Marvell

As part of a fruitful collaboration with Arm, Marvell has developed innovative, highly flexible, and scalable embedded processors for networking, storage, and high-computing applications. Built on Marvell’s ground-breaking MoChi architecture, a virtual system-on-chip (VSoC) approach that releases the industry from the slow-down of Moore’s law, leading Arm CPU cores provide the performance, power, and ecosystem customers need while Marvell focuses on the core value propositions in modular hyperscale virtual SoC technology.  It’s a combination that has been successful for customers looking for solutions that allow rapid time to market by leveraging their investment across multiple platforms and Open Software implementations.

“At Marvell, we understand that the vast amount of data moving from devices to the edge and to the cloud requires greater accessibility at ever-increasing speeds, security and reliability. Marvell’s multi-core Arm-based SoC portfolio combined with Marvell’s Prestera® switch and Alaska® PHY families provide robust solutions that bring scalability, modularity and faster time-to-market to data center and enterprise customers. We have a rich history working with Arm, and our Arm-based SoCs have provided the foundation for the innovative Marvell ESPRESSObin™ and Marvell MACCHIATObin™ community boards. With Arm, we are working together to accelerate the networking developer communities with an expanded ecosystem and technologies previously not accessible to them. We look forward to continued collaboration with Arm to deliver best-in-class networking and storage solutions.”
