new products within the Prestera® DX
and Link Street® SOHO switching families. The Prestera DX and Link
Street SOHO product families continue the company's leadership in
highly integrated switching products with built-in advanced
ARM-based CPUs and full turnkey networking software solution. The
next-generation Prestera DX devices are optimized for high density
1-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)/2.5-Gigabit Ethernet (2.5GbE) deployment
at the enterprise edge and 10GbE/40GbE at aggregation in the small
and medium-sized enterprise (SME) and business (SMB) environments;
the newest Link Street device offers the industry's leading
switch/PHY with 10GbE interfaces and 8 integrated GbE PHYs,
enabling radically new power and size options.
"The proliferation of new 802.11ac-enabled wireless access
points and higher throughput 4G/LTE small cells is forcing an
infrastructure upgrade from 1GbE to 2.5GbE over existing cable
plants," said Michael Zimmerman,
Vice President and General Manager, Connectivity, Storage and
Infrastructure (CSI) BU, Marvell.
"SME networks are also faced with upgrades to support growing 10GbE
connectivity requirements, driven by a new generation of network
appliances and storage systems. Marvell's newest switching devices
and software solutions in the Prestera DX family, the 8212/08 and
4211/10, are continuing steps in our effort to enable more
2.5GbE/5GbE- and 10/40 GbE-centric solutions with higher
performance for feature-rich and secure networking platforms."
The DX8212 and DX8208 packet processors are highly optimized
solutions for 10GbE/40GbE network appliance connectivity in the SMB
and SME environment. Coupled with Marvell's X3240 10GBase-T PHYs,
the Prestera DX8212 and 8208 devices offer a unique way to migrate
from 1GbE Copper or Fiber to 10GbE Copper or Fiber through the use
of the auto-media feature.
The DX4211 and DX4210 are optimized for enterprise edge and
industrial Ethernet applications. With support for port speeds of
1GbE/2.5GbE/5GbE/10GbE/40GbE, these devices are ideally suited to
build the next-generation access infrastructure. Additional support
for virtual bridging and routing and congestion management features
allow the devices to coexist in legacy and newer software-defined
networking (SDN)/Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
cloud-managed network deployments. Integrated dual-core ARM CPUs
enable host offload or allow a complete networking stack for SMB,
SME and enterprise environments.
"Marvell's 88E6390X is a single chip solution with integrated
switch, PHY and ARM CPU that balances the need for a
high-performance yet cost-effective aggregation to 2.5GbE/10GbE,"
continued Michael Zimmerman. "With
the 88E6390X's two 2.5Gb/10Gb uplinks, the SMB owner and solutions
provider can now enable system functionality previously only
available on enterprise-class devices."
Designed for SMB, SME and small office/home office (SOHO)
networking system applications such as standalone switches and
wireless and wired gateway routers as well as industrial Ethernet
applications, the 88E6390X is an extension of the Marvell Link
Street SOHO switch family.
