Marvell scales out cloud infrastructure with high-density Prestera CX switching silicon

SANTA CLARA, USA: Marvell, a worldwide leader in integrated silicon solutions, announced the Marvell Prestera CX8297 packet processor with support for up to 96 ports of 10GbE and up to 32 ports of 40GbE.

Specifically built for high-performance public and private cloud infrastructures, the CX8297 is designed to support a full suite of L2-L4 switching and routing-along with converged and enhanced Ethernet (CEE) capabilities.

Increased use of bandwidth-hungry multimedia applications is pushing the scaling limits of typical data centers. Improved broadband connectivity, a surge in media-centric consumer devices and recent advances in multi-core CPU and virtualization technologies are driving a new cloud infrastructure paradigm.

The Prestera CX8297 is Marvell's flagship solution, providing high-density 10GbE/40GbE aggregation capabilities for large data center and cloud infrastructures. Built into the 40nm process node, the CX8297 has industry-leading Gbps/watt performance, enabling next-generation green data centers.
