Trident SmartToR brings unmatched
performance and scale along with merchant-
silicon economics to disrupt a market which
has, until now, relied on low-performing and
expensive processors and FPGAs.
High resolution, high throughput connection monitoring. Telemetry filtering, deduplication, and summarization.
The world’s best-in-class of high throughput, low power devices for the enterprise.
“Alibaba has had a long and successful history of collaboration with Broadcom. The new Trident SmartToR family comes with enhanced programmability, state-aware processing, and extensive table and tunnel expansion. These new SmartToR features will enable Alibaba to deliver a new generation of highperformance and high throughput data center network infrastructure.”

Now shipping in volume.
Broadcom Tomahawk expands the family to include two new Tomahawk chips to enable your system designs. These products demonstrate the benefits of Broadcom’s strategy and commitment to providing optimized chips for specific network needs, delivering twice the efficiency of any other alternatives.
“By advancing the 25.6Tbps Tomahawk 4 from samples to volume shipments in less than one year, Broadcom has once again demonstrated its ability to deliver first on the highest performance switch/router silicon. The expansion of the Tomahawk family to include 50G PAM4 and 100G PAM4 SerDes variants means that hyperscalers can fully optimize their data centers with their choice of optical and electrical interconnect.”
