H3C Selects NetLogic's 10 Gigabit Ethernet PHY device for its core switches

NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. has announced that H3C Technologies, a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard Company has selected NetLogic Microsystems' AEL2020 dual-channel 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) PHY device for both its S12500 and S9500E series core switches.

The H3C S12500 supports the 40GE and 100GE standards and can provide 576 10GE ports for high-density 10GE applications. It addresses the burst traffic requirement of next-generation data centers and adopts the distributed ingress buffering technology to provide 200 ms data buffering capability, which meets the burst traffic requirements of data center networks and high-performance computing networks.

"NetLogic Microsystems' 10GE PHY products deliver the high performance, low latency and low power consumption to enable us to develop industry-leading switches for enterprise and data center networks," said Mr. Steven Yoe, vice president of engineering at H3C Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard Company. "We are pleased to collaborate with technology leaders and innovators like NetLogic Microsystems to continue to develop highly competitive, best-in-class system solutions."

"We are proud to have been selected for the highest performance switches in HP/H3C's product lineup," said Stefanos Sidiropoulos, vice president of Physical Layer Products at NetLogic Microsystems. "The strong and continued design win momentum of our 10/40/100GE PHY product family is a testament to both our market and technical leadership in delivering highly differentiated solutions for next-generation data center and core networks."
