WHAT NEXT?
Cavium recently expanded its product portfolio with a significant new initiative, Project Thunder, to reshape the next generation cloud and data center. Enterprise, mobile consumer applications and storage are rapidly moving to the cloud. In the enterprise corporations are implementing a range of mission-critical applications and virtua desktops in the cloud. In mobile and consumer networks, millions of users are simultaneously accessing services and applications and collaborating with unprecedented growth and scale. These trends are driving a dramatic change in the data-center causing convergence of computing, networking, security and storage with virtualization. This requires data-centers to consolidate workloads, virtualized networks and implement application-optimized servers and storage in a dramatically lower power and cost envelope. Project Thunder plans to deliver a family of highly integrated, multi-core SoC processors that will incorporate highly optimized, ful custom cores based on 64-bit ARMv8 instruction set architecture (ISA) into an innovative sy-stem-on-chip (SoC) that will redefine features, performance, power and cost metrics for the next generation cloud and datacenter markets.
