Membership reinforces company's commitment to
innovation in data center network infrastructure, Ethernet
technology and standards-based open ecosystems
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Nov. 28,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor
solutions, today announced it has joined the Ultra Ethernet
Consortium (UEC), part of the Linux Foundation's Joint Development
Foundation. Enormous changes in cloud infrastructure are being
driven by generative AI workloads and a shift from traditional
computing architectures toward accelerated computing. The UEC is
bringing leading companies together to cooperate on developing
Ethernet specifications and software APIs to ensure data center
networks can meet these new performance and interoperability
demands.
The shift to accelerated computing is disrupting cloud data
center architectures and driving the need for higher performance,
higher bandwidth, and lower-latency infrastructure at an
unprecedented cadence. To meet these challenges, Marvell develops
infrastructure silicon that enables cloud service providers, OEMs
and other partners to scale rapidly, efficiently and economically
while supporting open standards.
The Marvell accelerated computing portfolio includes optical
PAM4 DSPs, TIAs and drivers for mid- to long-reach optical
connections inside data centers, active electrical cable (AEC) PAM4
DSPs for short-reach connections within compute racks,
COLORZ® data center interconnect (DCI) pluggable modules
for long distance connections between data centers, and
Teralynx® Ethernet switches for low-latency fabrics
between compute nodes. Marvell is also collaborating directly with
cloud providers to deliver cloud-optimized, custom compute
solutions that address their unique infrastructure and services
most efficiently.
"The future of the AI cloud will rely on standards-based
Ethernet to deliver the scale and performance required for next
generation workloads across the wide range of operator
applications," said Nick
Kucharewski, senior vice president and GM, Network Switching
Business Unit, at Marvell. "Marvell is committed to continuous
innovation on an open, Ethernet-based cloud fabric, and we look
forward to working with the UEC members to make this a
reality."
"We're pleased to welcome Marvell as a new member of UEC as
we embrace the future of technology and the evolving landscape of
AI workloads. UEC was established with a mission to formulate
Ethernet specifications that meet the network's evolving demands
and growing workloads. This transformation in network traffic,
comparable in significance to the shift from voice to video,
necessitates innovative solutions. The collaboration with Marvell
and the rest of the members will expedite the integration of
UEC-inspired Ethernet enhancements into comprehensive systems,
ready to meet the dynamic demands of the market," said Dr. J Metz,
steering committee chair of Ultra Ethernet Consortium.
The Ultra Ethernet solution stack will capitalize on Ethernet's
ubiquity and flexibility for handling a wide variety of workloads
while being scalable and cost-effective. The consortium will work
on minimizing communication stack changes while maintaining and
promoting Ethernet interoperability.
