High-performance, Programmable Networking Solutions for Data Center and Cloud-based Applications
|
Why Programmability Matters?
There have been discussions about the programmability of the data center for a long time, where IT managers can more holistically manage their data center switches and other networking components. The ever-increasing rise of cloud applications and services, the expanding use of video in many applications, all adds to a high volume of data. And, all this data traffic is built on data centers. Compared to standard fixed-function switches, operators are looking for flexible programmable switches that allow a greater control of the data center. Programmable switch ASICs not only can customize the behavior of switches, but also exploit unique characteristics of data centers to scale.
The Benefits of Programmability
Programmable switch ASICs deliver complete customized flexibility without significantly sacrificing performance, increasing power, or adding to costs. This enables a more efficient packet pipeline; users are also able to customize the behavior of physical switches to meet their needs. Programmable switches help to build scalable infrastructure services and realize the benefits of automation. Meanwhile, low latency, high throughput, and lower costs are all benefits that operators are chasing.
