Semiconductor company Marvell Technologies has signed a five-year agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The value of the deal, which will see both companies using one another's products, has not been shared.

Marvell will provide a range of data center semiconductors to AWS including custom AI products, optical digital signal processors (DSPs), active electrical cable (AEC) DSPs, PCIe retimers, data center interconnect (DCI) optical modules, and Ethernet switching silicon solutions.

Marvell will also use AWS' cloud infrastructure for electronic design automation (EDA) for its silicon design workloads, taking advantage of the scalability of AWS compute. Marvell will also parallelize additional design tasks.

“Strengthening our partnership with AWS marks a significant milestone for Marvell, deepening our long-standing relationship in cloud computing and data center semiconductors,” said Matt Murphy, chairman and CEO at Marvell.

“AWS's EDA solutions will help Marvell rapidly and securely scale our silicon design process and capabilities to deliver industry-leading accelerated infrastructure with best-in-class time to market.”

Matt Garman, CEO at AWS, added: “Building a cost and power-efficient cloud at the scale that only AWS can deliver begins with leading-edge semiconductors designed to meet the demanding infrastructure needs of our customers.

“Our expanded collaboration with Marvell enables us to deploy our comprehensive semiconductor portfolio and specialized networking hardware to advance our mission to provide the industry’s most robust and scalable cloud and AI services to our customers.”

AWS also develops its own custom semiconductors, including networking and AI chips.

Marvell previously acquired Innovium and Inphi Corporation, aiming to increase its market share in cloud computing networking equipment.
