Mike Yang, Senior Vice-President, Quanta Computer Inc. and President, Quanta Cloud Technology:
"By collaborating with silicon solution leaders such as Broadcom, QCT has helped transform cloud data centers to maximize technology integration and innovation in the large-scale deployment of servers, storage, and networking. We are focused on bringing to market a number of platform solutions leveraging the superior Ethernet switching capabilities of Broadcom's Trident 3 switch family. Our common customers will be able to build on the robust feature set they have deployed over generations of StrataXGS based QCT switches, with the added protection of intercepting new network protocols and telemetry functions using the programmable architecture of Trident 3."
Network Software Vendors:
Prashant Gandhi, Chief Product Officer, Big Switch Networks:
"As Big Switch advances our next-generation data center networking solutions to cloud-native applications, software-defined data centers and software-defined security & monitoring, access to advanced switch ASIC functions become paramount to delivering network innovations while operating in an agile, efficient and scalable manner. Broadcom’s Trident 3 ASIC will enable us to build high performance SDN fabric solutions for enterprise, service providers, cloud and SAAS customers with many new capabilities such as deep fabric analytics, efficient leaf-spine flow distribution, service chaining for L4-7 services, network function virtualization and cybersecurity features.”
JR Rivers, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Cumulus Networks:
"Broadcom fundamentally enabled the Open Networking ecosystem and their continuous innovations in switching silicon are advancing the state-of-the-art in terms of cost efficiency, power, performance, and functionality. The FleXGS architecture brings a broad set of programmability to the popular Trident family, setting new expectations for field adaptable switching equipment. Cumulus Networks is collaborating with Broadcom to realize the industry's most capable and high-quality open networking solutions based on Trident 3 and Cumulus Linux."
Atsushi Ogata, President & CEO, IP Infusion:
"IP Infusion looks forward to adding support for Broadcom’s Trident 3 switch series to the OcNOS network operating system, which currently supports multiple generations of StrataXGS silicon. OcNOS will leverage the FleXGS programmable architecture to enable advanced networking features for service provider and next generation data center applications, and will also take advantage of Trident 3's programmability to support rich features for SDN and NFV.”
Kumar Srikantan, President and CEO, Pluribus Networks:
"The architectural approach and tradeoffs made in switch ASICs have a profound impact on the efficiency, agility, resiliency and performance of software-defined cloud fabrics. Pluribus Networks has brought to market disruptive and highly scalable networking software solutions, including our Adaptive Cloud Fabric built on the popular NetVisor OS, by designing to Broadcom switch ASICs that deliver on all dimensions of importance to network operators. With the new Trident 3 family, our SDN and monitoring solutions can take advantage of a highly flexible switch data plane, with excellent system power, cost, buffering, visibility, and resiliency characteristics at multi-terabit performance."
Jason Forrester, Founder and CEO, Snaproute:
“We are excited to be collaborating with Broadcom and to integrate with a wide range of network devices built on Broadcom’s StrataXGS Trident 3 family. The programmable, API-driven nature of our FlexSwitch network operating system makes it uniquely suited to delivering network data-plane and control-plane innovation enabled by this new generation of switch chips.”
