PRODUCT BRIEF
Data Center Ethernet Switch
The world’s highest performance programmable switch – 8 Tbps through 25.6 Tbps
featuring industry-leading analytics, largest on-chip buffer and lowest-latency
OVERVIEW
Data centers are set to dominate IT infrastructure across Cloud, Edge and Enterprise. In addition to an unlimited thirst for bandwidth,
critical data center requirements include deeper, actionable analytics, programmability for fast feature introduction & investment
protection, best power efficiency, low latency and flexibility. These factors demand a fresh, innovative and focused approach to
architecting highly scalable, high performance networking silicon.
Innovium is the only provider offering robust PAM4 networking solutions with a consistent feature set for 1 to 25.6Tbps products today
with architecture scaling to 51.2Tbps+. Innovium’s TERALYNX family delivers low latency, advanced telemetry, rich tunneling and
programmability to enable unmatched visibility while easily adapting to new network protocols. Introduction of TERALYNX 8 along with
TERALYNX 5 and TERALYNX 7 provide a comprehensive switch silicon portfolio for ToR and upper network tiers of cloud and edge data
centers. The TERALYNX 8 family supports FLASHLIGHT™ v3, Innovium’s unique telemetry with the ability to pinpoint any network delays,
drops, or congestion and correlate network events to the application level, all in hardware with zero impact to performance. Modern
software for TERALYNX family, designed from the ground up, has been hardened to be production grade so customers can deploy these
switches with confidence.
