Innovium TERALYNX™ Ethernet switch silicon family provides the highest performance and most scalable data center networking solution with industry-leading analytics, rich standards-based programmability and unmatched power efficiency.
Data centers are set to dominate IT infrastructure. Architectural shifts such as artificial intelligence & machine learning, micro-services based applications, distributed storage using flash/NVMe over fabric, continued adoption of mobile/cloud/video/XaaS and rapid growth of big data analytics is driving explosive data-center traffic growth. Cisco’s Cloud Index report forecasts traffic within large scale data centers will quintuple by 2020. Customers are also experiencing significant growth of IPv6, need for lower latencies, analytics & automation, along with ability to future proof the infrastructure for new features, protocols, connectivity.
Born in the Cloud era, Innovium TERALYNX™ is the industry’s first switch architected from the ground-up to optimally address these needs of large data centers. TERALYNX™, fueled by customer-focused and patent pending innovations, delivers the industry’s most scalable single-chip performance from 3.2Tbps to 12.8Tbps, broadest connectivity & radix, breakthrough telemetry and automation, highest buffer size, best-in-class latency and power efficiency.
