6/7/2020 BCM56860 Series Products / Ethernet Connectivity, Switching, and PHYs / Ethernet Switches and Switch Fabric Devices / StrataXGS(R) / BCM56860 Series BCM56860 Series CONTACT SALES High Capacity StrataXGS(R) Trident-II+ Ethernet Switch Series Currently Viewing: Overview Overview As server interfaces in the enterprise data center transition from 1 to 10GbE, and virtualization continues to increase link utilization, data center networks are demanding top-of-rack (ToR) switches with dense 10GbE ports and 100GbE connectivity to the spine layer. With support for up to eight 100GbE ports and more than 100 10GbE ports, the StrataXGS(R) Trident-II+ switch series can be used to build highly scalable, lower power, feature-rich ToR switches. Together with spine switches built around the StrataXGS TomahawkTM and StrataDNXTM switch series, the Trident-II+ series form the ideal combination to drive cloud scale networking adoption in the enterprise market. In addition, fabrics of BCM56868 with BCM56860 devices can be interconnected via the HiGig2TM protocol to support multi-terabit chassis designs for large-scale data center, enterprise and service provider applications. The StrataXGS Trident-II+ switch with integrated SmartSwitchTM technology has been designed to address performance, capacity and service requirements for next generation data centers and cloud computing applications. Features Applications Single-chip solution for common fixed top-of-rack (ToR), aggregation and line-card switching applications Routers Support for 100GbE uplinks (to connect to StrataXGS Tomahawk spine switches) Switches Software-Defined Networking Solutions Full performance VMWare(R) VXLAN and Microsoft(R) NVGRE tunneling protocol performance Up to 128x 10G integrated SerDes with Energy Efficient Ethernet for maximum port density per RU Standards compliant switch with support for up to 8 ports of 100 GbE, 32 ports of 40GbE or more than 100 ports of 1GbE/10GbE Drop-in, lower power upgrade for StrataXGS Trident II switches https://www.broadcom.com/products/ethernet-connectivity/switching/strataxgs/bcm56860-series 1/3 6/7/2020 BCM56860 Series Lifecycle Status Active Specifications Specification Value Lifecycle Active Distrib.
