SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Nov. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) today introduced its
second-generation Alaska® Octal
Scalable mGig PHY family, bringing industry-leading performance,
cable reach, low power and speed to enterprise networking
infrastructure. The mGig PHYs are the newest additions to Marvell's
borderless enterprise portfolio, a comprehensive set of
Prestera® switches and Alaska PHYs architected
to address the specific requirements as emerging mobility and cloud
applications extend the boundaries of the traditional campus
environment. Designed to optimize borderless enterprise access and
aggregation switching, the new PHY family offers a clear upgrade
path to multi-Gigabit (mGig) technology.
Together with the previously released access, aggregation and
core Prestera Ethernet switches and Alaska PHYs, the new devices
are part of Marvell's Scalable mGig Solutions that incorporate 10G,
5G and 2.5G capabilities and provide a seamless and flexible
upgrade from 1Gb Ethernet. The Octal mGig-10G 88X3580,
a 10G PHY transceiver and the Octal
mGig-5G 88E2580, a 2.5/5G PHY
transceiver both exceed IEEE cable reach requirements, optimizing
the number of access switch deployments and simplifying campus
networking. The PHYs are the industry's first Octal 10G and 2.5/5G
devices manufactured in 12nm FinFET advanced process technology,
providing lower power consumption by up to 10% compared to the
previous product generation.
The new Octal mGig PHYs are Marvell's first optimized, low power
dissipation, low footprint Octal 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T Ethernet transceivers
with IEEE 1588v2 PTP support. Key features include:
- Long cable reach performance: Exceeds IEEE standard
requirements, 10-20% improvement compared with Marvell's previous
generation Octal solution.
- Low power consumption: The X3580 provides approximately 10%
power reduction compared with Marvell's previous generation Octal
solution.
- Enhanced ESD/surge immunity
- Enhanced EMI protection
- Full Speed range (10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G)
- Small footprint package (17mm x 17mm)
- Dual media support (Optical and BASE-T)
- USXGMII and legacy host interfaces (XFI, 5GBASE-R, 2500BASE-X,
SGMII)
"Our new Octal mGig PHY family is designed to enable and
accelerate emerging mobility and cloud applications by addressing
the demand for bandwidth speed flexibility and lower power
consumption," said Achyut Shah, vice
president and general manager of the PHY BU at Marvell. "Together
with our Prestera switches, the new high-density PHY devices offer
an optimized performance and BOM cost solution. These make them
ideal for mGig switch access use cases such as HD security cameras
and Wi-Fi 6 access points including those for remote deployment
beyond building structured wiring."
"Emerging mobility and cloud applications are extending the
boundaries of the traditional campus environment and driving new
requirements such as extended reach and lower power consumption.
MGig speeds are needed to enable the support of higher bandwidth
deployments such as Wi-Fi 6 access point uplinks," said Sameh
Boujelbene, senior research director, Dell'Oro Group. "The new
Alaska Octal Scalable mGig PHYs from Marvell are the latest
additions to its borderless enterprise portfolio and help address
those requirements."
Marvell's Octal mGig PHY family is part of the industry's most
complete networking portfolio optimized for the borderless
enterprise. The portfolio includes Marvell's unified Prestera
Ethernet switch and Alaska PHY solution set and is architected from
the ground up with insightful telemetry, flow-aware intelligence,
scalable performance and advanced integrated security technologies
that set the bar in switching. With a complete line of GE, 2.5GE,
5GE, 10GE, 25GE, 100GE and 400GE platforms, the portfolio is
designed to fit a variety of network architectures at different
speeds, densities and scales at small, medium and large enterprise
IT organizations.
