350Tb Three-Rack Jericho2c+ DDC Cluster Implementation

UfiSpace, Credo, and DriveNets have built upon their 2020 demonstration of a 96Tb Medium Cluster DDC using Jericho2 and Ramon chipsets to implement this new high-capacity implementation.

With updated equipment from UfiSpace, advanced software from DriveNets, and new lower power AECs from Credo, this new three-rack implementation has a 350Tb capacity but runs at significantly lower power. It’s built using Broadcom’s Jericho2c+ chipset.

About

Credo is a leading provider of high performance, mixed-signal semiconductor solutions for the data center, enterprise networking and high-performance computing markets requiring single-lane 25G, 50G, and 100G connectivity for 100G, 200G, 400G, and 800G port enabled networks.

Credo’s distinctively purple HiWire™ Active Electrical Cables deliver plug and play 400G connectivity today that is more affordable than optical solutions and more reliable than copper. The HiWire CLOS AEC cable used in this DDC demo enables 75% greater density compared to DACs while reducing power 75% compared to optical interconnects.

Interconnect
  • Over 1,000 Credo HiWire™ LP CLOS AEC were used for front panel connectivity.
  • Both tray-style and HPC-style configurations are demonstrated
  • Lightweight AECs have the bend radius and ease-of- serviceability that make it impossible for DACs
  • AECs also consume up to 75% less power than AOCs.
About

UfiSpace spearheads the 5G network white-box platform solution by providing US major network operators the capability to support legacy baseband unit systems and next-gen 5G baseband unit systems operating at 10/25 Gbps and with backhaul speeds of 100/400 Gbps.

UfiSpace has been a champion for open commodity hardware and disaggregated NOS architecture which enables a more flexible, scalable and cost-effective alternative to the traditional proprietary, closed system.

UfiSpace is accelerating 5G deployment and the transformation in software defined infrastructure.

Interconnect
  • New Gen3 Network Cloud Platform component (NCP3)
  • 36x400G capacity based on Broadcom’s Jericho 2c+ ASIC.
  • Supports 14.4Tb stand alone up to 691.2Tb large clusters.
  • For use in MPLS Core, Provider Edge, and Data Center Spine applications.
About

DriveNets helps Communications Service Providers (CSPs) take advantage of the greatest demand surge in Telco history, substantially growing their profitability by changing their technological and economic models.

DriveNets' solution — Network Cloud changes the traditional networking architecture that has been in place for twenty years by adapting the architectural model of hyperscalers to Telco-grade networking.

Network Cloud is a cloud-native software that runs over standard white boxes, radically simplifying the network's operational model, offering Telco-scale performance at a much lower cost.

Interconnect
  • New NCP solution extends capacity to 691 Tbps with 7nm Jericho 2c+ 400G ASIC.
  • This is the first commercial production using Broadcom’s Jericho2c+ ASIC.
  • Backward compatibility in the same cluster enables easy migration.
  • Reduces both carbon and physical footprint
