NetLogic Microsystems announces breakthrough innovations to achieve dramatically lower latency for next-generation data centers
March 15, 2011
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. [NASDAQ: NETL], a worldwide leader in high-performance intelligent semiconductor solutions for next-generation Internet networks, today announced breakthrough innovations in high-speed physical layer SerDes development that has resulted in the world's lowest latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) PHY solution for next-generation data centers.
With the strong growth in cloud computing, large data centers, high-frequency financial trading, online advertisement insertion and high-performance computing, the response time or latency of the network becomes one of the most critical elements in data center performance. These applications require dramatically lower latency to significantly improve user experience and financial profits. Every nanosecond of latency in the data center, for example, can make a major difference in price points on a large trading exchange in the financial industry.
NetLogic Microsystems' new dual-channel AEL2020-LL PHY with integrated SerDes features an ultra low-latency of 70 nanoseconds (ns), which is nearly a half of existing solutions. In addition to the ultra low-latency, the AEL2020-LL PHY device offers the industry's lowest power consumption and supports multiple protocols and multiple media types - single-mode fiber (10GBASE-LR), multi-mode fiber (10GBASE-SR and 10GBASE-LRM), direct-attached copper (10GBASE-CR) and extended reach optics (10GBASE-ER).
"As the leading provider of ultra-low latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches for clouds and data centers, we are very pleased with NetLogic Microsystems' continued technical leadership in reducing PHY latency," said Andy Bechtolsheim, chairman and chief development officer at Arista Networks. "Our close collaboration with NetLogic Microsystems has been key to achieve the lowest Ethernet switch latency in the industry."
"We are pleased to have once again raised the bar for the industry by delivering our 10GbE PHY products with best-in-class latency, power and jitter performance to effectively address next-generation data center requirements," said Stefanos Sidiropoulos, vice president of Physical Layer Products at NetLogic Microsystems. "By continually pushing the envelope on product innovations and process technology, we are able to stay ahead of our competition and grow our share in the market."
