NXP Semiconductors N.V. has collaborated with original design manufacturer (ODM) Accton Technology Corporation to develop a network services switch solution which is the first to combine the extreme 64-bit performance of ARM Cortex-A72 technology within a proven ODM design and in a comprehensive, open standards-based software platform.
To streamline development and speed customer time to market, the NXP and Accton offering supports open networking standards including those from the Open Compute Project (OCP). In addition, NXP’s VortiQa application-level software features network functions easily leveraged by OEMs and operators for rapid productization.
“This new services platform will allow our customers to deliver a differentiated product to market in months, not years, which is a ‘must’ for leadership in the white box space and other high-growth markets,” said Tareq Bustami, SVP and GM of NXP’s Digital Networking business.
Based on NXP’s new QorIQ LS2088A processor offering eight 2.2 GHz Cortex-A72 cores at under 25 W of power, the NXP network switching platform delivers the high end performance to support “top-of-rack” applications at the heart of the data center, as well as the power efficiency to scale cloud edge networking equipment where energy efficiency is critical.
The Accton Edge-core AS7700 utilizes Broadcom’s StrataXGS Tomahawk Switch Series and has 32 QSFP28 ports in a 1U form factor, with each port supporting 100GbE, 2x50GbE, 40GbE, 4x25GbE or 4x10GbE connections.
