Marvell Technology, Inc., a leader in semiconductor solutions for data infrastructure, has announced the expansion of its strategic relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This five-year agreement includes a multigenerational collaboration on key AWS products and the use of AWS cloud infrastructure, reinforcing their shared commitment to driving innovation in accelerated infrastructures.
Advanced Semiconductors for Data Centers
The agreement includes a wide range of Marvell semiconductor products designed for data centers, such as:
- Custom Products for AI
- Optical Digital Signal Processors (DSP) and Active Electrical Cables (AEC).
- PCIe Retimers.
- Optical Interconnect Modules for Data Centers (DCI).
- Ethernet Switching Solutions.
These technologies enable AWS to enhance its computing, networking, and storage capabilities in data centers, achieving greater efficiency, lower total cost of ownership, and faster time to market.
Cloud-Based Electronic Design with AWS
Marvell has adopted a “cloud-first” approach by utilizing AWS for Electronic Design Automation (EDA). This model allows Marvell to accelerate silicon design by leveraging AWS’s scalable and advanced computing capabilities. Thanks to the elasticity of AWS infrastructure, Marvell can efficiently manage the dynamic workloads associated with advanced silicon design nodes, parallelizing additional tasks and significantly reducing product development time.
Statements from Leaders
Matt Murphy, President and CEO of Marvell, stated:
“Strengthening our collaboration with AWS marks an important milestone for Marvell, broadening our relationship in semiconductors for cloud computing and data centers. AWS’s EDA solutions allow us to rapidly scale our silicon design processes, delivering industry-leading accelerated infrastructure with optimal time to market.”
In turn, Matt Garman, CEO of AWS, commented:
“Building an efficient cost and energy cloud at the scale that only AWS can offer begins with cutting-edge semiconductors designed to meet our customers’ infrastructure demands. Our expanded collaboration with Marvell allows us to implement our comprehensive portfolio of semiconductor and specialized hardware to advance our mission of providing the most robust and scalable cloud and AI services in the industry.”
Impact on the Industry
The collaboration between Marvell and AWS sets a benchmark for developing AI infrastructure in the cloud. By combining Marvell’s semiconductor expertise with AWS’s scalability, both companies are leading the way toward more efficient and faster solutions for data centers and cloud services.
