Broadcom announced the availability of its Brocade X8 Directors and G820 56‑port switch, the first 128G Fibre Channel platforms engineered for enterprise AI workloads. The switches combine quantum‑safe encryption, AI‑driven management, and 128G throughput to deliver the bandwidth and low latency that modern AI training and inference clusters demand.
The launch is a key element of Broadcom’s broader AI strategy, which pairs high‑performance networking with its custom AI accelerators and VMware Cloud Foundation. By offering a 128G solution that integrates post‑quantum security and AI‑powered automation, Broadcom is positioning itself to meet the escalating bandwidth and security needs of hyperscale AI data centers and to capture a growing share of the AI infrastructure market.
Broadcom expects the new switches to deepen its presence in AI‑centric data center infrastructure, strengthen its competitive position, and create a new revenue stream as AI workloads continue to scale. The product line complements the company’s AI semiconductor growth and reinforces its integrated approach to AI solutions.
Investors reacted favorably to the launch, buoyed by the announcement and the positive sentiment surrounding Nvidia’s strong Q3 earnings. Broadcom’s Q3 2025 earnings beat—exceeding analyst expectations by $0.03 per share—underscored the company’s execution strength and reinforced confidence in its AI‑focused roadmap.
The introduction of the Brocade X8 and G820 switches signals Broadcom’s commitment to being a foundational enabler of the AI revolution, offering end‑to‑end solutions that span compute, connectivity, and software. The move strengthens the company’s position in a rapidly expanding market and sets the stage for continued growth in its AI‑centric product portfolio.
