Oracle unveils Acceleron cloud networking capabilities

Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) announced new networking capabilities in Oracle Acceleron at its AI World event in Las Vegas. The cloud networking suite combines dedicated network fabrics, converged network interface cards, and host-level security routing designed to reduce data movement overhead and provide high-bandwidth, low-latency connections.

Oracle Acceleron includes dedicated fabric network architecture that uses performance-optimized fabrics to isolate traffic and support multiple fabrics. The system features multi-planar networking that connects customer network interface cards to multiple isolated network planes, allowing traffic to shift instantly if one plane experiences issues.

The fabric accelerator removes intermediaries and network hops to reduce latency and improve efficiency. The host network accelerator includes a converged network interface card that partitions a SmartNIC into customer and provider planes, enabling storage acceleration with NVMe over TCP and line-rate encryption.

Oracle claims the system delivers up to 2x potential network processing capacity and up to 2x storage input/output operations per second compared to previous approaches. The Zero-Trust Packet Routing feature enforces security policies at the host level and blocks unauthorized inspection paths.

"Our customers want cloud infrastructure to help them innovate faster, operate more efficiently, and scale with confidence," said Clay Magouyrk, CEO of Oracle.

Arista Networks and AMD expressed support for the collaboration. AMD confirmed that converged NICs powered by AMD Pensando DPUs will launch early next year as part of Oracle Acceleron.

The information is based on Oracle's press release statement.
