SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Oct. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell
(NASDAQ: MRVL) today introduced Questflo™ (98TX1100), a
groundbreaking Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)-based network
search engine, that delivers the industry's highest capacity and
fastest performance while using a fraction of the power of existing
solutions today. Marvell's new Questflo product line delivers 4X
capacity at 1/3 the power consumption to address the needs of next
generation networking equipment to collectively support the
explosive growth of mobile devices, Internet of Things (IoT) and
automotive connectivity where today's traditional Ternary Content
Addressable Memory (TCAM)-based solutions are unable to address
these future scaling requirements of both bandwidth and service
density from a system cost, power, form-factor and reliability
perspective. Marvell's new Questflo product line marks a technology
breakthrough that will help carriers and service providers
introduce, manage and rapidly scale new revenue-generating services
while offering enhanced security and network quality. Applications
for the 98TX1100 include carrier and enterprise service/edge
routers, security appliances, network probes, data center switches,
servers, load-balancers and new classes of Software Defined Network
(SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) platforms.
"Network search engine is a key pillar in supporting today's
vast infrastructure of cloud computing and cloud-based services. I
am very pleased that our groundbreaking Questflo technology will
quadruple the network search capacity at the fastest speed and at a
fraction of the power consumption for security appliances, software
defined networks and other key network applications. It enables
service providers and network operators around the world to
significantly scale up their ability for the fast growing mobile
internet and Internet of Things markets," said Weili Dai, President and Co-Founder of Marvell.
"I am very proud of our dedicated and innovative global engineering
teams for continuously raising the technology bar and making
unparalleled contributions to the industry. It is our mission and
passion at Marvell to make the world a better place through
technology invention and innovation."
"As next-generation networking equipment adopts new paradigms
based on highly flexible and highly scalable flow-based services,
Marvell is entering the market as a credible supplier of network
search technology. The magnitude of scaling required by these new
equipment designs can only be realized using innovative new
approaches like that represented by Questflo," said Bob Wheeler, Principal Analyst for Networking at
The Linley Group.
As SDN has become a reality, the Questflo 98TX1100 family of
network search co-processors is able to flexibly manage, deliver
and secure up to 8 million service and virtualized flows with
deterministic throughput and latency regardless of bandwidth,
packet size and search lengths. The 98TX1100 is typically used with
a network packet processor featuring standard high-speed Interlaken
(ILK-LA) interfaces, such as Marvell's Xelerated® family of
programmable network processors, Prestera® family of Ethernet
packet processors or any customized ASIC or FPGA-based solution to
scale the level of service processing beyond what can be supported
and implemented in a single device.
Key features of Marvell Questflo 98TX1100 family include:
- Up to 8 million flow entries
- Flexible table configurations and multi-width searches
- Advanced automatic table and resource management
- 2.4 billion searches per second
- Deterministic throughput of 1 clock cycle per search from 80b
up to 640b keys
- Deterministic fixed low latency for searches from 80b up to
640b keys
- Multi-port configuration for device and resource sharing
- Carrier Grade reliability with ECC memory protection
- Typical power consumption of 25W
The Questflo 98TX1100 family is currently sampling along with
the evaluation platform and SDK. A complete platform development
kit consisting of Marvell's Xelerated 400Gbps wire-speed network
processor (NPU) and ARMADA® XP, 1.6GHz, quad-core, ARM-based
embedded control processor is also available to enable customers
the fastest time-to-market in developing high capacity, highly
scalable and flexible packet processing solutions.
Marvell will be showcasing Questflo and the complete packet
processing solutions at the upcoming Linley Tech Processor
Conference this week, October
22nd-23rd, at the Hyatt Regency, in
Santa Clara, Calif.
