Nvidia spectrum 4 51.2 Tb/S ethernet swiTch asic

Cloud-native, accelerated computing and AI are the new frontiers of networking, with the amount of data generated by AI growing exponentially and driving ever-increasing performance volumes across all industries. All workloads are becoming cloud-native and scaling with containerized microservices that require large bandwidth for data access and communication in the data center. The new NVIDIA Spectrum®-4, the 5th generation ASIC in the NVIDIA Spectrum Ethernet platform, is just in time to meet the demands of cloud-native, accelerated compute and AI workloads. Spectrum accelerates workloads from the core to the cloud to the edge.

Spectrum-4 not only provides accelerated Ethernet for all data center workloads, but also the most advanced and innovative feature set to date. This includes unique features such as cloud security through MACsec over VXLAN and end-to-end nanosecond time precision from switch to host.
