SANTA CLARA, Calif. ,
July 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor
solutions, today announced that the Marvell®
Teralynx® 10 Ethernet switch device is in volume
production with customer deployments underway. The Teralynx 10
switch is a low power, programmable 51.2 Tbps
Ethernet device with the industry's lowest
latency1, delivering leading performance for training,
inference, general-purpose compute and other workloads to scale
accelerated infrastructure in cloud data centers.
The Teralynx 10 switch device enters production as the growth in
the size of AI clusters and the number of AI data centers is
driving increased demand for high-bandwidth connectivity.
Simultaneously, the industry is undergoing a shift from the
exclusive use of proprietary network operating systems (NOS) to
deployment of open network platforms, such as Linux Foundation's
SONiC and SAI (switch abstraction interface), that enable operators
to rapidly deploy switching from multiple manufacturers, speed up
development timelines and optimize for their specific use
cases.
Shipments of 51.2 Tbps switches are expected to skyrocket from
approximately 77,000 in 2024 to 1.8 million in 2028, a 120%
compound annual growth rate (CAGR), according to 650 Group. 650
Group's co-founder Alan Weckel said,
"51.2T marks a watershed moment in data center switching. Cloud
service providers will rapidly gravitate toward this switch
capacity to build the next generation of infrastructure, placing a
priority on multi-vendor diversity at the system and silicon
levels."
The Teralynx 10 device is based on a clean-sheet switch
architecture that simultaneously delivers high bandwidth, ultra-low
latency, low power, high radix and zero-latency-loss
programmability. This enables a single switching platform design to
be used across multiple points of the network without compromising
functionality or performance. Whether used in top-of-rack (ToR),
leaf, spine, AI cluster, or network edge, the unified platform
offers the attributes required for advanced AI networks and enables
in-field feature updates to support new protocols.
The Teralynx 10 switch software platform is designed to deliver
on the emerging transition to open networking for large scale data
centers. Increasingly, operators are moving from
traditional proprietary network operating systems to
the open-source SONiC platform, similar to how Linux disrupted
proprietary operating systems for server compute. An open-source
approach enables operators to normalize their networking
system software across multiple manufacturers and accelerate
development timelines. From a business perspective, this approach
allows for a broader ecosystem of switch manufacturers with
increased silicon diversity and supply chain stability for cloud
network operators. Operators are increasingly mandating open
network software, and the Marvell Teralynx 10 switch platform
provides a comprehensive solution with an industry-accepted
programming model that can run on Marvell switch solutions as well
as other compatible hardware. (See today's related announcement on
SONiC.)
"AI deployments require a switch solution which is
simultaneously high bandwidth, low power, low latency, and future
proofed for evolving requirements. Marvell has delivered the most
complete AI Ethernet switch solution available to the industry
today, and we are pleased to deliver a production-ready solution
for customers' expanding 51.2 Tbps deployments," said Nick Kucharewski, senior vice president and GM,
Network Switching Business Unit, at Marvell. "This is the
right product at the right time, as the market turns to innovative
solutions from customer-focused suppliers like Marvell to satisfy
their explosive demand for high bandwidth switching in AI data
center buildouts."
Teralynx 10 Features and Benefits
The Teralynx 10
Ethernet switch offers leadership performance and high scale
for the most advanced cloud and AI workloads:
- Lowest latency: Demonstrates 51.2 terabit-per-second
Ethernet throughput with latency as low as 500ns, and sub-600
nanoseconds latency across all packet sizes (See video here). Low
latency is essential for meeting the demands of AI, ML and
distributed workloads, and it directly impacts job completion time
and algorithmic efficiency. The low latency Teralynx switch gives
cloud operators the ability to reduce operating expenses and
increase their capacity for performing revenue-generating
activity.
- Industry-best radix: 512 switching radix enables
operators to reduce the number of switch tiers in large clusters,
yielding dramatically lower power and total cost of ownership
(TCO).
- Low power consumption: The switch consumes 1 watt per
100 gigabits-per-second of bandwidth.
- Programmable: The industry's only switch architecture
that is fully programmable with no impact to packet processing
capacity or latency. The Teralynx 10 device can be applied in
multiple use cases at 51.2 Tbps. This flexibility gives data center
operators investment protection as networking technologies evolve
to handle new protocols.
Expansive Partner Ecosystem
Switch systems based on
the Teralynx 10 device are available from major OEMs, ODMs, and
ISVs to speed adoption, while providing greater choice and ability
for customers to optimize for their unique
environment.
"The proliferation of AI and machine learning in data centers
represents a transformative shift in the industry, driving
unprecedented advancements in computational power, data processing
capabilities, and operational efficiency," said Gavin Cato, head of Portfolio Solutions and CTO,
Connectivity and Cloud Solutions, Celestica. "Celestica
congratulates Marvell on the Teralynx 10 51.2T release and looks
forward to continued collaborations in leading-edge Ethernet
solutions to support bringing advanced AI
capabilities to the market."
"We have been collaborating with Marvell to provide highly
innovative and comprehensive solutions for our customers and we are
very excited to add Teralynx 10 to our portfolio," said
David Tsai, vice president and GM,
Wistron Neweb Corporation, Networking Business Group.
"Keysight's industry-leading test solutions, like the AresONE-M
800GE platform, were instrumental in accurately benchmarking the
Teralynx 10 low-latency capabilities. This precise measurement of
data transfer through the switching fabric is critical in
assessing optimal job completion times for complex AI training
algorithms within massive data center clusters exceeding 100,000
GPUs. By collaborating with Marvell, we're empowering customers to
confidently deploy the Teralynx 10 and achieve peak performance in
their AI cloud infrastructure," said Ram Periakaruppan, vice
president and general manager, Network Test & Security
Solutions, Keysight.
