BCM88600 Series
Video and data traffic continue to increase, making massive scalability and ultra high bandwidth key requirements for next generation switching infrastructures. Large data centers with thousands of servers will soon require 100 Gbps network connectivity in the core and for interconnecting data centers, while large service provider networks will require core routers with 100 Gbps interfaces.
Broadcom's BCM88600 series is the first Ethernet switching silicon to enable scalable modular switching platforms with capacity ranging from 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps) to 100 Terabits per second (Tbps). The series integrates the features and functionality of an entire high-performance line card into a single chip, enabling a new generation of ultra high-bandwidth networking solutions. The BCM88600 series is a highly scalable and flexible solution that can be used to build a variety of network switching solutions, from small, fixed configurations to large standalone modular chassis-based solutions. The unified infrastructure allows system vendors to build a single, scalable product-line sharing the same switching infrastructure to address a variety of densities and applications.
Broadcom's data center portfolio provides highly integrated, low power devices for every step of the network with the latest protocols and features supporting LAN and SAN convergence.
The BCM88600 series joins Broadcom's other complementary silicon and software solutions for the data center market segment including:
- BCM56845 - 64-port 10GbE switch, configurable for 40GbE
