X1 Family of Data Center Switches
For the Next-Generation Cloud Infrastructure
X1 family of 25.6Tbps and 12.8Tbps fully programmable data center switches deliver application-optimized switching for top-of-rack, data center fabric, and HPC, AI, and ML clusters.
X1 is the industry’s first, low power 25.6Tbps (32 x 800G) data center switch with 100G SerDes and is designed from the ground up to address the bandwidth, power, form factor, and radix requirements for current and next generation cloud deployments and hyperscale networks.
X1 introduces a groundbreaking new architecture that achieves new levels of power and silicon efficiencies. It enables cloud service providers to deploy a 25.6Tbps (32 x 800G) in a 1 RU form factor.
X1’s architecture incorporates a unique set of features, like application-optimized switching, X-PND™, and X-IQ™ enabling customers’ switch deployments to achieve optimized latency and power efficiency.
Key Features Include
At less than 300W for 25.6Tbps and under 200W for 12.8Tbps for typical data center use cases, X1 is the industry’s lowest power data center switch silicon
Built with industry-leading 256 x 100G LR PAM4 SerDes, X1 enables retimer-less design, supporting in-rack DAC connectivity for the 100G ecosystem. X1 also supports the new 800G optics ecosystem, delivering a 2x improvement in port density vs. 400G optics
Application-optimized switching architecture delivers the lowest power and lowest latency for customer-specific deployment use cases
No compromise, fully shared buffer architecture enables wire-speed in-cast performance for worst-case microburst absorption
Supports an extensive suite of programmable Dataplane Telemetry that enables best-in-class visibility into the network for monitoring, troubleshooting, and real-time analysis and decision making
Supports a broad range of switch configurations:
- 25.6Tbps: 256 x 100G, 128 x 200G, 64 x 400G, 32 x 800G
- 12.8Tbps: 256 x 50G, 128 x 100G, 64 x 200G, 32 x 400G, 16 x 800G
Xsight Labs’ X1 family of products features essential tools to facilitate the customer’s deployment and optimization needs, including:
- X-PND™ Engine: Xsight’s expandable Elastic Resource Engine changes the paradigm from “use it or lose it” to unconditional resource elasticity, allowing unprecedented flexibility in resource allocation across packet buffer and control tables.
- X-IQ™ Engine: Xsight’s Intelligent Queuing provides lower flow completion time (FCT) and improves overall application performance with support for up to 64k (256 per port) queues with advanced congestion control.
- X-MON™: Xsight’s Monitoring, Analysis, and Predictive Maintenance Manager, powered by Universal Chip Telemetry™ (UCT) from proteanTecs, allows data centers to monitor the health and performance of in-field systems, optimize performance, extend system lifetimes, and support a comprehensive predictive fleet maintenance strategy to significantly lower operational costs.
2x improvement in performance in 1 RU form factor
X1 delivers a 2x improvement in port density in a 1 RU form factor by championing the transition to the 100G SerDes ecosystem.
Other benefits of transitioning to 100G SerDes ecosystem include:
- Optimized power efficiency
- Transition to 800G optics ecosystem
- 400G server connectivity
