AI is Driving Big Changes in Ethernet Switching

Is it time to rethink data center switching? Nick Kucharewski, SVP and GM, Network Switching from Marvell explains:

  • The advent of high-performance AI Cloud computing brings new requirements for Ethernet switching, including high bandwidth, low latency, and the ability to provide deterministic low latency even with multiple users sharing the fabric.
  • The solution lies in a new category of Ethernet switch that can provide high bandwidth, deterministic low latency, and high Ric, essential for wider, flatter networks that can connect compute nodes quickly and efficiently.
  • As we move forward, switches built for AI cluster compute racks and AI Fabrics will start to diverge from switches built for general-purpose compute, with the former focusing on higher bandwidth, lower latency, and more features for deterministic low latency performance, while the latter will focus on efficiency.
