CAMARILLO, CA — (Marketwired) — 04/23/13 — (NASDAQ: VTSS), a leading provider of advanced IC solutions for Carrier and Enterprise networks, expanded its Carrier Ethernet Switch Engine portfolio with (), the industry-s first silicon optimized for high bandwidth and access applications, including and . Featuring () — also announced today — Serval-2 radically simplifies carrier delivery of MEF CE 2.0 services in packet-based mobile and cloud access Ethernet networks.
According to IEEE, communications networks will need to support an average of 58% compound annual growth rates in bandwidth. Operators are moving quickly to packet-based networks to meet opex/capex goals as they try to address this traffic explosion and control network build-out costs. Operators that provide new revenue generating services over private or public cloud networks require new Carrier Ethernet features, including and to support maintenance and billing. Operators must also deliver these services in a ubiquitous, reliable and secure manner over these new and .
“Serval-2 revolutionizes the way in which Carriers can deliver services over Ethernet for high bandwidth mobile backhaul, video distribution, cloud access and more,” said Uday Mudoi, product marketing director at Vitesse. “Vitesse Service Aware Architecture enables efficient delivery of these services. Serval-2 represents Vitesse-s continued focus on delivering solutions for a new generation of network access equipment for mobile/IP Edge and cloud.”
Adding to Vitesse-s widely adopted Serval-1 and Serval-Lite Switch Engines, the Serval-2 family features include:
with per connection feature control and resource allocation. Each Ethernet () can utilize dedicated policers and shapers, statistics, queues, and tagging/marking schemes. Further, each connection may use built-in service activation testing when first provisioned; dedicated OAM functions ensure fault-free and SLA-compliant operation;
of multiple 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and 10 GE ports without the need for additional external components. Current solutions, which typically involve external FPGAs or NPUs to enable Carrier Ethernet features, suffer major performance hits when scaling to the higher bandwidth needs of today-s demanding consumers. In contrast, Serval-2 executes performance-critical functions including OAM and protection switching, and maintains wirespeed performance for even the most demanding service delivery functions;
that meets and network requirements, including those of variable-rate and asymmetric millimeter wave and microwave links;
, enabling RAN sharing and third-party backhaul ownership;
for high bandwidth, media rich traffic delivery over networks.
When combined with Vitesse -enabled PHYs, the Serval family enables a secure network for Layer 2 VPN services at a price point that is 50% lower than alternative solutions.
Samples of Serval-2 will be available in calendar Q3 2013. Learn more at .
