Brightways PSPINE switch fabric and Interwatt Networking Chip switch engine innovations, underpin Brightways technological advancement in Cloud power and speed.
The Interwatt Networking Chip
switch engine is the central building block of Brightways UNITEDSA-1776 hyperscale switch. In a Cloud modular switch, multiple networking ASIC chips interwoven together form a very high-speed gigabit internal network called a switch fabric. In Brightways design, the switch fabric is the PSPINE, and the Interwatt Networking Chip switch engine forms the actuating routing component. The Interwatt Networking Chip goes a step further than current market switch engines by integrating more line card functions into the ASIC. Through further integration, the Interwatt Networking Chip avoids extra routing hops and ultimately reduces the work on each packet flowing through and thus the power dissipation, as well as speeds traversing the fabric.
Advancing Cloud Networking
There is an additional advancement in power and latency above and beyond what Brightways UnitedSA-1776 brings itself by migrating from a ToR LAN networking architecture to a hyperscale switch architecture that winds up eliminating the sophisticated, costly layer of ToR switches plus fiber optic transceivers. The combination of Brightways PSPINE and Interwatt Networking Chip not only advances hyperscale switches power and speed performance but also influences the outmoding of the widespread ToR configuration due to the ability to eliminate that costly, inefficient Cloud LAN layer.
Advancing Power & Speed
The migration to a cloud modular switch brings significant improvements in speed and power, removing the need for an extra networking layer in typical Top-of-Rack (ToR) setups. The innovative PSPINE technology enhances power efficiency and reduces latency, setting new industry benchmarks. Central to this advancement is the INTERWATT CHIP, known for its outstanding design and features. It provides high customizability, increased processing power, and ultra-low latency, all while ensuring excellent energy efficiency. With robust security, easy scalability, seamless integration, real-time data processing, and versatile applications, the INTERWATT CHIP stands out as a leader in the field.
