Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a
global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless
communications, today announced a new line of switch system-on-a-chip (SoC)
solutions optimized to address workforce mobility and evolving network
requirements in the enterprise. Broadcom 's new StrataXGS BCM56340 Series
delivers a broad range of innovative features that simplify the provisioning and
monitoring of mobile user traffic while providing secure, seamless and
high-speed connectivity to the data center and cloud-computing storage
resources. For more news, visit Broadcom 's
Newsroom.
As the number of connected devices and
emergence of cloud-based applications continues to climb, demand for
higher-bandwidth enterprise networks is growing at a rapid pace. With the trend
toward bring-your-own-device (BYOD) in the workplace, enterprise IT managers
must adapt with scalable, affordable, secure platforms in a unified
infrastructure.
"IT organizations are under increasing
pressure to provide access to applications and data from anywhere, at any time,
via any device,"said Matthias Machowinski, Infonetics Directing Analyst,
Enterprise Networks and Video. "Bandwidth, integration and intelligent security
features that scale to a large number of users are among the top requirements.
Broadcom 's latest innovation for the enterprise should strengthen the company's
position as a leading supplier in this space."
Built on the proven StrataXGS architecture,
the BCM56340 Series delivers more than 120 Gbps of line-rate performance with
large forwarding tables, to meet the needs of a growing mobile user base in
enterprise campus networks. App-IQ security intelligence distributes enterprise
firewall capabilities among all access ports, eliminating network bottlenecks
and delivering increased application visibility. Control and provisioning of
wireless access points (CAPWAP) tunnel port capabilities provide seamless
unified wireless/wireline integration. These highly integrated products combine
a 48-port gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switching core, a dual-core ARM A9 CPU, and
energy-efficient 10GbE SerDes uplinks into a single chip solution.
"Mobile device use in the enterprise
continues to scale at a dramatic rate, straining the network in terms of
bandwidth, data security, and connectivity to services. IT managers are seeking
solutions to enable a considerably more agile and secure network," said Ram
Velaga , Broadcom Vice President and General Manager of the Core Switching Group
. "Our new StrataXGS devices are designed from the ground up to address these
challenges, delivering maximum stackable port density and performance,
distributed security intelligence, and unified switching across LANs, WLANs, and
data centers — all in a single chip solution."
- 89 percent of enterprise networks enable BYOD2
- 75 percent of US IT managers said new rules must be established around security and device usage2
- 90 percent of IT managers feel the use of mobile devices pose a significant threat to security3
- 1/10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet ports are forecasted to exceed 600 million ports by 20164
- App-IQ distributed security intelligence provides high bandwidth Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) for highly granular application visibility
- Integrated Smart-Buffer capabilities provide optimal, adaptive management of network congestion and absorption of bursty workloads
- Integrated Smart-Table technology delivers large Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding scale with flexible, network topology-based provisioning
- Layer 2 multipathing and network virtualization via IEEE 802.1BR enable optimum workload mobility
- Large IPv6 forwarding tables, up to 80G stacking and optional 40GE uplinks provide maximum scalability for Fortune500 network environments
The StrataXGS BCM56340 Series is now
sampling in multiple device options. Volume production is slated for the second
half of 2013. Visit
