Broadcom Introduces Industry's First Ethernet Switching Silicon for 100 Tbps Scalable Systems
New Series First to Support Native 100 Gbps Interfaces and Marks Successful Integration of Dune Networks
Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq: BRCM), a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced the Broadcom® BCM88600 series, the industry's first Ethernet switching silicon to enable scalable modular switching platforms with capacity ranging from 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps) to 100 Terabits per second (Tbps). As a result of increasing video and data traffic, massive scalability and ultra high bandwidth are key requirements for next generation switching infrastructures. Large data centers with thousands of servers will soon require 100 Gbps network connectivity in the core and for
interconnecting data centers, while large service provider networks will require core routers with 100 Gbps interfaces. The BCM88600 series integrates the features and functionality of an entire high-performance line card into a single chip, thus enabling a new generation of ultra high bandwidth networking solutions. Today's announcement also marks the successful integration of Dune Networks (acquired December 2009) switch fabric solutions into the Broadcom product portfolio.
