World’s first 32 x 400GbE / 128 x 100GbE
integrated switch-on-chip ramping in volume at cloud service
providers
Broadcom, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO), today announced that it has
fully qualified the StrataXGS® Tomahawk
® 3 switch
series for production release, enabling high-volume deployment of
Ethernet network equipment based on market-leading 12.8
Terabits/sec of switching and routing performance implemented on a
single chip. The Tomahawk 3 series is the industry’s first fully
production-qualified silicon family that supports high-density,
line-rate 400GbE, 200GbE, 100GbE, and 50GbE interconnect for
massive scale-out of software-defined cloud data centers, reducing
cost per port by 75% and power-per-port by 40% compared to existing
solutions.
Triggered by an explosion of ultra-high-performance networking
applications in cloud infrastructure, including deep learning,
massively distributed container networking, and disaggregated flash
storage using RoCEv2 and NVME-over-Fabrics, the Tomahawk 3 series
has already been designed into the multi-tiered, scale-out data
center fabrics of the largest cloud service providers
worldwide.
“We are delighted and humbled by the widespread adoption of
Tomahawk 3 based switching solutions in cloud infrastructure,” said
Ram Velaga, senior vice president and general manager, Switch
Products at Broadcom. “Our engineering team has executed to the
demands of the largest cloud operators globally, including the most
rigorous system and network-level qualification requirements – both
in our labs and in customer testbeds. Network operators are able to
immediately deploy Tomahawk 3 based fabrics, at scale, and with
confidence.”
“Broadcom once again has established generational product
leadership in the data-center switching market, with Tomahawk 3
being the first 12.8 Tbps switch to achieve volume production
serving dense 100GbE, 200GbE and 400GbE leaf-spine infrastructure,”
said Bob Wheeler, principal analyst at The Linley Group. “With a
substantial time-to-production-deployment advantage, Tomahawk 3
should secure a commanding presence in the current
hyperscale-network upgrade cycle.”
The Tomahawk 3 switch series features multiple devices at
12.8Tbps, 8.0 Tbps, and 6.4 Tbps based on the industry’s most
performant 50G PAM4 / 25G NRZ SerDes technology. All devices in the
series have completed extensive functional, performance, and
reliability testing and have been qualified for volume
production.
Tomahawk 3 based Hardware Platforms from the Networking
ODM Community:
Multiple high-performance, efficient-form-factor switching
platforms based on the production-qualified Tomahawk 3 series are
available now from the Networking Original Design Manufacturing
(ODM) vendor community.

Industry Quotes
Cloud Network Operators
Zhenyu Hou, Executive Director, System Department,
Baidu:"The rise of AI workloads and RDMA-enabled storage
disaggregation is driving cloud server and storage interconnect to
much higher speeds, and Tomahawk 3 now provides the industry with
its first deployable solution for these applications with
high-density 200/400GbE. Baidu is eager to take advantage of the
significant performance gains and power/cost efficiencies that
Broadcom's new generation of switches can provide."
Yuval Bachar, Principal Engineer, Global Infrastructure
Architecture & Strategy, LinkedIn Corporation, a Microsoft
Company:"Now that Tomahawk 3 production availability is
here, scale-out networks can multiply the capacity of each
switching node to 128 ports of 100GbE, 64 ports of 200GbE, or 32
ports of 400GbE, feeding bandwidth-hungry cloud applications with
the end-to-end performance they need. It also allows for
disaggregated, efficient switching systems to be deployed in the
data center core and aggregation layers. We demonstrated such a
concept at the Open 19 Foundation 2018 Summit with a Tomahawk 3
based 100Tbps+ Virtual Switch Chassis based on standard white box
building blocks. With a proven 12.8Tbps switch chip in Tomahawk 3,
plus 8.0Tbps and 6.4Tbps capacity pin-compatible devices, and a
healthy ecosystem of supporting technologies, the next step in data
center networking is becoming reality."
Wade Shao, Director, Technology & Engineering Group,
Tencent:"We commend Broadcom for achieving the Tomahawk 3
production milestone, and for their continued generational
leadership in cloud switching technology. Having a robust,
ready-to-deploy 12.8Tbps switching element is a key building block
for our next generation leaf-spine infrastructure. It flattens the
network topology and delivers the performance per Watt needed to
further scale out our distributed applications."
Hardware Solution Providers and ODMs
Steven Dorwart, Vice President, Connectivity & Cloud
Solutions, Celestica Inc.:"The combination of Broadcom's
production-ready Tomahawk 3 switch silicon and Celestica's state-of
the-art Silverstone DX400 switch hardware platform provides our
customers, including data center operators, an immediate path to
building out high-capacity 400GbE networks. These Tomahawk 3-based
platforms offer groundbreaking performance, power and cost
efficiency, ease of management, and most importantly, are highly

the design of the Edgecore AS9716-32D 32x400GbE switch, the
industry’s first 400G open network switch, to the Open Compute
Project back in March. After months of comprehensive system
testing and qualification with the Tomahawk 3 silicon, the switch
is robust and ready for initial shipments. With Broadcom's superior
integration and execution in packing 12.8 Terabits per second in a
single chip, and Edgecore's engineering ability to deliver
scale-out deployable switching systems to market, the pace of
innovation in cloud-scale open networking has never been
greater."
Mike Yang, Senior Vice-President of Quanta Computer Inc.
and President of Quanta Cloud Technology: "Congratulations
