Marvell Puts CXL, PCIe 6.0 SSDs and Optics at the Center of Memory Disaggregation

EE Times Asia reports that Marvell is presenting three product lines as parts of one memory-disaggregation approach: the Bravera SC6 PCIe 6.0 SSD controller, Structera CXL products for memory expansion and pooling, and Photonic Fabric components for optical shared-memory designs. The company positions the portfolio across server storage, rack-scale memory pooling and multi-rack shared-memory architectures. In the storage layer, the Bravera controller is intended for AI-oriented workloads such as key-value caching, where placing more data on SSDs can improve infrastructure efficiency. For memory markets, the significance is architectural rather than an immediate supply event. Wider deployment of CXL and SSD-backed data tiers could alter how hyperscalers allocate DDR memory and NAND capacity as AI clusters scale.
