Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) , leading data infrastructure semiconductor solutions provider, has recently unveiled COLORZ 800, the industry's inaugural 800Gbps ZR/ZR+ pluggable module series designed to rapidly, economically, and efficiently expand data center interconnects (DCI) in the era of artificial intelligence. Marvell will showcase this product at the ECOC exhibition taking place in Glasgow, Scotland from October 2nd to 4th, 2023.
- COLORZ 800 stands as the industry's first 800Gbps ZR/ZR+ coherent pluggable optical module series tailored for connecting data centers located up to 1200 kilometers apart.
- Doubling the connection speed from 400Gbps to 800Gbps, COLORZ 800 broadens ZR/ZR+ use cases while reducing both capital and operational expenditures.
- COLORZ 800 integrates Marvell's brand-new 5nm Orion 800G coherent DSP and a field-proven innovative silicon photonics platform.
COLORZ 800 incorporates Marvell's novel Orion 800Gbps coherent DSP and a validated innovative silicon photonics platform, which amalgamates multiple discrete components into a single chip, providing up to 800Gbps bandwidth for DCI links spanning as far as 500 kilometers. Operating at speeds of 400/600Gbps, COLORZ 800 also achieves connections of up to 1200 kilometers, replacing conventional transmission equipment in broader cloud infrastructure settings.
Compared to traditional rack-mounted DCI boxes with embedded DSP, COLORZ 800 can slash DCI's capital costs by up to 75%, concurrently reducing operational expenses such as power, rack space, and real estate. Furthermore, in comparison to existing solutions, COLORZ 800 boasts a twofold speed increase while reducing per-bit costs and per-bit power consumption by 30%.
