SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
July 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) today announced an integrated set of
access, aggregation and core Ethernet switch and PHY solutions that
intelligently enable secure and efficient data movement throughout
enterprise networks. The new portfolio is purpose-built to address
the specific requirements of the borderless enterprise as mobility
and cloud applications extend the boundaries of the traditional
campus environment. Today's enterprise IT organizations are tasked
with delivering a seamless experience — including to an
ever-growing remote workforce — with zero-downtime, higher
bandwidth performance for video and content sharing, and data
protection and security. Marvell's unified Prestera®
Ethernet switch and Alaska® PHY solution set is
architected from the ground up with insightful telemetry,
flow-aware intelligence, scalable performance and
advanced integrated security technologies that set the bar in
switching.
With a complete line of GE, 2.5GE, 5GE, 10GE, 25GE, 100GE and
400GE platforms, the portfolio is designed to fit a variety of
network architectures at different speeds, densities and scales at
small, medium and large enterprise IT organizations. This latest
generation of solutions, comprised of four cutting-edge Prestera
Ethernet switches and corresponding Alaska Ethernet PHYs,
create a clear path to upgrade enterprise networks to multi-gigabit
Ethernet in support of Wi-Fi 6 and 5G deployments. Marvell's
intelligent workload management enables optimized data processing
at or near the network access edge, improving the performance of
hybrid cloud architectures. Insightful telemetry capabilities
enable the solution to produce data that facilitates network
automation and expedites forensic analytics. Advanced security
features underpin trustworthiness and provide network embedded
protection from ever-evolving security threats. To support emerging
use cases in retail, manufacturing, hospitality, finance and
education, Marvell's switching family is built with flexibility and
feature richness to address the imminent needs these networks
face.
"Today's astounding data growth, high user expectations and
enhanced security requirements are putting massive strain on
existing network infrastructure and ultimately, on the IT
organizations that manage them," said Guy
Azrad, general manager and senior vice president of
Switching, Marvell. "Built on more than two decades of networking
innovation, our newest switch and PHY solutions are designed to
enable and accelerate more advanced, reliable and secure networks —
across industries — and support new artificial intelligence
services driven by the digital transformation."
Marvell's secure, software-defined and cloud-friendly silicon
advances automation and network adaptation. The scalability and
capacity fulfill ever-increasing bandwidth demands, assure business
continuity and excel in delivering integral quality of experience
to the network. The refreshed Prestera switching architecture, with
integrated programmable pipeline processing elements and compute
resources, provides investment protection as networks plan for
flexibility to support future use cases.
"With the burgeoning growth of 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and IoT devices to
the network, enterprise switching will continue to extend beyond
the traditional on-premises campus environment with increasing
deployments at the access and intelligent edge," said Sameh
Boujelbene, senior research director, Dell'Oro Group. "These
deployment use cases are driving emerging requirements in terms of
security, analytics, visibility and automation. Marvell's new
Prestera switch portfolio helps address those requirements."
Solution Highlights and Key Benefits
The
comprehensive portfolio of next-generation Prestera Ethernet
switches and Alaska PHYs advance enterprise networks' digital
transformation by delivering software and hardware unified
solutions from access to core, fitting a variety of architectures,
speeds, densities and scales. Marvell groundbreaking technologies
lay out the essential foundation for innovations in network
visibility, intelligence, performance and security.
- TrackIQ drives rigorous visibility and actionable
analytics by providing accurate line-rate real-time telemetry data
about network flows, anomalies and device healthiness.
- NetIQ powers intelligent data processing
at the network edge for auto-healing and auto-adaptation as well as
feature engineering for AI applications and machine learning.
- SecureIQ delivers network-embedded
trustworthiness and advanced security to protect hardware and
network software from ever-evolving security threats. The switches
integrate secure boot and an IEEE 802.1AE Media Access Control
Security (MACsec) Engine to provide cryptography-based security for
Ethernet traffic passing through all network-facing ports.
- Performance – Facilitates transition to mGig
connectivity with Wi-Fi 6-enabled access points and
high-performance end devices. The portfolio provides the capacity
across networks to meet increased workloads and data cloudification
bandwidth demands – essential to assure network performance and
continuity.
The new generation of enterprise switches include a software
development kit that has been refreshed with industry-standard
switch abstraction interfaces enabling networking system vendors to
easily migrate across networking silicon choices. Marvell continues
strong support of a rich ecosystem such as Linux Foundation's DENT,
Open Compute Project's SONiC, and a variety of commercial
networking software solutions including Marvell's own turnkey
networking software stack, enabling a comprehensive platform of
options from original device manufacturers.
The portfolio includes state-of-the-art Ethernet PHY devices
which span data rates between 10Mbps to 400Gbps. Marvell copper
PHYs are leaders in the field in cabling reach performance, EMI
immunity and low power dissipation while its optical PHYs provide
superior SerDes performance, gearbox flexibility, and MACsec
encryption at very high data rates. The newest additions to the
copper PHY product family are specifically optimized for the
2.5Gbps and 5Gbps data rates required for Wi-Fi 6 uplinks. The
quad-port device is capable of Cat5e cable reach in excess of 230
meters at 2.5Gbps allowing for remote deployment of access points
beyond building structured wiring.
Availability
The first of the Alaska PHYs and Prestera
switches are available now with the complete portfolio by end of
the year.
