Introduction
Several trends in network demands are putting particularly strong pressure on data centers to increase port density and performance while reducing cost per port and power consumption - goals that can only be met by using more highly integrated network switch chips. As continuing enhancements to Ethernet standards prove capable of serving the requirements of the converged data center, 10-Gbps Ethernet (10GbE) switches are becoming the ideal technology for meeting the need.
By increasing switch integration to 26 ports in a single chip, Fujitsu Microelectronics is enabling a significant improvement in port density for data center interconnects. This technology backgrounder profiles the forces driving data center requirements and shows how the Fujitsu MB86C69RBC switch chip provides the capabilities to meet those requirements – capabilities that reach far beyond high port density.
