Description
The Aurora 610 employs the power of Intel Tofino switching silicon and well-suited for Top-of-Rack/Spine Datacenter, Enterprise, and Cloud Service Provider network deployments. It has 48 x 25GbE SFP28 and 8 x 100GbE QSFP28 interfaces, which can be configured up to 80 x 25G with break-out cables for high-density scenarios, and delivers full 2.0Tbps throughput.
It is a unique network development platform, designed to bring the twin pillars – performance and programmability – together for the first time in the history of networking. The combination of the Tofino programmable switch chip, the P4 programming language, and P4 Studio toolset are revolutionary.
Intel Tofino™ – the world’s fastest switch silicon, that happens also to be programmable.
P4 – Programming Protocol-independent Packet Processors – www.p4.org exists now as an independent entity to develop a rich open source ecosystem. Unlike human languages, a programming language such as P4 can unambiguously specify the behavior of network forwarding behavior. A programmer can describe the behavior once, then compile the program to run on a variety of different platforms.
InfiniCORE’s Visibility Studio transforms the Aurora 610, Aurora 710, and Aurora 750 into a visibility powerhouse, leveraging the programmability in the Tofino chipset.
P4 Studio – the compilers and development tools needed to compile and debug programs to run on Tofino.
Support of the Stratum project combines next-generation SDN capability with the flexibility of Tofino Match-Action Unit pipelines.
A ready-to-use NOS, SONiC – an open source network operating system based on Linux that runs on switches from multiple vendors and ASICs. SONiC offers a full suite of network functionality, like BGP and RDMA, that has been production-hardened in the data centers of some of the largest cloud service providers. It offers teams the flexibility to create the network solutions they need while leveraging the collective strength of a large ecosystem and community.
The switch has a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) onboard to provide server-like monitoring and power control function through a shared Ethernet interface.
