SANTA
CLARA, Calif., March 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor
solutions, will showcase the industry's first 800 Gbps ZR/ZR+
pluggable module for data center interconnects (DCI) with
probabilistic constellation shaping (PCS), an innovative optical
communications modulation technology that optimizes performance and
greatly extends transmission reach.
The demonstration, which takes place in the Marvell booth
(#2225) at OFC 2024, consists of a network featuring a
Marvell® Teralynx® 10 switch and
Marvell 800 Gbps ZR/ZR+ modules.
PCS continually adapts the modulation of coherent signals to
maximize transmission capacity or minimize spectrum and energy. The
technology enables optical fiber to approach the Shannon Limit, the
theoretical maximum transfer rate achievable1. With PCS
enabled, the reach of a Marvell COLORZ 800 module at full bandwidth
doubles from 500km to 1000km. COLORZ 800 is powered by the
Marvell® Orion® 800 Gbps coherent DSP
which enables the widest ecosystem of interoperable 800 Gbps
coherent modules on the market.
"AI is expected to bring a surge in traffic between data centers
to support new services and users," said Josef Berger, Associate Vice President of Cloud
Optics Marketing at Marvell. "Our COLORZ 800 module enables
performance and features previously only found in traditional DCI /
metro systems in a pluggable. We are demonstrating a groundbreaking
DCI application to address the critical need for greater bandwidth
in accelerated infrastructure as AI workloads increase."
In addition, at OFC 2024, Marvell COLORZ 800 modules will be
shown in the Arista booth (#4901). The Arista demonstration
showcases the use case for small form factor pluggable modules in
Arista cloud spine switches and highlights how cloud service
providers can increase bandwidth quickly and cost-efficiently in
DCIs to accommodate the escalating performance demands of AI
workloads.
"Arista is demonstrating Marvell 800G ZR modules in the latest
switching and routing platforms, to provide hyperscale DCI
operators a powerful new tool in the challenge to reduce power and
cost while building state-of-the-art networks. This compelling use
case will drive emerging applications in next generation data
center infrastructure that increase bandwidth and deliver on the
promise of AI," said Hacene
Chaouch, Distinguished Engineer, Arista Networks.
Marvell COLORZ 800 modules are the industry's first 800G
ZR/ZR+ modules for data center interconnects (DCIs). COLORZ 800
incorporates the Marvell Orion 800 Gbps coherent DSP and
innovative, field-proven silicon photonics platform, which
integrates multiple discrete components into a single die. 800G
ZR/ZR+ modules powered by the Marvell Orion coherent DSP are PCS
capable. Along with providing 800 Gbps for DCI links up to 1000km,
COLORZ 800 can also be enabled for connections up to 1,200km
operating at 400/600 Gbps without PCS to replace traditional
transport equipment across a greater range of cloud
infrastructure.
Both the COLORZ 800 module and Orion coherent DSP have been
recognized as Lightwave 2024 Innovation Reviews honorees.
Marvell COLORZ 800 technology will also be showcased as part of
the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) multi-vendor
interoperability demonstration in booth 1323.
