The next-generation Ethernet technology - 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) - has a transmission rate of 10 Gb/s. Given the recent growth of server system performance and larger amounts of data to be processed, 10 GbE has been attracting attention in the IT industry as a high-speed network technology for connecting servers and storage at reasonable cost. To widely apply 10 GbE to IT systems at even lower prices, Fujitsu has been developing a single-chip 10 GbE switch LSI since 2001 and released the world's first 12-port 10 GbE switch LSI in 2003. Fujitsu has now developed the MB8AA3020, which is a new 10 GbE switch LSI intended to further expand the application ranges of 10 GbE switches.
