Tahoe 8850
Marvell OCTEON 10® DPU CN106 1U
Artificial Intelligence Ready Networking Appliance
ARM Appliances

The Tahoe 8850 from Interface Masters is a highly-flexible 1U networking appliance for enterprise installations. The ARM-based appliance is based on Marvell's game-changing 5nm OCTEON 10 DPU CN106 ARM-64 multicore processor and features:
- An optimized AI pipeline: the device supports any off-the-shelf PCIe x16 network card including advanced NVIDIA® or AMD® GPUs (thermally validated using industry-leading ANSYS® thermal simulation).
- Our software differentiator: Marvell SDK operating on multiple Linux distributions.
- Integrated DPDK library: allows writing customer specific user space network applications using included RVU-based coprocessors (ensuring efficient traffic processing).
- US Development and Production: guarantees secure hardware.
- Full certifications: UL, cUL, and CB 62368-1.
Tahoe 8850 could be updated to support CN103, as an alternative OCTEON 10 DPU.
Target applications include any appliance benefiting from comprehensive hardware accelerators including an integrated hardware ML/AI acceleration engine, and applications requiring hardware based VPP acceleration, integrated 1Tb switch, true inline crypto, programmable packet processors, secure boot, physically unclonable function and PCIe DMA acceleration.
