Experience next-gen enterprise networking with the Asteraix ET3608-2P2S, an open intelligent platform/gateway featuring the Marvell OCTEON 10 CN103XX processor. Designed for carrier-grade, edge, and data center networks. The ET3608 is a 1U compact, open-intelligent gateway designed specifically for large-scale enterprise, carrier, and data center environments. It supports up to one Marvell OCTEON 10 CN103XX DPU, each integrating an 8-core ARM Neoverse N2 processor, programmable Ethernet ports with a bidirectional throughput of 100 Gbps, and an embedded encryption/decryption engine with a processing capacity of 80 Gbps.
A standard Linux server — with 100 Gbps hardware acceleration built in
Run any ARM64 Linux software on the ET3608, with the Marvell CN103 DPU's DPDK, SSL/TLS, and VPP acceleration always available as native hardware. No x86, no separate NIC card, no FPGA license. Optimized DPDK tied to CN103 hardware. 100 Gbps packet processing without saturating the CPU cores. Hardware encryption/decryption engine at 80 Gbps. TLS termination without a software bottleneck. VPP plugin API, eBPF/XDP in kernel. Write your own forwarding logic directly against the hardware. Docker, Kubernetes, KVM — all run natively alongside the accelerated data plane on the same box.
