1. Cavium Wedge 100C OCP Contribution
February, 2017

2. Wedge 100C Highlights
1RU 3.2Tb Switching platform with 32 x QSFP28 ports
Supports any combination of 10/25/40/50/100GbE interfaces
Based on the OCP-ACCEPTED™ Wedge 100 contributed by Facebook in Oct’ 16
Leverages Wedge 100 design hardware characteristics with just ASIC replacement
Uses Cavium-XPliant CNX88091 programmable field-proven ASIC
The first and the only programmable ASIC available in production today
Visit Cavium booth for more details

3. XPliant – 1st Programmable Switch Field Deployed
In production since Q3 2016
