Innovium Introduces TERALYNX® 8, World's Highest Performance Programmable Switch for Data Center Networks with 25.6 Tbps throughput and support for 112 Gbps SerDes I/OInnovium, Inc., a leading provider of networking switch solutions for cloud and edge data centers, today announced TERALYNX® 8, the industry's most advanced 25.6 Tbps programmable switch silicon with support for 112G PAM4 SerDes I/O. It enables customers to build highly compact, highest port-density single-chip switches for 100G to 800G configurations, including 1RU, 32 x 800G switch. Built using proven TERALYNX architecture that is powering the biggest cloud provider networks, TERALYNX 8 delivers the largest on-chip buffers, lowest-latency, unmatched FLASHLIGHT™ v3 telemetry and market-leading power efficiency. TERALYNX 8, along with TERALYNX 7 and TERALYNX 5, is the industry's first and only complete data center product family that delivers a single scalable architecture with consistent feature-set and PAM4 connectivity for all switch and router requirements with bandwidth ranging from 1 Tbps to 25.6 Tbps. Market Dynamics Adoption of cloud computing has continued to grow rapidly as customers benefit from efficiency, scalability, business continuity and cost savings. The coronavirus pandemic and social distancing requirements are further driving a massive systemic shift towards cloud-based operations for retail transactions, remote work and video. According to IDC (News - Alert), data is growing exponentially and is increasingly being stored, processed and analyzed in the cloud. Additionally, upcoming 5G and IoT deployments with up to 100x bandwidth per unit area, along with mega-scale AI / ML models will dramatically increase demand for higher scale networks and bandwidth. Cloud operators are looking to scale their data center networks using higher performance, higher radix and low-latency switches, while significantly reducing cost and power per bit.
