Drop in replacement boosts performance, cuts power consumption

Broadcom has unveiled the next generation of its StrataXGS Trident Ethernet switch portfolio. Called the Trident-II+ series, the parts are said to be optimised to meet the bandwidth, scalability and efficiency demands of 10GbE virtualised data centres. The company adds the parts can also replace ASICs.

Supporting data rates of up to 1.28Tbit/s, the devices consume 30% less power than previous versions whilst offering double the performance. Amongst the part's features are 128 10Gbit/s serial interfaces, along with up to eight 100GbE ports.

Built on Broadcom's StrataXGS architecture, the 28nm Trident-II+ series provides a drop in power and efficiency improvement, as well as feature and performance upgrades.

"Over the past five years, multiple StrataXGS Trident generations have helped drive the adoption of 10GbE in cloud and mega scale data centres with standard, cost efficient, merchant silicon based platforms," said Ram Velaga, general manager of Network Switch for Broadcom. "Our latest Trident-II+ series offers the economics, performance and virtualisation capabilities required to lead a similar transition across enterprise data centres worldwide."
