Dune and NetLogic validated the interoperability between their products

Dune Networks and NetLogic Microsystems have validated the interoperability between Dune's switching solution and NetLogic Microsystems' 10 Gigabit Ethernet PHY solution. In addition to the collaborative Paran reference platform, the companies have also validated the RXAUI interoperability on joint customer solutions.

The 6.25Gbps RXAUI interface doubles the performance of the serial connectivity between the PHY and the switching silicon, or reduces the number of serial lanes by 50% to achieve the same throughput when compared with the 3.125Gbps XAUI interface.

The Paran reference solution is currently in evaluation at several Tier One customers for their high-density data center switches.

"We're excited to collaborate with Dune Networks and to have completed interoperability testing on the high-performance RXAUI interface between Dune's Petra P3xx high-density datacenter switching solution and our 10GE PHY," said Stefanos Sidiropoulos, vice president of Physical Layer Products at NetLogic Microsystems. "By ensuring interoperability and enhancing ease of system integration, we are meeting our customers' demands for enhanced performance, functionality and scalability."

"We are happy to join forces with NetLogic Microsystems following the release of its RXAUI-enabled SFP+ solution for the dense, low cost 10GE PHY market," said Ori Aruj, vice president of marketing at Dune Networks. "Scalable data center providers pushing performance, density, scalability to new highs while driving power and cost to record lows, chose the collaborative Dune and NetLogic Microsystems solution, to scale their 10GE switches and expand their 40GE and 100GE offering."
