Cavium and Elenion Collaborate to Offer Sip Enabled End-to-End Server-to-Switch Solutions

2017-03-20    Cfol

LOS ANGELES, March 20, 2017 –  Cavium, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor  products that enable secure and intelligent packet processing, and  Elenion Technologies ("Elenion"), an innovator in silicon photonics,  today announced an end-to-end reference architecture for Next Generation Enterprise and Cloud Data Centers incorporating Cavium's QLogic Network Interface Cards (NICs) and XPliant®-based switches, and Elenion's Silicon Photonics on-board optics. This direct  fiber-to-the-server and parallel multi-channel on-board solution for  switches enables increased bandwidth to the server, aggregation to 400G  and beyond, lower power consumption, and a path to the industry target  of < $1/Gb.

                     Cavium and Elenion will be showcasing their reference design for  fiber-to-the-server solutions during OFC 2017 in Los Angeles (March  20-23). Cavium is contributing two important elements of this  architecture. The first is Cavium's QLogic high performance  multi-protocol Ethernet adapters supporting 10Gb/25Gb/40Gb/100Gb speeds  and ideally suited for enterprise and cloud data centers. And the second is Cavium's XPliant Ethernet switch family, first to deliver a high  throughput programmable data center switching solution that is shipping  today in production. Platforms based on the XPliant Ethernet switch  family leverage its programmatic control of table resources and pipeline logic to meet the specific needs of the network architecture and while  providing exceptional packet visibility and telemetry. The demonstration leverages Elenion's next-generation photonics platform and packaging  technology, and showcases advanced on-board transceivers with light  sources integrated onto the silicon photonics. This innovative  integration enables truly scalable, cost disruptive on-board solutions  for NIC and switch applications within the data center (DC).

                     "Elenion on-board optic modules are a key  component in the end-to-end flexible solutions of Cavium NIC and  switching systems, enabling high-speed links over optical fiber in a  cost-effective manner" – Eric Hayes, Vice President / General Manager,  Switch Platform Group.

                   "Through the use of on-board optics (OBO), more  efficient data center architectures can be realized, resulting in  significant savings.  We're excited with the progress made by Elenion  and Cavium." said Jeff Cox, Principal Director of Network Engineering at Microsoft.

                   As traffic volumes within data center networks  continue to scale dramatically, silicon photonics plays a key role in  enabling the way data center networks are re-architected, including a  move away from pluggable optics to on-board optics. On-board optics  offer the benefit of improved performance and network economics.
